Your workouts don’t have to feel lifeless to work. You can get strong and get upside down at the same time 🙃

With pole fitness, you’re building real strength, mobility, coordination, endurance, and body awareness through actual skill training.

Climbing.

Inverting.

Conditioning.

Learning how to control your body in space.

And somehow (not surprisingly)… it’s way more fun than counting reps in a crowded gym under florescent lights.

If you’ve been craving movement that challenges you and keeps you coming back, this is your sign.

Come get strong with us 🔥

We’re kicking off June the best way we know how… in heels 🔥🌈👠

Join .tits for an all-levels Heels Choreography class focused on flirty floorwork, fluid movement, low flow pole, walks, poses, and the kind of confidence that happens when you stop overthinking and let yourself move.

This class blends fluid movement with performance energy in a space that celebrates expression, individuality, and taking up space exactly as you are.

📸 and as a reminder, this class is getting filmed by our studio videographer for social media, so wear your fave heels 😉

✨ All levels

✨ Stiletto heels encouraged

✨ Knee pads highly recommended

✨ Come ready to sweat a little and feel a lot

Pride Week at Steel & Grace starts here 💋

Heads up, dancers 👀

We’ll be filming classes and capturing studio footage June 1–3 for upcoming social media content.

We’re excited to showcase the strength, artistry, athleticism, community and magic that happens inside these walls every week 💋

If you’d prefer not to be filmed, just let your instructor know when you arrive and we’ll absolutely respect that.

ALSO:
Open Pole on June 2nd will be completely FREE for anyone who wants to come train, dance, hang out, and be part of the filming.

Just be ready for the possibility of ending up on the internet 🔥

The JOY on these faces 😍

The Performance Troupe this year blew us away. And if you saw them perform (it’s on our feed if you want to go see), here’s your reminder: You don’t start here.

You start with shaky spins.
Sore hands and bruises on body parts you din’t know could bruise.
Wondering how everyone else makes it look so easy.

You start by learning how to hold yourself up.
Then how to trust your grip.
Then how to move with control, strength, and intention.

And somewhere along the way you realize your body has become capable of things you never imagined.

That’s what this troupe represents.

Progression over perfection. Positivity in the face of trial (like the poles getting stuck during our performance 😅)

Hours of conditioning.
Missed tricks.
Bruises.
Breakthroughs.
Training your body and your nervous system to keep trying anyway.

These dancers didn’t wake up performers. They became them by training 🔥💪

That transformation is one of our favorite things to witness each year. And right now there are brand new dancers who will perform next year and they don’t even know it yet 😉

If you’ve ever looked at a performer and thought,
“I could never do that…”

Just know: almost every person in this photo once thought the same thing.
