Pole Fitness Seattle

Great place for a fun workout! The instructors know what they’re doing, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

I’ve been meaning to write this for awhile. I’ve been coming here for about half a year now, and have only great things to say. I started with the intro to pole classes, and have been hooked since! I take some pole classes and a lot of Lyra (aerial hoop) classes
All the instructors are really helpful and enthusiastic, and the students are friendly too, which makes for a really welcoming environment. I always have a ton of fun in class and leave feeling better than I came in.
There is a strong emphasis on technique, conditioning, and safety. The classes have proper warm up and cool down and lots of attention to detail from the instructors. Something I was worried about when starting was if my prior knee injuries would be an issue. The instructors have worked with me and other students to modify moves and stretches so it is accessible for different fitness and skill levels. In flexibility class, we are taught how to stretch safely, and there are conditioning classes to help gain strength and minimize risk of injury.
Overall, if you’re on the fence, definitely try it out!

I cannot say enough great things about Pole Fitness Seattle. They offer classes in pole, lyra (a.k.a. hoop), burlesque, aerial hammock, conditioning… The list goes on. Absolutely every instructor is highly skilled, professional and fun. They always have something positive and encouraging to say, which is really helpful in keeping me motivated. I love the membership pricing options. If you are looking for a safe, supportive environment that can get you in the best shape of your life, look no further!

Re: Aerial yoga.
This class is a joke. Half of the silks were not tied appropriately (tied for trapeze work), so all of the positions were incredibly uncomfortable bc you have a giant knot of fabric in your spine! Half of the positions weren’t even feasible bc of that. End of class arrives and «oh some of you will have to do shavasana on the floor bc the silks aren’t tied right» I did not come to aerial yoga to do shavasana on the floor. If I had paid for this class instead of gone with fitmob I would be requesting a full refund. So unprofessional!!!

I want to emphasize that this review is about the total experience of this studio. I took the intro to pole series here. The instructor, Cynthia, was great, Knowledgable and encouraging. The only thing odd was during the warm-​ups she put the music so loud that nobody could possibly hear her. The classes are usually 10+ people and there are only 6(or 7?) poles, so you usually have to wait for a turn. I’m sure in other classes people get their own poles because they’re smaller. It might be nice to have more classes and limit the classes to the number of poles there are.
The studio is also in a bizarre location under the freeway so it gets loud and almost shakes from the cars. Again– the instruction is great!

I’m smiling as I write this because it makes me happy thinking about it. It’s so much fun! I feel like a little kid playing at the playground.
I’ve just finished the beginner classes and can now move onto the more advanced classes. I really love how the instructors break down each movement and are willing to help each student out if they have a hard time getting it. At the end of the beginner drop-​in classes the instructor will do a dance for the group to show them how far pole fitness can get them and it is quite impressive. The spins, climbing, hanging upside, looking all hot and sexy, makes each and every girl want to get to that level.
Reasons why you should take pole dancing classes here:
–They teach you movements not only on the pole, but on the floor as well, that make you look and feel sexy! Meow! Purrrrr…
— It is a good workout. I can see the abs and arm muscles on these veteran chicks.
— There are many varieties of classes you can take including an aerial yoga class which was also fun.
— It is a great way to turn your man on and keep him out of the strip clubs. Maybe.
–You never know when you’re gonna go broke so if a time ever comes when you do, you got some skills to go make that money money money…
It is conveniently located on Airport Way at Holgate St across from the Office Depot. The building is right next to the freeway so it is quite loud, but no fret, once they blast the music and you’re in your zone, you wouldn’t even notice the noise. They have limited parking and most times you should be able to find a spot. I understand time flies when you’re having fun so sometimes classes run past the hour so students for the next class may arrive and there won’t be any parking, and class will start a little late. I think you can park in the Office Depot lot though.
All in all, love the laid back personalities of the instructors and will continue to come here and bring sexiness to my life.

Ever since I purchased the Groupon in March, I’ve been hooked! (ha, HA!) From the Intro Series, which was two classes a week for four weeks, to Intermediate I, it’s been a blast. All the teachers are super friendly and very encouraging. I wish I had more time to go regularly. I’ve seen my former classmates do amazing things. I can’t wait to go back and try other classes like Aerial Yoga, Burlesque and other dancing classes like Twerk, Santa Baby (holiday themed), Chair, Heels, etc.

I’ve been attending here for several weeks now. I started with a StrangerPerks deal for the intro series (4 weeks, 1 hr per week, teaches you basic spins, holds, and floorwork) then gradually «leveled up» through their system. For example, you have to do the beginner series before you can start the Intermediate classes. You also need to take a workshop on inversions before attending the Inversions 101 classes. This all makes it absolutely clear that you have the basic moves down before advancing to the next level and keeps you safe from injury. I really like this system, but I’m also a to-​do list/​check box kind of person so it may just play to my most comforting habits :)
There’s a nice mix each week of intermediate, inversions, and other open classes that you can start to attend post-​beginner series. Some classes are women-​only, some are coed. There are classes where you should wear heels, and some where you can go barefoot. Some classes build strength, others build flexibility, while most of them include at least some technique if not have that as the focus.
My favorite classes so far have been Creative Flow and the Power Pole Conditioning (technique and strength, there!) since they’ve helped me get past a fitness plateau I had reached with my previous routine (which was primarily yoga). I also like the Stretch & Flexibility class because I’m really trying to get into a splits, lately.
In the time since I started attending about 3 months ago, they’ve added weekend classes and expanded their overall class offerings, so it seems like they’re doing well for themselves! They just bought some air conditioning units, which will really help during this heat wave. I also heard that the studio will be getting larger soon, and expanding to some aerial hammocks for flexibility and restoration type classes. All in all, this is a great place to attend. All of the teachers have unique styles but adhere to the safe and sane curriculum I mentioned in my first paragraph. Everyone is welcoming and makes learning new moves and bodily sensations fun. They also give you good tips on handling the bruising that is inevitable from working with a giant metal object!
I also enjoy the one-​off workshops — Heidi Coker was my favorite teacher thus far in the workshops, but I’m looking forward to the upcoming workshop on twerking! Talk about stepping outside of my comfort zone in a safe and encouraging environment :)

Pole Fitness Seattle is SO amazing. I started pole two years just as a «oh hey, I’ve always wanted to try it, why not?» and it turned out being a huge part of my life. I love it. It makes me feel strong, empowered, and sexy. I seriously recommend it to any girl. All the people in the classes are so supportive, friendly, and all around great people. Go check it out! You will not regret it.

I was traveling and in Seattle for a few days so I called and scheduled a private lesson with Emily. It was an amazing lesson. She taught me new moves and gave me pointers for cleaning up my spins, as well as pointers for learning to dance. I felt very comfortable from the beginning and Emily was always there and careful to spot me on the inverted moves. Her teaching style was great. She explained things in a clear manner that made following along to moves so easy (this means a lot because I normally cant tell my left hand from my right). The studio is equipped with both static and spin poles all the poles are 45s. Highly recommend this studio for polers of all levels. If you live in the area and are looking for a fun work out this is the place to be.

Eeeek… I’m still so excited I can’t stop talking about last weekend!
For my sister’s 8 gal Bachelorette Party we decided to start the weekend with some early morning Pole classes. Problem is, we couldn’t find a studio that could accommodate our timeline and need for early morning classes. Also, one of my gals is «curvy» and Pole Fitness Seattle was able to accommodate her! (she had a blast, BTW). Emily was fast to respond to my e-​mail via her website and I booked and paid for our party!
The location is a little odd, but once we got inside it was very warm, discrete, and surprisingly comfortable!
Yael was our instructor, and seriously, we all might have girl-​crushes on her! She was just perfect in every way… she warmed us up, made us feel sexy, complimented us, worked with my «curvy» friend, and even gave us a demo of her advanced moves when we were through. We all left absolutely amazed that she just had a baby! Yael is clearly passionate about what she does and it shows!
Needless to say, we all left feeling a little more sexy, a little more confident… and a whole lot SORE :-)
Any plans to open a studio in the Northend? (Lynnwood) We’d be loyal students!

Being not only a new student of Emily’s, but also a bit self-​conscious of my overall body image, I decided to defeat my inhibitions and scope out something beyond hot and sweaty gyms, beyond running, and DEFINITELY beyond a snobby yoga/​pilates studio. I also knew that I wanted to do something that would allow me to be more flexible, stronger, while also giving me a good cardio workout.
I heard about Pole Fitness Seattle from a number of different people, but I was definitely weary because I didn’t want to have to do any kind of performing. To my suprise, when I went to Emily’s website, I found it to be INCREDIBLY professional compared to other sketchy pole fitness sites. Additionally, when I went to call her, she answered the phone like a top-​notch business woman but at the same time was SO friendly. She also reassured me that her private lessons could be done at home and I didn’t even have to have my own pole! With having two kids, this made my life SO easy!
By the end of my first lesson I was eager for MORE! I highly recommend Emily as her style is not only unique, but professional and well-​built on the idea of integrating mind, body, and creativity into something the gives one confidence and empowerment in the end.

I met Emily in Las Vegas during Pole Instructor Certification Class. She has the kindest personality and is a pleasure to be around. She takes students safety very seriously and is a great role model for other Pole Instructors. I recommend any of my students and friends to her if they are in the Seattle area because I know they will be very well taken care of and have a great time! She’s an amazing teacher, very patient and always open to improving her skills as well as supporting her students growth. I wish there were more Pole Instructors out there like her!
