Frequently Asked Questions About Pole Dancing
What are the benefits of pole dancing?
Pole dancing is a full body workout combining body weight resistance, stretching, calisthenics and gymnastics. Pole fitness can be a great way to build muscle and improve flexibility while becoming part of a diverse, accepting community. Increased self-esteem and body confidence is often seen among pole dancers.

Are your instructors certified?
Yes. Every pole fitness instructor at Fly Fitness Aerial Studio is a professionally certified pole instructor through Xpert Fitness.
Do I need previous experience?
No previous experience is required for our Intro to Pole and Beginner Fundamentals classes. Take a look at our beginner, intermediate and advanced classes and choose which would be best suited for you. Please reach out if you have any questions about which level you are at. Other classes like exotic will have the requirements in the class description.
How many students are in each class?
The maximum number of students per class is 8 and each class needs a minimum of 3 students to run.
What should I wear to class?
We recommend wearing shorts to the Intro to Pole and Beginner 1-2 classes. Shorts are required as you will need skin to stick to the pole. All classes will be barefoot unless otherwise mentioned in the class description. Don't forget to bring your water bottle!
Do your poles spin?
You bet! We use X-pole chrome poles that are static as well as spin poles.
Do you offer bachelorette parties?
Yes. We love hosting birthday parties, bachelorette parties, and corporate team building functions! Click here for more information on booking a private party.
Do you offer gift cards?

Can I put my membership on hold?
With certain restrictions, yes. 3-month memberships cannot be put on hold. Members must inform the studio of their hold by email BEFORE the start date of the hold. Members are not permitted to attend classes during the holding period. *Hold policies only apply to those with a 6-month commitment or longer. Holds are at owner discretion and are not permitted to be used in excessiveness. Usually one hold per membership is permitted without issues. Holds are limited to a maximum of 30 days.*
Do you charge no show fees for missed classes?
Yes. You will be charged an $8 no show fee for any class that you book and do not attend (even members). This is because a pole has been reserved for you and we cannot offer the spot to another student if you do not show up for class.
Are men welcome in your studio?
Absolutely! We are an all-inclusive studio, based on mutual respect and acceptance regardless of race or gender identity.
How old must I be to attend?
Participants must be 18 years or older to attend our studio, due to the sensual nature of some of our classes.
Do you sell pole grip aid at your studio?
Yes! We have Dry Hands and Dew Point available for purchase.
