“We wanted to make sure that you do not have to share your workout… This way you get to learn a bit quicker and progress more.”

Enjoy your workout with Verticality Pole Fitness, a fitness pole studio in based in Houston, TX; they will help you to transform your previous thoughts about pole dancing into a blended mix of how to stay fit and sexy.

The studio just celebrated their third year anniversary in June and owner Christine Spiro shares with us why she decided to open up her own studio.

“I was living in Chicago, working in the natural gas industry and I would go to the gym and sort of workout, but I wasn’t pushing myself. I thought I was in good shape, but I really wasn’t. I thought something’s gotta give- I tried my first pole class, it was really hard/really fun, and I got hooked,” said Spiro. “When I moved back to Houston, I saw there was nothing out here like what I had in Chicago, so I said, ‘Ok.’”

The difference between Verticality Pole Fitness (VPF) and other studio’s would be the vibes, said Spiro.

“I was looking for something that I had in Chicago…when you think of pole studio’s and pole dancing origins- you think dark, behind closed doors and it’s all very secretive…here it is kind of all out in the open, we are saying it is fitness…yes there are some sexy elements to it and we don’t want to get rid of that, but it’s a very strong workout out, flexible, beautiful dancing workout and it’s fun.”

That’s what we’re trying to do,we’re just trying to make it fun. Make people who typically hate working out, like me- that was me, love coming in; and the ironic thing is all the things you would avoid in a gym- you do willingly here, because you are trying to get to that next level of the pole,” said Spiro.

The all-over body workout perfectly blends dance and gymnastics. The greatest thing about this studio is that it has 13 poles, so attendee’s do not have to share.

“We wanted to make sure that you do not have to share your workout,” said Spiro. “This way you get to learn a bit quicker and progress more.”

Classes at VPF feature a variety of elements to help you reach your next level of fitness, such as the Bellydance class, Pole Fit class and Bend Stretch ‘n’ Flex class and many more for all ages, shapes and sizes.

There are a variety of techniques taught at VPF, such as: strength training, flexibility, grip strength, and having fun!
