POLE FITNESS is an excellent way to build full-body strength. We offer classes in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. We also offer two stylized dance classes that focus on choreography and sensual movement. All of our classes begin with a warm-up for full-body strengthening and flexibility. Students spend the remainder of class learning pole tricks individually tailored to each student's level of experience. Whether you are a seasoned poler or you just want to try something new, we have a class to fit your level.
Come try your first class for only $10!
Beginner level 1 classes place additional emphasis on strength and flexibility conditioning to help you gain the strength needed for basic pole spins and tricks. Level 1 focuses on basic climbs, spins, and beginner combos.
Beginner level 2 focuses on building upon the basics as well as executing techniques and mastering control on the spinning pole, basic inversions, and building your strength to prepare you for intermediate level challenges. It is recommended that you are able to climb the pole and have a strong basic tuck before moving to level 2 classes.
Mixed-Level classes are designed to accommodate all levels. The instructor modifies moves to fit each students' level, ranging from beginner to advanced. The class focuses on building strength and flexibility to help you reach your pole goals. Students advance at their own desired pace, based on current experience and fitness level.
Advanced Pole Tricks is designed for the intermediate-to-advanced pole student looking for a challenge. Students work on inverted and upright tricks with only two to three points of contact. It is strongly recommended that you are able to invert and hold basic inverted tricks before moving into advanced level classes.
Pole Passion is all about the sensual flow of pole dance. The class begins with a sensual warmup, letting the music move our body, while focusing on body and hip rolls. For the bulk of the class students learn a small choreographed routine focused on transitioning 3-4 spins and tricks together. The choreography is broken down piece by piece and students are given time to practice each spin or trick. At the end of class, students dance the choreography together. It is highly recommended to take at least 1 beginner pole class prior to this class to become familiar with the pole and basic spins and tricks.
In Exotic, emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of Russian-style exotic pole dance. Heel conditioning, basework on both static and spin pole, tricks focused on leg waves, and floorwork are just some of the basics that will be explored in class. This class is suited for all levels. Heels and kneepads are a must!
Power Pole is designed to build the strength necessary for executing intermediate to advanced pole holds and transitions as well as correct technique of various pole grips. This is an intermediate to advanced level class focusing on inverted tricks with 2 to 3 points of contact.

Tori has been dancing for 22 years and is thrilled to be working with Be Fitness. She has trained in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, Contemporary, Hip Hop, and Musical Theater. Tori has a BA degree in Dance from Slippery Rock University and is currently teaching and performing all over the Cleveland area. Tori started her pole journey at Be Fitness in 2015 and has loved combining her classical dance training with this amazing and unique art form.
One of the things Tori loves most about dance and pole is that they allow a freedom of expression through movement when words aren't quite right. She wants her students to feel like they can express themselves and move through a sense of poise and grace while still building technical skills that can be used in all dance forms.

Janice’s pole style is focused on strength and tricks. She started doing pole 3 years ago in April of 2014 and has been teaching since 2016. She started pole about six months after she lost her eight-year-old son due to complications from cerebral palsy. It was the start of the healing process for her. After spending months in bed, unable to function, she decided to try pole dance. It was the first hour in six months that she was not lost in grief; she had to focus so hard on what she was doing and couldn’t think about her loss. Little by little, pole strengthened her physically and mentally. She hopes to give her students that same sense of empowerment, confidence, and an inner strength that will carry people through hard times.
Outside of Be Fitness, Janice loves to run and travel. She has participated in a few triathlons and marathons. She also loves to spend time with her husband and beautiful children.

Erin doesn’t like to label her pole style but, if she had to, she’d call it sassy — a little too awkward to say it's sexy, but her playful/flirty side definitely comes through. She tends to incorporate more strength based tricks, but she’s also been working on adding more fluidity to her movements.
Erin believes that exercise should be FUN and she likes to bring that energy to her classes. We each have our own unique abilities and strengths and she tries to nourish that in her students. She hopes that her students leave class feeling empowered to pursue their goals on and off the pole.
Erin has been a pole student since 2013 and started teaching pole in May of 2017. She is an ACE certified group fitness instructor and has specialty certifications in FXP Hula Hoop and POUND, which she has been teaching since 2015. Erin started her fitness journey by taking Zumba classes. She had read research studies suggesting that physical activity can be therapeutic and wanted something to help her deal with some of the emotional baggage that came with her divorce. After about a year of taking Zumba, she learned about pole fitness and was instantly attracted to it because it was so different from anything else she she would normally do. Pole has emboldened her to step outside of her comfort zone so that she can continue to evolve and grow as a person.

Bio coming soon...
Rachael’s pole style is dramatic. She loves to dance to darker song lyrics to show there is grace through life’s toughest times. She started pole because she wanted to exercise in a way that created art. For a long time she struggled with severe depression and with the help of pole she was taken off of medicine and found joy in every aspect of life. Rachael’s favorite thing about pole is the expression of love for one's self. She learned to love herself through depression because of pole. She wants to share that love with her students and hopes that her students feel encouraged in class. She wants them to know that they are capable of amazing things they did not know they could do. Rachael has been doing pole since 2015 and started teaching in the spring of 2017. Her favorite moves are leg hangs and ballerina.
Outside of pole Rachael enjoys knitting, adventuring to new places, trying new foods and working to make others' lives more fulfilling. She also loves to design clothing and studied fashion at the University of Akron.
