From the reviews
This place is truly wonderful. After the first class I took in August 2015, I was hooked. The teachers and the people that are in every class are so supportive of you it's amazing. I have never met such a beautiful group of diverse, intelligent, motivated, and determined women (and men!) in one place.
Over the years, I’ve taken classes at both the Fort Collins and Boulder locations. For me, pole dancing was incredibly empowering. It helped give me a major boost to my body positivity when I was struggling with weight gain.
Chelsea was the absolute best. She made me feel very comfortable and added fun and humor into what could be an intimidating situation. I will definitely come again! I also liked that her dog got to join us for the class! Perfect first experience!
If I could give this studio (and instructor Molly specifically) 6 stars, I would! The studio is awesome, the classes are great, and the pricing is even better. Molly was one of the best class instructors I’ve ever had. She was so supportive, encouraging, helpful, and made the class so fun!
Bachelorette & private parties at Vertical Fusion
Vertical Fusion comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.
Your first pole class at Vertical Fusion
Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.
