"The one who reaches the sky"
Welcome to Icarus Pole Fitness, a studio that strives to feel like home.
Our aim is to make our classes fun, inclusive, and accessible. At Icarus, we welcome all students; from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals. Whether you want to get out of your comfort zone, or find a new one, we’re here with you every step of the way. Our bespoke studio is perfect for catering to individuals.
We have brilliant 4.3 meter tall brass poles. While most studios in New Zealand use chrome or stainless steel poles, brass poles were chosen to combat Auckland’s humidity as the grip factor increases with the ambient temperature. We use Lupit brand mats which are designed for pole, wrapping around the base of the pole giving full coverage.
In our classes, we create a supportive environment where you can escape from the daily drivel. One of our philosophies is: “Had an awful day? Dance it out. Had an awesome day? Dance it out!”
We offer a range of payment and booking options, from tiered memberships down to casual class-by-class passes - ideal for those wanting to give it a go, those with shifting work hours, or a hectic life you can’t schedule. Attend classes at your leisure.
We are also here to support more advanced polers as you grow and look to perform or compete. In 2022, Eleanor ran competition training for one of our students who placed first in NZAPP regionals and went on to win the finals. In 2024 two of our students placed third in their respective categories at NZAPP Auckland heats.
We hope to join your pole fitness journey soon.
