Fitness with a Twist is Pittsburgh's original pole dance studio. In fact, we were one of the first five pole studios in the country! Conveniently located in the heart of South Side of Pittsburgh, we are in the business district within walking distance to many shops, restaurants and bars. We pioneered pole dancing for fitness starting in Pittsburgh in 2006 and have always been devoted to enhancing female fitness and confidence.
While most of our students are female, we are an all-inclusive studio and now offer co-ed classes. In 2021, we became Fitness with a Twist 2.0 (fwt 2.0) and have expanded to include a variety of additional fitness and aerial classes like Barre, Zumba, Chair Dance, Twerk, Hip Hop, Conditioning, Stretch, Aerial Yoga and Aerial Hoop (Lyra).

Make the most of your time with one-on-one expert instruction and a full hour dedicated only to you. What should I wear? For pole, form fitting shorts and tank tops are best in order to allow your skin to grip the pole during certain moves. Wearing longer shorts, tops or leggings is not recommended because the fabric will get in the way and can cause you to slide on the pole.

My friends and I did a private party at Fitness With A Twist in Pittsburgh for a girls night out. They were very helping getting everything booked and we had an absolute blast at our class! It was all of our first times trying pole dance, but our instructors made us feel very comfortable. We learned a lot and made some great memories.

I took several years of yoga and due to some physical injuries I was not able to get back into it. However, I had a friend recommend these classes, because they can work with anybody on any level of fitness. Their staff was professional and understanding of my physical shortcomings and able to adjust to my physical level. I am a male, and was a little apprehensive, but don't let their name full you, the classes are just an exciting way to get exercise and in shape. If you want to have a good way to get in shape and have fun, I would recommend Fitness With A Twist to any and all!

I brought my daughter and niece to a newbie class last night and we absolutely loved it! Our teacher was very fun and made us feel so comfortable. Even the other ladies in the class were all supportive of each other. Great workout, fun and clean atmosphere, the instructors are awesome. We already made plans for a private lesson and to attend the weekly classes. So glad we tried them out:)

I absolutely love this place! I started a few weeks ago and was so self conscious but what I walked into was a group of women who were welcoming and empowering. The owner is awesome. Her and the teachers are very professional and skilled. The establishment is very clean and welcoming. It is so fun! They break down the moves so that everyone can do them and they are very personable where they help you if you need extra help. They truly care. They offer so much more than just pole dance too. I want to try chair dance I am just having too much fun in the pole class! Lol. Definitely give this place

I love fitness with a twist! Pole fitness was always something I wanted to do but after coming to just one class I was hooked! Pole fitness is by far the best all over body workout I have found. The instructors and staff are all very knowledgeable and personable. They make the classes fun and make sure everyone feels comfortable.

Anyone who has anything bad to say about this place just doesn’t know what they’re talking about! Been attending a 6-week beginner pole class and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. I have a lot to thank everyone at Fitness With A Twist for! Especially Rachel and Jill ❤️ The talent and support here is out of this world, I couldn’t be getting instructed by anyone better in all of the state!

I've been going here for a few years and just popped on to write this because I'm really enjoying their new classes. The new owners are breathing new life into the place and it's been great. I've taken twerk with Deneese twice so far and it is an absolute blast. The pole instruction is awesome also. Jill is excellent and pushes you to do things you didn't think you could do. She's also very patient and makes you feel comfortable. I also took class with Tink recently. She is so bubbly and fun! I'm definitely taking her class again. I'm honestly baffled at the couple of negative reviews on here and

I have taken several pole classes at Fitness With a Twist, and have loved every single one! All of the instructors are patient, kind, and encouraging and the studio is always clean. They offer a wide variety of classes from Zumba to Twerk to Pole, so there is something for everyone. I am always looking forward to my time there!
