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.

I decided to take a private class since I wanted to try it out without being intimidated by a full class. I took a class with Jamie, who was amazing. She had reached out to me before the class to find out more about what I was hoping to learn. It was the first time trying out pole dancing so she was great in teaching me several beginner moves. She was very supportive and encouraging. The space was great overall. I'm excited to go back and try out their group classes.

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 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.

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!

The instructors are really kind and helpful. They do a great job of explaining the technique and give ample time for beginners like myself to get used to the different moves. Would highly recommend!

I took intro to pole and had a great experience. More focus on warm up than the last two studios I’ve taken classes at, and a fun, high energy instructor who kept the class engaged and challenged

Class was okay, overall turned off by having to share the pole. For an hour class, with fifteen mins of working out and stretching at the beginning, plus splitting pole time and teaching etc., there isn't realistically a lot of time for practice or execution. Plus having to clean the pole in between each use was distasteful and again took time from the workout. would rather go to other studios where they don't overbook and you have your own pole, but maybe that just a me thing

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).

I had intro to pole class with Abby. She is very detail oriented and thorough in teaching how to safely grip the pole and stay in control when doing spins and sits on the pole. Highly recommend!Edit: it's been 1.5 years since I started pole at this studio and I still highly recommend. Great studio to learn beginner level up to advanced safely. Instructors are knowledgeable in physiology, promote safe training practices, and accommodate classes for variety of skillsets. There is also a huge variety of dance and tricks based classes to choose from.
