Raise your hand if you’re ready to say “yes” to yourself.
We hope you raised your hand ;)
Here’s the thing – as women we tend to put ourselves last. We feel guilty if we do anything but, right? It feels like the minute we give ourselves an ounce of attention that we’re letting someone else down.
In our quest to find “balance” in life, we’re constantly left feeling depleted. We lack the zest for things that once lit us up.
As the age old saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup…” And isn’t it so true?!

I started taking classes at Rising Goddess about 10 years ago. I signed up for a pole class because it was something most people wouldn’t expect from me. I needed to do something that was out of my comfort zone. I wasn’t 100% sure after my first class but the instructors and owners were kind and inviting. The foundations classes are appropriately leveled for beginners with no experience necessary. The curriculum helps build strength and confidence. I came back week after week because I could see small amounts of progress. I got stronger. I got more flexible. I got healthier. I made friends. I learned to dance without fear or judgment. Dance like no one is watching. Rising Goddess is like my second home.Class levels are offered from Beginning to Advanced with something for all abilities. The main class offerings are Pole, Hammocks, and Lyra, but they also have a wide variety of fun spin off classes (heels, spin pole, chair, flexibility, general fitness).“The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life takes place.” ― Barbara De Angelis

The connections fostered here and the nurturing environment make it the perfect sanctuary for creativity and self-expression.The curriculum, thoughtfully crafted with every BODY in mind, welcomes complete beginners and ensures that everyone feels included. The instructor team is not just passionate about their craft but also compassionate, creating an atmosphere of encouragement and growth, safely.RGF is more than a dance space; it's a community that has seen me through the highs and lows, offering solace, empowerment, and a place to express myself fully. Grateful beyond words for the transformative impact it has had on my life. 💖✨

Absolute waste of time and money. If you divide the cost of the packs of classes that you can purchase by the number of classes that you get, you get a giant and straight up scam. The price for a "deal" that they have on their website for each class is $30 for a total of ten classes. Hop on over to a completely different place, and their classes go for as little as $20 per class.Dont bother with this sham. They promote all of the wrong things and try to play it off as something that will "free" you and make you "return to your youth" while they blatantly vacuum money out of your pockets for classes that are 80% worthless meditations that nobody really cares about or ever asked for in the first place, on top of movements and tricks that are done one at a time and for some reason take multiple classes to learn. From personal experience, there are far better places if you genuinely want to learn how to actually pole dance and actually progress at your own pace without the extremely cut and dry schedule this place provides. To top it all off, the "body positivity" this place provides is nothing but fake. They consistently talk about all of the things you need to remind yourself in order to "love" yourself and accept yourself for who you are, while simultaneously doing none of that through their classes and creating some extremely rigid and sterile structure that doesnt provide any actual fun and passion that they so desperately try to advertise. If you want a place where middle aged women are "seeking" to find themselves again through perpetuating fake positivity and pointless exercises then this is definitely the place for you.Edit: this place also comes across as them needing to "fix" you or "empower" you and thats the reason why you came there in the first place. Rather than creating an environment where you just have fun and learn for the people that already love themselves, it comes off as this terrible hoobie-eastern medicine therapy session to "relearn" how to love yourself

This is an amazing studio with lots of amenities. 2 studios with 12 poles, 1 aerial studio with hammocks and lyras, and 1 open studio for floor, chair, or other activities not requiring permanent equipment. There's also a full kitchen for parties or member get togethers. It's 45 minutes from my house, which has discouraged me in past years, but I'm so glad I made it in, and I am looking forward to continuing on as a member.

I have been at Rising Goddess Fitness for two years. I started with Lyra/Hoop. I loved it so much I decided to add hammock and pole. In between my regular classes, I have taken their pole and aerial fit classes which has been very beneficial to me as it helps tone, learn control and build muscle. I have taken different types of workshops and movement classes to enhance my practice. Which also all have been very fun! I plan on trying their chair dance in the near future as I hear great things about it. Not only have I gotten stronger physically but mentally as well. Above all, the relationships I have here are ones that I will forever cherish. It is an amazing community and everyone is there to support you and your goals.

I am incredibly grateful for this pole dancing studio - it's been a transformative experience for me thus far! From my very first visit, I felt a warmth and acceptance that made me instantly at ease. The instructors here are not only skilled and knowledgeable, but they also have an amazing ability to connect with students on a personal level.As someone who was initially nervous about trying pole dancing, the supportive atmosphere made a world of difference. The instructors patiently guide you through each step, celebrating every small victory along the way. It's more than just a workout; it's a community that uplifts and encourages.The studio space itself is inviting and comfortable, creating the perfect environment to explore new moves and push your boundaries. No matter your skill level, you're met with understanding and encouragement. Every struggle has been an opportunity to learn. The variety of classes ensures there's always something new to learn and challenges to conquer, I haven't hammock, hopping or chair yet. But one day, I will plan to ;).I've seen remarkable improvements in my strength and confidence since joining. The choreography is both artistic and empowering, allowing you to express yourself freely. What sets this studio apart is the genuine care they have for their students' progress and well-being. The students are also amazing, and have taught me some skills when I'm stuck. I can go on all day, this place is incredibly healing!If you're seeking a place to grow physically and mentally, I can't recommend this studio enough. It's not just about pole dancing; it's about embracing your journey and finding your inner strength.

Discovering Rising Goddess was life changing! Not only did I fall in love with Aerial Hammocks, but I fell in love with myself. There is just something about watching yourself week after week progress, grow, and change. After a few weeks you start to recognize the woman in the mirror is you, and you love how beautiful she is.The structuring of the classes make everything so accessible, even with no prior dance background. The instructors are there to help you through the struggles and celebrate the wins- and EVERYONE CELEBRATES THE WINS! At any given time you can walk through the studio and here all the cheers, claps and celebrations from each class. RGF has become a needed escape and anytime I walk in I feel like I am home. Being part of a community that fully encourages you to discover your authentic self, and just be you is transformational. Words will never fully express how grateful I am to Lauriel and Michelle for creating such a magical place and to the community for helping me see my value again.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this place! I was nervous coming and honestly a little embarrassed to begin with bit they are so welcoming! They are patient and made me feel so comfortable! I am going to get their year membership and I already know it's going to be worth it! Only thing I do recommend more 21+ since there are some alcohol events but it's not everything! I'm 18 and they've been very friendly about that as well!

This is the first aerial/pole studio I ever visited, and my life has not been the same since! What is so special about Rising Goddess is how well they teach new students. They helped me build my foundation of strength and skills that I believe has given me an advantage as a dancer for the past 4 years now. Their instructors excel at providing the guidance a "new poler" needs. If you take a class here, you will absolutely not regret it. They make it fun and offer classes in different styles of dance, so there really is something for everyone here. To say that this studio is like a family would be an understatement. I have friendships from this studio that have lasted years so far. The owners are incredibly responsible and student-focused. If you have any curiosity about learning pole dance or aerial arts, run here as fast as you can!!

Where do I even start with how amazing this space is?!💙 There's something magical about it in every which way. It gives off such a beautiful vibe. ✨️The staff/teachers are super friendly and compassionate. All of the RGF members are super supportive. Everyone is always cheering each other on in the good and the bad moments. It's truly a peaceful space where you can foster not only your talents but overall healthy well-being. There are oil diffusers always going and all types of motivational pictures hanging throughout the studio. I have learned so much about Lyra, but also about myself. Thank you, Rising Goddess, for everything in this past little over a year. Grateful to have come across this studio.💜💙💜

I cannot say enough good things about RGF! I first began so nervous and hesitant, but now I look forward to all of my classes during the week. Since joining RGF, my strength has improved, but so has my confidence and mental health. I leave class so happy and excited to come back. RGF is extremely inclusive and welcoming - it’s truly for everyone and anyone. It’s a unique and wonderful community that you won’t regret joining.

Signing up with Rising Goddess Fitness is the best decision I've ever made! There are not too many places an adult can try a new physical activity without feeling they started too late in the game. RGF welcomes all newcomers no matter where they are in their fitness journey and creates a safe environment to explore talents you may not have known you had. Every day I walk into this studio, I surprise myself by unleashing new strengths.I'd be crazy not to also mention the friendships and sense of community you build along the way. The girls at this studio are genuinely welcoming, inspiring, and motivating, celebrating every victory with you no matter how big or small. Over the past 2 years, this studio has become my home away from home. I 100% say go for it if you are hesitant about signing up.

This place is so amazing. When I started, I was very out of shape. I had been working from home for a few years and never exercised because I would get bored after 5 mins. Everyone from the instructors to the owners to your classmates are so supportive and welcoming! I was so self conscious when I started but no one judged me and I fell in love with the classes! I’m in so much better shape now and I’m never bored! I actually get sad when I have to miss a class! Highly recommended!

This studio is absolutely amazing. I’ve been coming here for over three years now for pole fitness and aerial hoop (lyra). Though I spent four years at another studio in the beginning, it wasn’t until I came here that I actually started to grow and become better skill-wise. They have a great variety of classes for beginner through advanced level students. The owners are incredibly passionate about the business and students are always a number one priority. I would highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to start or continue their aerial fitness journey.
