Pole Fitness Northwest, Federal Way

At Pole Fitness Northwest, owner Tina Morelli uses her nearly two decades of dancing experience to guide women of any skill level in fun fitness routines. The pink-and-black-checkered studio's 12 poles give aerial athletes plenty of practice time in intimate classes with no more than a dozen students. Most classes on the schedule last 75 minutes with stretching and cool-down time, and they are not taught in a series, allowing dancers to join at any time. There are three levels of instruction—from beginner to advanced—in addition to private sessions and Play Time, for which diehard twirlers make appointments to practice independently on the poles and aerial silks between classes.
