North Shore Pole Fitness — Local services in Lawrence

Truly love the studio and the space it creates. I want to see the studio continue to thrive and succeed! Some thoughts to help elevate the experience for students: Diversify teachers, seek instructors that represent the diverse community attending classes. -Provide a transparent curriculum for students to understand their goals to advance to the next level. -Embrace origins of pole and celebrate your individual sensuality! Pole goes beyond fitness; expression comes in all styles of movement. -Encourage teachers to continue their training so they confidently and safely demo new moves for students, inspiring them to continue their training. -Run monthly observations for teachers to ensure the quality and structure of class is consistent across the board. -Rotate teachers through different classes they qualify for. Providing different instructors for the same class type exposes students to alternative instructing styles, perspectives and adds variety to our strength and conditioning.

Hopefully some of the above can come to fruition to help us students enhance our training! Can't wait for my...

I would be so lost without this place and have so much gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of this community. There is really no other workout like the one you get here and there is no other community like the one you...

I walked into Kelly’s class feeling soooo nervous - I am a plus size girl standing at 5’1 and 270ish pounds.

Kelly was AMAZING with providing modifications for me to try. The stretching/warm up was challenging, but doable; the fact that I was able to do most of the stretches serves as a testament to how inclusive the class is. Kelly did not push me to go past my limits, no toxic positivity. She was funny and engaging, there’s definitely a “girl power” aura in class. I got a good workout and was even able to do some spins! As someone who lives a sedentary lifestyle and is trying to make healthy changes, build confidence and connection to their body, and embrace their femininity, I really appreciated my first class at North Shore and will be...
