The Vertitude L.A. - Pole : Aerial : Fitness 8511 Canoga Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 91304

"I took my first class here second pole class ever yesterday and it was amazing! The instructor Meggan was a beautiful powerhouse. Her skill and passion came through and I was lucky enough to meet a new friend! Looking forward to coming back soon!"

"So happy to have found this studio! I’ve been taking classes for about a month, and I’m obsessed. Danielle and Meggan are amazing instructors, especially for beginners. I’ve gotten lucky to have my own pole each time I go, although I wouldn’t mind sharing because we learn so much from watching/working with others."

"Hello! I have been poling for a few years. I started with classes at another studio closer to my home. I moved to private instruction during COVID with Meggan Marie at Vertitude. We worked on a piece, and I got silver in PPC After Dark. I resumed classes after at the other studio when restrictions were over. The negative comments Ive read for Vertitude have to do with taking classes, and the same issues are at each studio, especially 2 people sharing a pole. It is more expensive to do one private and open pole instead of classes, but if you're starting to get more specific about your pole goals, you may want to consider a private trainer like Meggan. A year and a half ago I had an injury and couldn't walk for 2 months. It's taken me this long in physical therapy to be able to use my feet normally again. Yesterday, I reentered the athletic world one micro movement at a time with Meggan Marie private instruction. She did an out standing job personalizing to my condition with my physical therapist. I thought we'd just be doing a lot of strength training, but I got to tip my toe in and dance for a bit! It's going to be a new hill of micro movements to achieve to get back where I was, but I feel I am in great hands with Meggan, Danielle, and Corey! Thanks guys!"

"To be honest, I was terrified because of the very divided reviews online. It was either really great or really bad for the most part. My experience was really great! Danielle was a wonderful teacher and had a really fun vibe, especially for beginners. She definitely made a fan out of me – I really didn’t think I was going to enjoy pole but I wanted to try something new. After just one class I really want to be a regular and I hope to condition myself to improve soon. Thanks so much Danielle!"

"I have only taken two classes here and Danielle is an amazing teacher. I had so much fun in her class. That being said, there are some significant layout issues in the studio I have taken classes in (Studio A?). The poles are not staggered, meaning if you don't get a pole in the front row you cannot see yourself dance. Another layout issue is that the mirrors do not go entirely to the floor, so you cannot see yourself do floorwork very well. My biggest issue with The Vertitude is the overbooking of their classes. There are 10 available student poles, but The Vertitude allows 12 students to book. This often leads to 2 pairs of 2 (4 students) having to share poles, despite them paying the same price as those who do not have to share. Returning students seem to know not to book a class if there are two spots available, new students must learn this during their first class. It's not fun to have to fight for a pole, and to potentially get half the class for the price of a full class. If the layout issues were remedied and the overbooking ended, I would absolutely come back for the fun choreography and fantastic teaching."
