Hands down my favouritest place in Somerville! I’ve been coming here week after week for a year now and watched by body transform and my heart grow under the kind tender care of the pole instructors here. They are warm, welcoming and go above and beyond as teachers! It’s a business that is really mindful of the smallest details, inclusive and really committed to sharing it’s lineage of passion!

Great instructors. If you park at Somerville def arrive early as street parking is a nightmare. I’ve been here 3 times and will definitely make it a part of my routine. The studio is organized and clean. The instructors really take the time to help you and always reassure you that it takes practice.

I had a great time at my Intro to Pole class with Fly Together Fitness!! The instructor was very kind and encouraging, and I had a lot of fun learning beginner movements. I can't wait to go back to another class!

Super fun and empowering time at Fly Together Fitness! The instructors are nice, kind, patient and fun. They work hard with students to ensure students' success in learning and in having a great time! I like the separation into levels, I think it is done appropriately to maximize student's growth. Definitely recommend it!

Tldr: rude communication, crowded, need to share the pole, no parking

I bought the intro package for 3 classes in this studio. I went to two which were quite decent. Flexibility, introduction to sensual movement. I was very excited about my first real pole class. However, everything went pretty bad. I made my reservation as one of the first class participants, I came on time. However, when I entered, there was six poles and six people, so I was left feeling like an outsider. Teacher did not even pay attention when I entered and did not help me to navigate this uncomfortable situation. Then, I did the warmup and the exercises on pole started… everyone needed to repeat what teacher is showing and it was dance movement, so everyone was doing it with a pole while I was just standing and watching. Again, teacher did nothing to facilitate the pole sharing. I felt very out of place and I started to get ready to leave. The teacher asked what’s happening and I told that I don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable by sharing the pole. And the teacher answered a very rude thing: “what can I say? Hope you come another time”. Really? Instead of trying to help me and facilitate the pole sharing process, she just ignored me for the whole warmup and then said this rude thing not trying to help me.

I think that this pole sharing is a weird concept. First of all, they do not communicate it upfront and for me it is an important factor. Second, why someone has half the time on the pole than the other person? We paid the same, and not very little money and we all deserve the same. I did not want not only to put myself into this, but I felt bad for the other person who will lack the quality exercise time. They have 11 people maximum count for the small classroom with just 6 poles. That’s ridiculous. And the last thing, not everyone is comfortable to touch the pole that was just touched by someone feet.

When I reached out to them to ask for some compassion regarding the situation, they ignored for 3 days and then sarcastically replied to me in the way: you knew you might have share a pole and even if we give you a class credit, you need to be prepared to share last time. That’s how they deal with customer dissatisfaction.

The classes again are not very cheap, the studio is small, there is no parking (street parking is super limited and far away). I would not recommend this place because they are not committed to address customer’s concerns.

Awesome intro class with Quinn today. They taught a phenomenal foundation, with a great warm up. They spotted me so I could try a new thing. They caught me when I lost control, and gently guided me to the floor. Thanks for saving me from falling, giving us a great work out, and fun new moves!

I just had a Pole 1 class with Jillian and she is just a goddess. It was so much fun yet informative. She explained the foundations and gave us the right amount of conditioning so we could improve what we’ve been working on. 10/10.

How are you supposed to review your favorite place?

I've been coming to Fly Together Fitness Somerville since July 2021. Since then I've done several public performances, learned a ton of moves, and discovered a great community.

More than anything, I feel safe learning at Fly Together Fitness. I feel safe being there as a man, knowing I'm in a room that welcomes all kinds of people and bodies. I feel safe learning advanced techniques and combos because the studio instructors are so skilled and safety-conscious. I feel safe expressing myself and bringing my own style to pole, because the community here is so supportive.

I've taken classes at a dozen studios around the world, and I can say that Fly Together has the best curriculum to take a student from their first class up to accomplishing the hardest technical tricks. The studio has structured levels, with a specific move list for each one, so that every student in a class has a solid foundation for the techniques to come.

The instructors aren't afraid to push you, but every move is shown with modifications and alternatives, so that everyone can make progress from where they're at. There are conditioning and flexibility classes to help students develop the capacity for more difficult tricks, as well as flow and choreography classes that help you squeeze the most expression out of your dance routine.

Did I mention that the studio has public performances, a choreography-writing class for those who want to improve their competition or showcase pieces, and social pole-jams throughout the year?

If you've been thinking of trying pole, or you're a veteran looking for a new studio to call home, I cannot recommend Fly Together Fitness enough.

Classes here are awesome, all the instructors are so knowledgeable and friendly. They are good at making modifications, pointers, and conditioning exercises to help me work towards the moves I want even starting as a beginner with no athletic experience. Through pole at FTF, I have seen myself growl stronger and more confident in my body and strength!

I've been going to FTF for almost two years. I was really nervous about getting started as I had a little experience with pole previously, but generally I am very inflexible and can't dance to save my life. The studio is really welcoming, the classes are great, and it's been really affirming to watch myself slowly get better over time. The instructors are great at challenging the students while also providing support and specific feedback.

Brittany provided an amazing private pole dancing class for my bachelorette. She broke every step down and was so patient and kind which made it so fun for my friends and I!

Took the community intro to pole class, and not only do I love their commitment to making pole dancing accessible, Abby was an absolutely amazing instructor. She was so encouraging and broke down each move in a way that was so easy to understand. I dragged my wife along and didn't expect her to enjoy the class so much too, and now we are planning on signing up for more classes. Highly, highly recommend!

I was visiting from out of town and took Level 4 with Quinn! Such a great class. Quinn broke down all the moves and gave me awesome prep for twisted grip handsprings. I am looking forward to continuing to work on class content. The other students were very friendly and welcoming. I would take this class again (and likely will).

For all classes I’ve been to, the instructors are knowledgeable and truly care about you and your progress. They have kept the studio meticulously clean and spaced out for Covid. My favorite thing about this studio is the way they make everyone feel welcome, which is, in my opinion, one of the most important things a pole studio can do. Classes are always challenging and exciting. I’ve been to pole studios in Boston and other cities, and I truly believe we are lucky to have this place in our community!

Vibe/esthetic- 5 everything was so clean and contemporary and cool vibes.
Poles- 5 poles were high enough I can do dramatics and I felt so secure and safe, no wobbles.
Instructor- I was thought by most of the instructors at a previous studio but Rachel was attentive and clear. I recommend newbies to go and seasons ones to go back and polish your skills.
