Our Classes
01
Pole
Fit
Each pole fitness class consists of a warm-up, strength conditioning exercises, pole tricks and/or spins instruction, and a cool down. Pole fitness is a full body workout that builds on your fitness, tone, strength, endurance and flexibility. It demands an incredible amount of coordination and balance – learning to control spins, holding your bodyweight in the air, and performing a routine will strengthen muscles throughout your body, including your core strength. It releases endorphins, builds confidence and self-esteem in a warm and supportive community.
Never tried pole before? Sign up for a trial class, exclusively for first timers where we will show you all the basics! For experienced polers looking to join us, check out our “Classes” page for a breakdown on our levels.

Our Studio
The Pole Project was founded by Kathy Lee and born from a desire to teach the passion and spirit of pole dancing as an exciting way to explore the art of the dance, and as a form of exercise to improve fitness, tone, strength and endurance. Since the studio started in February 2014, The Pole Project tribe has grown into an elite collective of strong, fierce and dynamic instructors, consisting of some of the top pole athletes in the country.
Kathy’s vision for the studio, housed in a stunning industrial space, is a magical playground where people from all walks of life can train in pole dance as an outlet for their strength, creativity and agility. There are two studios on the premises, a changing room, shower facilities, a comfortable lounge area and ample secured parking in Buchanan Square.
