Altitude Pole Fitness & Aerial Arts

Fantastic experience: I've been taking the intro class here for a bit now, and I cannot put into words just how much fun I have had. Tricia is so much fun and incredibly helpful. You can tell that she wants everyone to succeed! She takes the time to come back and help you if you're struggling with a move (or she'll have a second teacher there to assist if the class is super full, so no matter what, you'll get some one-on-one time). As a new mom, please rest assured that you don't have to be a super star athlete to feel like you fit in here, because I definitely am not one.

Fantastic experience: I love Altitude Fitness!!! The pole dance, hip hop, and lyra hoop classes are phenomenal! I've been working out at Altitude since the studio opened and I've never been more in shape in my life. The teachers are so encouraging and helpful, and the other members are inspiring and supportive. Altitude is like my second home and I always leave class happy! :)

Fantastic experience: My home away from home!! This will be a VERY LONG review, so the summary is: I love Altitude and can’t recommend the aerial sling program highly enough! BACKSTORY: I never exercised regularly before starting aerial classes - I had no upper body strength, an extremely weak core, and no muscle definition whatsoever. I have always been highly self-conscious, have cried in many group fitness scenarios, and have never even done a cartwheel. All that to say: I WAS NOT FIT WHEN I STARTED DOING AERIAL. I have become so much stronger than I ever thought I could! I’ve taken at least two classes a week for about six months and I am a different, stronger, more capable person now. I’ve learned to fly! My favorites: - INCREDIBLE INSTRUCTORS: I’ve taken aerial sling classes with Maddy, Danika, and Monica. Each instructor has their own style and energy, but they all exude such warmth and kindness. They pay careful attention to the needs of the class, making sure every person is supported. Every instructor is also extremely skilled - they are a wealth of talent and I feel so honored to learn from them. - BEGINNER-FRIENDLY: The level one classes are so accessible. The instructors are great at breaking the moves down step-by-step. They are happy to assist every student, and often offer personalized coaching if someone is new, afraid, or needs to slow down. It is really interesting to learn the different options and build on them in every class. Of course, there were still moments when I was intimidated or felt very new when I started, but the instructors are well-equipped to help with that. - ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT: One of my favorite things about Altitude is the class environment. We all cheer when someone masters a new move or overcomes a particular challenge. Everyone congratulates each other and we’re all excited to watch each other progress. There is not an environment of competition between students and that allows us all to celebrate each other. It’s a really fantastic, supportive community. ‍♀️ - MONICA: One person at Altitude in particular is my favorite part of the whole place. Monica is a pink-haired fairy whose positive energy infuses every class she teaches. She is funny, inclusive, energetic, and so encouraging. I have taken private lessons with her since July and they genuinely changed my life. She listened to my specific needs and came up with creative ways to guide me. She has helped me overcome my doubts and fears and to trust myself. She has also become a cherished friend along the way. If you ever have the chance to take a class or private lesson with her, I recommend you take it. She’ll sprinkle some magic into your life. ✨ Final Thoughts: I debated about including this part of my review, but I think it could be helpful to some. I began coming to aerial classes as part of a trauma-recovery plan. I won’t go into details, but I will say that doing aerial sling at Altitude has been a huge part of me feeling safe and at home in my body again. If you read that and understand what it means, just know that it could do the same for you. I could probably keep writing about Altitude for many more paragraphs, but I’ll spare us all and end it with this: give it a try, even if you’re scared. It has been the place where I’ve became empowered, strong, and confident. I’m sure all of the programs are great, but I am speaking specifically to my experience in the aerial sling program. I can’t recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: The facility, staff, and member relit the spark in my confidence, strength, and discipline.

Fantastic experience: The staff is always friendly and helpful. And they've also been understanding to last minute cancellations and whatnot. The instructors are really patient and encouraging. I never thought I'd do aerial silks or pole dance before and now I'm addicted and have gained so much self confidence. Fun, friendly, welcoming atmosphere- what more could you want?

Fantastic experience: I have been attending a variety of classes here for over 2 years. All classes are unique and super fun! The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and I learn something new each time I go! I highly recommend this facility!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love altitude fitness! Its a great environment to learn and the instructors are all amazing. I was curious about pole and decided to try it out: and I'm in love! Shoutout to my pole instructor Rayne, she makes the classes super fun and is very encouraging with her feedback. All the classes offered here are super fun and beginner friendly, I'd definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Already posted about you on Instagram. It was the perfect girls night outing for us. And the instructor was super helpful and patient with us, even though it was our first time there and we totally had no idea what we were doing.Thank you!

Fantastic experience: It's a fun way to work out! All the instructors are great and so encouraging. I love coming here to improve my strength and flexibility skills.

Fantastic experience: Please, please please come fly with Altitude Fitness in Frisco! The classes and staff are welcoming, dynamic, challenging, and so much FUN. I always enjoy my time here and appreciate the ways Tricia and other members encourage me to do better, learn more, and test myself. They have a variety of courses in pole and aerial fitness--I have personally tried Aerial Sling and the Aerial Sampler courses; Sling is my favorite, but the Sampler (Lyra Hoop, Sling, and Rope) give you a chance to try out three different apparatuses. If you've ever wanted to get into aerial fitness, this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Fun workout! I'm slowly but surely gaining my upper body strength and core strength taking these classes and I appreciate all the instructors because they are all wonderful here. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Altitude is the best! Everyone is so encouraging and supportive. I’ve learned so much, always get an amazing workout and have made some amazing friends! You won’t regret checking them out!

Fantastic experience: I recently moved back to Texas and started taking pole classes again at Altitude. I trained here about 5 years ago. Fell in love with the aerial world instantly! You don’t have to be Amazing to get started, you just need to take that first step, into the studio. Pole, for me is Empowering! It’s a great workout; challenging and fun! You become in-tune with your body, build self confidence, become strong and flexible and you get your “Sexy Back!!!” The Skilled instructors and other students are beyond supportive. Take a class, it will change your life!

Fantastic experience: 9/31/22 UPDATED REVIEW: Tricia, the owner, reached out to me about a week after my original review and offered me two class passes. I appreciate this, as classes here are a bit pricey (albeit worth it!) She also mentioned that negative feedback is an opportunity to grow, so I do hope to see positive changes in the future. (She also made it clear that she was not asking me to change my review, this was my decision) I am leaving my original review below, for reference, but I do want say that if you are interested in taking aerial arts classes this is an amazing place to do so. The instructors are friendly, the environment is clean, and everyone is very welcoming, no matter your age, ability level, background, etc. I really do enjoy my time at the studio. Original 2-star review (9/8/22): Up until today, I would have given Altitude 5 stars. I would like to start by saying that the aerial silk and hammock classes I've attended have been absolutely wonderful. Today, was a different story. I was signed up for the aerial hoop (lyra) class, and I feel there were multiple failures of policy and planning from the studio. I left my residence with enough time to be 20 minutes early, the forecast showed overcast and chance of light rain. It ended up being hail and heavy rain, so much so that no one could see the road and cars were being blown off the road. I pulled over to wait out the storm as it was unsafe to drive and called the studio. I was told if I couldn't arrive within 5 minutes of the start time I wouldn't be admitted, which I understand since it is for safety. However, I asked if I could get my pass back and was denied. This wouldn't bother me so much except when I showed up there weren't enough hoops for everyone to have one. Another lady and myself did not have a hoop, and as an introvert I didn't feel comfortable asking another paying student to give up their hoop for me to use/share. So, some sharing took place, but it's hard to have time to practice skills 2-3 times when 2 or 3 people are sharing one hoop. Overall, I got maybe 10 minutes on the hoop. I am disappointed they would book more people for this class than available hoops, especially as a beginner "friendly" class. I didn't get a workout, I honestly don't think I even sweat. I didn't get to learn anything, and I feel like I wasted the $30 pass on top of risking my safety to get there. I feel like I should have been offered my pass back when I called due to weather since there were more people than hoops anyways. I don't want to hold a grudge, I will be back since I have more passes and do love some of the instructors, but I honestly feel upset that I wasted my time and money for a 10-minute "workout"/"lesson." I hope to hear from management or the owner to work this out because I would like to stay with Altitude long-term.

Fantastic experience: I had never taken a pole/ aerial fitness class before this but the instructors made me feel so comfortable with the pole/ hammock and made it feel easy and inspired me to come back and practice. The general atmosphere of this place also made me feel more confident

Fantastic experience: Amazing showcase! The place was so cool and everybody performances were so well done! I came to watch one of my friends. The instructors were so nice too. It makes me want to join a class! I was so impressed by how strong all of the performers were.

Fantastic experience: Love coming to Altitude Aerial Arts!!! Rachel, Chelsea, Revol and Tricia have always taken care of me. ❤️ The pole classes are amazing whether it is choreography or skills class. I gain something new each class, and I enjoy catching up with my pole friends. Even as a working mom, I still make time for pole.

Fantastic experience: I love this studio so much! I love aerial arts and pole classes as well. Getting the membership let you to pick any class you want. The atmosphere is amazing and the stuff is very friendly and professional. Since I’ve started a month ago I already see the results, my upper body and my arms get much more stronger Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The POLE Level 1 class with Chelsea was very beginner friendly, and you could go at your own pace when it came to advancing the moves. Chelsea is a great instructor. She gives feedback to help with your technique and is very encouraging. The class was a blast; I'll definitely be back!!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for almost 3 months and have fallen in love with Altitude. The instructors make you feel safe and comfortable! I am also a bigger girl (with strong legs, no arms or core) and have only felt support and community here. I love this place and recommend it to everyone I can. My best friend has even started a weekly lesson here with me (and other friends have already asked if I could join them for their first time!). But don't be afraid to show up alone, these folks are great.

Fantastic experience: Revol and Chelsea who i had classes with were so knowledgeable and not judgemental at all. Loved it! I feel stronger already. If you weren't sure if you can do a Pole class, trust me you can do it! I'm over 200lbs and still managed to do most of the skills because they train really well!

Fantastic experience: It's a great place to try something new. Loved the introduction sampler Ariel class. Instructor were very helpful in directing you. Definitely will be back

Fantastic experience: Cesar was a great instructor he really helped and made me and my friends feel comfortable starting a new class. He went step by step with each move and made sure to really give his full attention to each student. Will be coming back.

Fantastic experience: Very beginner-friendly, non-judgemental atmosphere. It was my first time, yet I came away learning a 1-2 minute routine and feeling super sexy Will come by again for sure!

Fantastic experience: Instructor/owner Tricia is thorough in her teaching as well as keeping the studio clean and efficient. Her safety standards for every client that walks through the door is top notch! Best studio in DFW!

Fantastic experience: I suggest trying their new client special. It’s 2 classes for $30 and they have a variety of classes to choose from. I chose to take their aerial silk yoga class, and I fell in love with it! I had Alyssa as my instructor and she gave us different techniques to approach it. You don’t need a lot of upper body strength, but you do need some flexibility! 100% worth trying! I can’t wait to take more classes!

Fantastic experience: So I decided to go out of the norm for our girls night out. Got my girls together, asked who’s in for a pole dancing class? All said “I.” Never would of thought we’d enjoy it soooo very much! It was absolutely GREAT. Mrs. Toy, the instructor was AMAZING! Her grace on that pole was nothing more then electrifying. She was so sweet & patient but sexy all at the same time. The facility was clean, chic with complete w/ elegance. We definitely will be returning soon-that’s 4 sure. Thank you, Mrs. Toy for making me feel beautiful on a Friday night!

Fantastic experience: Altitude is incredible! I love the pole classes. I started as a true beginner in level one almost a year ago, and now I'm a level 4! I take 2 sometimes 3 classes a week so I have a memembership that works well for me! All the instructors are fantastic teachers and oh so talented. I've loved all my time here this past year and I can't wait for the next one! I highly encourage private lessons! I take them with Maddi and she’s an such an awesome teacher and always ensures I’m successful in our sessions.

Fantastic experience: I'm completely obsessed with this place - and what makes it are the instructors. Every single person I've taken a class with (Chelsea, Rachel, Jessalyn, Tricia, Revol) is incredibly qualified and warm from the start. The studio is thoughtful about progressing through the levels at an individual's own pace. Each leveled class is appropriately challenging and instructors are always supportive for where a student is at (often giving modifications, or extensions, depending!). I always feel welcome (even when I come to a heels class in bare feet!) and have been so glad to find an environment where I can express myself and connect with a community of strong compassionate people.

Fantastic experience: I was extremely hesitant to take a pole class because 1. I'm bigger and 2. I'm almost 40. I finally decided to bite the bullet and do it or risk the regret of never trying. I'm so glad I did!!! The whole experience was comfortable and positive. Rachel was an awesome instructor and I can't wait to come back!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Altitude have created an environment that is open, friendly, and welcoming. After every class, I have felt some sort of camaraderie with other class members and with the teachers, plus I always leave feeling like I accomplished something. I had first bought their special for 4 classes/$49 so I could try the different mediums of aerial arts, and then I moved onto buying a package. I appreciate that they offer a variety of classes at different levels, so everyone has the opportunity to try out what they like. I have attempted silks, silk hammock, pole, and the flexibility classes - and I am a fan! They are all equally challenging and rewarding. I highly recommend for your first silk hammock class, to sign up with Dahlia. She is a great instructor, explains moves thoroughly and is a boss babe. For flexibility, Kate is your girl. Sunday morning classes with her will kickstart the rest of your week. I had been wanting to try these types of classes before, and was too chicken or too ‘busy’ to do so, and I’m very happy I changed my mindset because this little studio always makes my day.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to workout, I love their Aerial classes and their pole fitness classes. The coaches are so encouraging, great for first time students. I recommend everyone try a few coaches and a few kinds of classes, there really is "something for everyone".

Fantastic experience: I have 2 daughters (16 and 20) who love to take classes here. They have both gained impressive skills and strength; more importantly, they feel comfortable and happy here. As far as I can tell (and I've been monitoring for years), the instructors are all fabulous, and the owner (Tricia) runs the studio the right way-- treating customers well and fostering an environment of mutual respect for all. Top kudos to Altitude Frisco! :-)

Fantastic experience: Caroline was an amazing instructor. I felt challenged and accomplished throughout her class. She was great at making sure everybody got help and felt comfortable doing different moves. Will definitely take more of her level 3/4 classes.

Fantastic experience: Love altitude! Great, fun , unique place to work out. Trisha is owner, sweet girl and I specially like Dahlia instructor , try one of her classes yoga or hammock , great energy , definitely coming back many more times .

Fantastic experience: This place will literally change your life. I’ve been a gym rat my whole life and it just got boring so I came here to spice things up and I haven’t looked back. The owner, Tricia, is the kindest person you will ever meet. She treats every single person like they are special and she makes you feel comfortable in a very intimating (your first time) environment. I mean you walk in and see these things hanging from the ceiling and you are like oh my goodness what did I get myself into! But they make you feel welcome and everyone is so supportive. I finally found my people. No one judges and there are no cliques everyone just cheers you on ❤️ Not to mention you’re having a blast while you’re getting in the best shape of your life! I’m so very thankful for Altitude!!!! ❤️ Love you guys!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this place. Everyone who teaches and attends are so nice and welcoming. They are also supportive of you even if you are struggling with any moves. I just finished up my new client special 4 class pass and I cannot wait to become a member!

Fantastic experience: I have only been here once after they came to the store I worked. I have tried aerial yoga and pole fitness with them, AMAZING! Forget a local gym. The owner is talented, knowledgeable, and such a good teacher. The classes are so worth it. I plan on being a regular when I can budget for a fitness place.

Fantastic experience: I have been wanting to trying aerial fitness for so long but I was so scared of being judged for having no experience and was really nervous. I got my 4 classes for $49 here and after my first pole class with Amy I want to be here every day! Amy, Alissa, Dawn, and Cesar are amazing, patient, and caring teachers and everyone from the staff to the students is so friendly and the atmosphere is light and non-judgmental. Every class is so much fun you can forget it's a workout until you're sweating. My only regret is not starting sooner.

Fantastic experience: I love going to Altitude Aerials Arts. I started going there for Aerial Yoga about a year and a half ago and then starting going for Aerial Hammock and Silks about 3 months ago. The instructors are always great. They are supportive and willing to work with you, whatever level you are at. I go 2-3 times a week now and love the fact that I get a workout, while challenging myself to learn something new and get outside my comfort zone. The progress I see overtime, is also very rewarding.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to altitude for about 4 months now, and everyone there has been so incredibly supportive and patient! As a larger woman, I was really unsure about my ability to succeed in these classes, but Kenda-Le has helped me gain confidence and to push my own ideas of my limits. I have never been in such a caring and supportive environment, both staff and participants really truly care about each other and celebrate everyone’s successes. I can not recommend this studio enough!

Fantastic experience: I love the intimacy of the studio. Tricia and Blaire were very welcoming and helpful in getting me started. I am no longer a young lady who can flip upside down at will but still like to be upside down so having the sling to support me in postures is great! You can sink into stretches that a yoga mat never allows for. This is helping me get back into shape and it's fun!

Fantastic experience: Hands down best pole fitness studio ever! Every class is so fun, such a great workout and I always learn something new. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, well trained/certified, creative, fun, caring, genuine, sweet and encouraging. These girls really have something special going on here, it's like a big fun family and u can tell they all truly love what they do and truly care about all of their students. I truly love coming here and look forward to it every time, if I could go everyday I would! Even if I've had a bad day, as soon as I walk in the door that all changes and i end up leaving there happy and feeling great. Positive energy, love and fun just radiates from this studio and I couldn't be happier with it! Altitude Fitness!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love Altitude!! I've been going to pole fitness classes here from day 1. All of the instructors are great! They provide an effective workout for every level in a fun, motivating, and empowering environment. Great for the mind, body, and soul!!

Fantastic experience: I had the most magnificent time with Alicia! She helped me gain confidence back in my postpartum body and was there to cheer on all the girls in my class. I feel like I had a solid workout, working muscles that I rarely get to tone while on my usual runs. I'll definitely be back and I can't recommend Altitude enough!

Fantastic experience: I love this studio. The staff is incredibly talented and nice and professional. I have made this my home away from home. By far the best studio for aerial training. I highly recommend it to anyone who have thought about trying aerial fitness.

Fantastic experience: I love Altitude - my daughter and I have both been coming to classes since March and we have had the best time. All of the instructors are encouraging, strong, and inspiring-it's an incredibly positive, powerful environment. Can't wait for Altitude 2.0!

Fantastic experience: Beginners pole fitness was the most fun I've ever had working out. The instructor was so welcoming and really in tune with all of us. I've already scheduled my next class!

Fantastic experience: I've been training on Lyra at this studio for about 11 months now, and love every moment of it! Pole classes are a lot of fun as well, though aerial hoop is my real love. All of the teachers are so encouraging and kind, the owner is enthusiastic and accommodating, and there's a great, supportive community among the students. I look forward to every visit to Altitude!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! Everyone is so supportive and classes are top-notch. I can't say a single bad thing about this studio, it quickly became my second home and I can't imagine training anywhere else. Love Tricia and the whole staff!!! Try a class, you won't regret it :)
