The welcoming instructors at Sacramento Pole Fitness guide students of all experience levels through fun, sweat-inducing sessions of vertical acrobatics. In private, fitness-based classes, the teachers meet students in one-on-one sessions to help refine techniques, teach basic and intermediate moves, or perfect fireman escapes. With five-class passes, dancers have the freedom to try several different sessions. The Pole Orientation class begins with critical safety information before moving on to hands-on trials. Test out a variety of spins, climbs, twirls, and floor work in the Pole Passion class, which preps students to perform tougher cardio workouts and navigate a ropes course made of feather boas in the more advanced Pole Fitness class. Students never have to share poles, which vary in length up to 12 feet and by manufacturer, allowing dancers to test different poles.

For a well-rounded fitness resumé, the studio also teaches chair dancing, yoga, and Zumba. Up to 10 friends can jointly partake in a pole party, during which lights and dynamic music take over the studio; additional guests can join in for a $15 fee per person. The poles—like old junior-high diaries pinned with pieces of a crush’s half-eaten sandwich—are never shared, ensuring that classes are as germ-free as they are pulse raising.
