Classes are fun and instructors are friendly and helpful. If you are in a beginner class, you will most likely be sharing a pole with a stranger.

BEWARE OF THE MONTHLY PASSES! I bought a 3-month pass back in April, for April, May and June. After it should've ended, my card was also charged for July. I called Patty and cancelled my membership, and got refunded. In August, my card was charged again, despite already cancelling. So I called again, cancelled my membership again, and asked for another refund. Come September, my card was charged AGAIN. Despite calling and cancelling multiple times, they will not stop charging me for a pass that ended 3 months ago.

It was a fun learning experience and a good workout! Only reason that I give 4 out of 5 stars though sadly is that my instructor at one point visibly showed frustration and impatience with me when I couldn't quickly perform a correct movement and had to retry multiple attempts, which made me feel somewhat uncomfortable and embarrassed. I signed up for the beginner class for the first time, and I have past lung surgery ailments that keep me from limited movement as well, which might take me a minute or two longer for me to understand and perfect safely. She was overall great though when I never made any mistakes or caught on easily. I might be the outlier of someone who may struggle in a beginner class, so I think most people going here will feel comfortable and have fun.

I booked a private group session for my sister’s bachelorette party and it was a great experience! Patty (the owner) was amazing to work with as she adjusted to a beginner level, coordinated music to our theme, and is overall an AMAZING instructor. Plus, it’s affordable! 10/10 recommend for anyone interested in pole dancing in general, or for a party. SO MUCH FUN!

I have been a member of Pole Appeal for 3 years now. Love Patty and the community she has made! Lexi and Alex know how to push people to their max, and Patty’s endless enthusiasm and positivity shine through her teaching style. I leave class happy and energetic from time well spent. Using MINDBODYFITNESS app makes scheduling, canceling, paying etc so easy! I tried most pole studios in the city finding the right one, the energy and welcoming atmosphere at Pole Appeal really stuck out and here I am now, still going strong!

Patty taught a private class for my friend’s bachelorette party, and it was AMAZING! She was so accommodating and made everyone feel welcome. We had a big group (17 people!) and still had plenty of space. Patty’s choreography had something for everyone and was a good mix of a couple tricks on the pole plus fun moves off the pole. She even recorded the dance in three groups at the end so that everyone could be in it. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience and highly recommend booking for a private party!

We took a private class with Patty for my best friend's bachelorette party. Not only was she a great instructor but she made everyone feel welcome and included. She was even kind enough to allow us to bring in some festive décor to make it extra special and had no problem helping us take photos and videos to memorialize our experience! Thank you Patty!!!

Patty was amazing!! We came in on weekend and that’s when she does most of her classes! We did a private group session and it was very very good. I would 100% do this again. I felt very comfortable and just loved it way too much!

This was such a good experience. I was so nervous to take a class and Patty made my friends and I (went for a birthday party) feel so comfortable and empowered. She was not only a great teacher but was so supportive and made sure we all had a great time! Could not recommend more :)

LOVE this studio! All of the instructors are amazing and welcoming and I’ve found a pole family here. The classes help you learn and grow safely. It’s such an encouraging atmosphere and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Love the balance of pole styles and the availability of non-pole classes to support the pole journey.
