I have been taking classes ar Flight Fitness Studio and it has been an awesome. I love my instructor Kendra. She is very knowledgeable and patient with me and my progress as a new pole dancing student! I am spreading my word to everyone around me about how great she is and the studio. You really should try it and I am sure you will love it. ❤

I can’t say enough GREAT Things about FF🤩 I’m taking KENDRA’S Thursday class and Absolutely LOVE It! Kendra is So Patient, Informative, this is all new for me and I feel that I have gained so much confidence and strength that I didn’t know I had. Everyone in class is so supportive of each other, really FUN! AWESOME!!👏

I took a class with Kendra as my instructor and she has been an incredible teacher. Her down to earth attitude makes me feel comfortable and her knowledge has helped me learn new skills quickly. I recommend taking one of her classes.

All of the teachers are awesome but especially Lorie! She’s so much fun and really pushes me to improve. Love the flight fitness family

My sister was saying she wanted to try aerial fitness, and this place came highly recommended. I called to get her a gift certificate for her birthday, their staff was easy to get a hold of and made the process very easy. They were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions when I called. Definitely recommend if you are lookin forward to a last minute gift idea

Ever since starting classes at Flight, I’ve been able to regain confidence in trying new things and rebuild my relationship with exercise. The environment is extremely inclusive and encouraging. The instructors are very accommodating to every students’ need and their comfortability level. Not to mention the strength and muscle growth I’ve seen in just the 4 short months I’ve been taking classes.

Flight fitness studio offers a variety of classes that are very unique and not as prevalent as some exercise classes. I have learned so much in a short amount of time and I feel I’m improving every class. It is so fun and something I look forward to every week!

Flight Fitness Studio is an amazing place to learn and practice pole dancing. Kendra, my instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and super talented and friendly, and she creates such a supportive and welcoming atmosphere for students of all levels.

The studio itself is clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with plenty of poles and other fitness equipment to use during classes. The variety of classes offered is impressive, from beginner-level courses to more advanced workshops and private lessons.

What sets Flight Fitness Studio apart is the emphasis on both fitness and fun. Kendra has been so amazing and makes the classes so fun and challenging and will definitely help you build strength and improve your flexibility, but they're also a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people!

Overall, I highly recommend Flight Fitness Studio to anyone interested in pole dancing or looking for a fun and effective workout. Kendra is seriously top-notch! the facilities are excellent, and the experience is truly unforgettable ask for Kendra you won’t regret it!

I signed up for the Intro to aerial silk class via Groupon. My instructor was amazing-she was so encouraging and so nice! She was very accommodating as well- as my schedule was so hectic that day! I was so happy that I was able to do the things I could during the intro day of class! It was really fun, I felt accomplished and felt that I got a good workout in. I'm really considering and hoping to take the 8-week aerial silk class with the same instructor in the future!

I took the intro pole dancing class. Had fun. Instructor was friendly. I plan on taking more classes.

Flight has been a life saver for me. When I walk in the doors I immediately feel the weight of my day/week lifting from my shoulders. Pole is my healthy stress relief, my amazing work out, my self esteem booster and has truly become my passion. Everyone here has been very accepting, warm and welcoming. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable and even take requests if there is something particular you'd like to learn. My instructor Lori has been my mentor, my cheerleader, my therapist, my friend and has truly driven me to success. I have come so far in my pole journey in a short amount of time. This isn't just a studio I attend, it's my home away from home.

i’ve been taking classes here since Nov. ‘23 and all of the instructors I’ve had classes with are such great teachers. They never push you out of your comfort zone or ask you to learn or do anything you don’t want to. They are extremely patient and will take the time to break a move down completely if it’s not clicking with you. the studio places a big emphasis on strength, safety, and fun!

I take Silks, Lyra, and conditioning classes here and thoroughly enjoy them all. I found it hard to find a Lyra class near me, but was super excited to have one so close at Flight Fitness that works with my schedule. Also I found that the instructors here are great and eager to help you learn any new techniques as it is within reason and safe.

I've been coming to Flight Fitness Studio for over two years now, and I've loved every second of it. The instructors are knowledgeable, personable, and undergo a ton of training in order to prep for teaching. The studio offers a wide variety of classes, ranging from dance-based to strength-based, and it all helps the students prep for more difficult movements later on, and to top it off they are all super fun! FFS is flexible with students, and all around a great place to be. Love this place!

A perfect class designed to explore the freedom of movement! The instructor gave creative options to move through choreography as well as positively encouraging and motivating self love through the whole class!

Did a private party/pole lesson with 4 other people, and we all had an awesome time! The instructor was AMAZING! She had a great attitude and was super flexible with what our group wanted to do and learn. The whole session was productive and fun, and I'm so excited to go back soon. Couldn't be happier with my experience at Flight Fitness!

100% recommend FFS! This is a great environment to try learning aerial silks, lyra, or pole! The instructors are easy-going, very experienced, and super supportive. Lorie has helped me progress a ton with lyra, and has always kept our class fun and safe for everyone. She made each student their own Lyra journaling binder with progressions. I have never had an instructor put as much care and consideration into the progress of each individual student. Michelle (the owner), is a super inspiring small business women. She has created a really empowering community. She is a super passionate polerina, and aerialist. She is always asking us about our experiences, such as what class times work better, or if we are comfortable with the height of the hoops. She even plans parties and performances for the students! I believe, it takes some bravery to go try something so intimidating such as pole, aerial silks, or Lyra. However, this is the perfect studio to start because it is such a supportive and body positive environment.

Flight has been my home studio since 2014. The studio is super clean, equipment is top notch, there is a wide array of classes offered to help improve strength, flexibility, dance and movement. The series levels are set up in a way that aligns with professional pole dance organizations’ categories, so if you’re looking to compete, I recommend taking the series classes. The instructors, both past and present are amazing. They are all committed to teaching and learning, which is so important. Michelle is an expert in her field, she is so technical and I’ve learned so much from her about my body and safely performing advanced tricks. Mahja is a body movement master and can absolutely bring out your sexy as she has mine! The instructors prioritize your safety, comfort and progress. Most of all, the community at Flight is supportive, diverse, encouraging, inclusive, and so fun!

My experience at Flight Firness Studio has been so wonderful that I wanted to take the opportunity to share it with others. The communication regarding class schedules and sign up has been handled with professionalism, consistency, and thoughtful follow- through before and during my class sessions.
Though the type of excersise and dance provided by the studio staff, seems that it might not be a fit for older clientele, especially someone with not much experience or in the best shape, the instructors tailored the classes to meet my level and physical needs. Every one of my concerns and questions before and during my class sessions has been answered with encouragement and solutions that made me feel part of the class and gave me the confidence and courage to contine to participate.
I live in Palatine and was not aware of this Studio until I did a website search but it was worth the effort and truly a gem I hope others will take advantage of.
Thanks to the Flight Fight Fitness instructors for making me feel so welcomed and my excersise/dance experience so meaningful and fun!
