I came here for a floor work class about a month ago. It was pretty cool. I've realized that floor work is definitely not for me, but the instructor was really nice. He did a great job of making sure everyone kept up and was able to do the various moves. I would definitely like to come back and try aerial. I would also like to potentially try some pole work. They have a number of different classes, and it's super welcoming for new folks. I would recommend.

I booked a Birthday party for me and a few friends. It was an awesome experience. Our instructor, Vanessa was awesome. She took her time and let us be silly and really enjoy the experience. We learned some pole swings and a chair dance. The owner was awesome, very attentive and she answered all my questions before the event. We enjoyed it so much we may be booking a private session just to learn more and get some exercise. I would recommend Fit 4 Polers. We will definitely be going back again.

A friend asked me to try pole dancing class with her a couple of months ago, so I signed up for a Tuesday class with Monica. I was immediately hooked, I also immediately sucked! You know how people say things like that for a compliment? Well, I'm saying it in truth, stating facts here; I am not good. However, I don't care and no one else cares either! I have a great time, I never feel embarrassed, I never feel judged, like everyone is there for a good time, radiates positive energy and body positivity. So although I suck, I'm sticking to it, so one day I can climb up that pole and buss it wide open! I have gone fairly consistently at once a week since I started and I have tried four different instructors thus far. I have my favorites, but they are all great and they all have there different styles, techniques and strengths. I always learn something, I always have fun and I always leave feeling like I've had a good workout, not to mention I can always tell I've had a good workout the following day as I'm sore. I'm not gonna lie, the classes aren't cheap and the classes are popular, so you have to sign up for the class you want well in advance (about three weeks). With that said, I think it's worth it and I truly found something I love! Hope to see you on the pole!!!

The owner is extremely unprofessional. Join another studio to save you the trouble of her playing games with your money.

I went to this studio for 7 months when I first moved to the DMV area and have been poling for 2 years in total. Overall, this studio is satisfactory for a one-time deal or short-term fun. But for those of you who are trying to get really good at pole as a sport or art, this place lacks structure and let me break it down for you so you know the full truth. The unlimited classes deal for $125 is probably one of the greatest downfalls of the studio. It sounds great at first because that is significantly cheaper than the other studios around. No other studio in the DMV does unlimited so at first I joined because of that. However there are not enough classes to accommodate for this unlimited feature. Every time you sign up for a class, it's full. And people hog the classes because of how easy it is to not get in. The cancellation policy is extremely lax for a studio that does unlimited as well which leads to people signing up for classes and canceling last minute. Good luck getting into the beginner classes at this studio without signing up a couple of months in advance. Another thing about this studio that disappointed me was the lack of versatility in classes. There are almost no intermediate classes so you go from beginner to advance. And again because of the unlimited feature, there are advanced individuals who take beginner classes-- making the culture in beginner classes very unwelcoming. If you have never taken pole before and see these pole goddesses just inverting and going upside down when the instructor asked you to simply do a pole sit, it sets a very unwelcoming tone for beginners. This leads to another issue I had-- there are no limits or even discouragement for advanced polers to stop taking beginner classes. At my old studio, advanced polers were discouraged from taking beginner classes and people had to test to get into intermediate and advanced classes. At this studio, there are no tests, no rules. It's really just a free for all and the classes have no real guidelines. And because of the lack of structure, the classes lack a true foundational build up. The beginner classes don't have a curriculum and the instructors don't teach you basic things such as how to sit or how to climb consistently. I also see people at this studio have improper form in both climbing and inverting while the instructors never even make a comment to help them fix it-- allowing them to keep taking advanced classes when they have bad form that can lead to injury. Lastly, there's a weird negative culture against spin pole at this studio. There is only one spin pole class and most of the students and even instructors tend to say negative things about spin pole which honestly is just not right because there are many forms of pole dance and spin is one of them that as a pole studio, there should be a culture of embracing all pole styles. Overall, this studio may entice you in the beginning but at the end, you're better off going to a more pricey studio for quality over quantity.

Not sure why there are bad reviews, but I really felt welcome when I first came for trial classes even thought I haven’t done pole for so long! They will let you challenge yourself instead of some studios I went, they don’t let me do trial classes for intermediate classes and forced me to attend their full beginner program which I don’t need to as an experienced poler.

I got a groupon for 5 classes which was a great deal but it was very difficult to get into the pre-requisite intro class. Then, after two weeks of being waitlisted for the intro class I was able to get a spot only to find out that it was cancelled an hour before it started. Very disappointing. I sat in traffic for almost an hour for a cancelled class because the EMAIL was sent around 4:30 for a 6pm class. They gave me a free pass but offered no help getting into another intro class so now it's back to the waitlist....The burlesque teacher Gigi is awesome though and worth a visit even if the pole classes have (trying to signing up/cancelling) not been great.

Okay so grab your group of friends and get your butts in here for a fun workout! Fit 4 Polers was a joy. Our instructor was fantastic. She was friendly and let us pick the type of music we wanted to hear. I attended for a friend's birthday and I'm hooked. You'll feel sexy and clumsy (unless you already had experience), but most of all you'll learn how strong your body is. The workouts require core and arm strength of course. So if you already workout you'll be good. The studio is so cute inside! There are various instructors for each class and that work at different levels. Our instructor was great at teaching basics and intermediate and she also showed us a few advance tricks that guess what? We were about to pull off! Lol Lots of fun and sweat. I'd totally do this again.

BUYER BEWARE: This FIT4Polers location does not honor their Groupons - false advertising! WORSE: Their website billing page PERMANENTLY captures your credit card info and does not offer you the privilege of deleting your credit card data unlike every other billing site, I have used in the past. I'd purchased a Groupon for 10 classes and learned while auditing my credit card transactions that they charged me $25 each for 2 classes, representing a $50 overpayment. When I contacted Nicole, the manager for resolution she refused to honor the Fit4Polers Groupon that I paid $146 for. In dealing with Nicole, I realized the Groupon scam is something in which is is well versed, apart from her lack of customer service, there is conflicting language in their Groupon Ad and they're using a billing site that does not accept their own Groupon Redemption code. As a new student I am appalled by their business practices. Worse, Nicole refused to delete my credit card information from their billing page, which means they can continue to bill me without my knowledge or approval, in perpetuity. QUESTIONABLE INSTRUCTION: The "beginner's class" that I took does not teach the mechanics. Mostly the class is promoted as "a safe space", a place to "burn calories" and "get away for an hour". If you want to learn pole techniques as a beginner, you're unlikely to get it here. If you want to burn calories, blow off steam or you have already learned the foundational techniques at another studio, it might well be up your alley. That said, I'll be looking elsewhere since I specifically signed up to learn Pole dance techniques - and they cannot deliver effectively on this. Respectfully, their instructor who was often confused and disoriented. She could benefit from a class herself on how to properly teach students on Pole technique. In fact, it was a lot easier for me to understand the mechanics of pole technique from a fellow student than from the instructor.

Ruthie was so great!! My friends and I did a beginners class (it was all of our first times on a pole), and she met us all at our fitness levels and was so encouraging. It was definitely worth the drive over from DC and we’ll be back for her classes.
