Where are you located and how can I get in touch?
Our studio is located north of Catonsville, MD just outside the Baltimore beltway in Winsdor Mill.
Our address is:
2605 Lord Baltimore Dr.
Suite K
Windsor Mill, MD 21244
Getting in touch with us is easy! You can use our contact form, call us at 410-661-1301, or email at info@xposefitness.com. If you call during class hours someone will be there to help you, otherwise leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
I've never done this before, what should I expect?
When you first arrive at Xpose Fitness, you'll be greeted by our Front Desk Staff. Make sure to say "hi" and check in with them each time you arrive for class.
Bathrooms are located near the front of the building.
Our Client Lounge is where you can leave your things and prepare for class. There are changing curtains for privacy, and cubbies to store your personal belongings/extra clothes during class. Your'e welcome to wear outside shoes anywhere in the studio except the studio rooms. There's a shoe rack in the hallway outside the pole room, or feel free to leave your shoes in your cubby.
Across from the Client Lounge is the Kitchenette, with complimentary tea and coffee.
There are three studio rooms:
-
The Practice Room, located in the front of the building behind the Front Desk.
-
The Pole Room, located in the back hallway.
-
The Floor Room, located in the back hallway, just past the Pole Room.
Each class will begin with a warmup. Following that, the instructor will guide you through learning moves and/or a routine. Each class ends with a cooldown.
To sign up for class, you can reserve your spot online or with the WellnessLiving mobile app, or you can call the studio. Please keep in mind that we have limited hours, and reservations are not accepted over voicemail, so signing up online or through the app is the best way to claim your spot.
What is WellnessLiving? Do I need to download something?
WellnessLiving is our client management and class scheduling software.
Each client will have their own WellnessLiving profile, where they can sign up for classes and workshops, and purchase individual classes or memberships. You can save your preferred payment methods on your account to make checkout quick and easy!
You have 24 hour access to your account online or with the WellnessLiving Achieve app.
Get the app for Apple or Android to sign up for classes and see your upcoming schedule.
If you’ve used WellnessLiving to sign up for another gym you can use the same profile, just select Xpose Fitness to see our class schedule and pass options!
What class is right for me?
We have classes to fit every level of experience. Many classes are open to all levels, while some classes are leveled as beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
If you're new to Pole, we recommend starting with a Level 1 or Level 1/2 class, or our beginner's class For The Newbies.
All our non-pole classes are open to clients of all levels of experience.
Our Two Week Intro Offer is a great option for new clients to try all the classes on the schedule. Get unlimited classes for 14 days and explore everything Xpose has to offer!
Check out our Classes page for full descriptions of all our class offerings!
What should I wear?
Any workout attire is appropriate for class. As long as all intimate areas are covered, you can wear as much or as little as you’d like! The studio gets cold sometimes, so for a class like Sexy Stretch you might want to bring some extra layers.
For pole classes, you will want to have some skin exposed. For lower level classes you’ll be fine with above the knee shorts. Exposed skin lets your body stick to the pole, so for higher level pole classes you will want to wear smaller shorts. (Bathing suit bottoms make great pole shorts!)
Bare feet or socks are fine for all classes. High heel shoes must have a full ankle strap. Any brand of shoe specifically made for pole dancing (like Pleasers) may be worn. All other shoes must be approved by staff.
Please refrain from using body oils and oil based lotions for 24 hours before class.
Please be considerate of members and staff and remember your personal hygiene. Make sure to put on deodorant/antiperspirant before taking class.
How do I sign up for class?
Registration for class can be made up to 24 hours before the start of class.
To sign up, log into your WellnessLiving account and select the class you would like to register for. If you already have a class purchase option or membership on your account you’ll be prompted to use that pass. If not, you’ll be presented with the applicable purchase options.
Don't have a WellnessLiving account? Register here! Then make sure to download the WellnessLiving Achieve app for easy on-the-go access to your account!
What should I bring?
We recommend having a bottle of water with you for class. Water is also available for purchase if you need a refill!
For Pole classes you should bring your dance heels (if you wear them) and your pole grip. You may also want to wear knee pads, particularly in the Pole Flow (choreography) classes.
For the safety of our clients and our equipment, metal jewelry is prohibited. This includes watches, bracelets, and fitness trackers with metal parts. Glass water bottles are also prohibited.
For Floor/Chair and Sexy Stretch classes we recommend that you bring a yoga mat and/or knee pads.
We have several types of pole grip, as well as knee pads and yoga mats available for purchase at the studio.
What kind of poles do you have?
All our poles are 45mm diameter stainless steel poles from X-Pole.
The poles in the Pole Room are permanent mount poles with the X-Lock spin/static quick release, meaning that they are permanently attached to the ceiling, and can be quickly changed between spin mode and static mode.
The poles in the Practice Room are Stage Poles. This means they are portable poles mounted on a heavy, weighted base.
I want a home pole, what should I look for?
You can buy your own home pole directly from X-Pole!
Our studio poles are 45mm stainless steel poles. If you’re looking for the same experience at home, the stainless steel XPERT Pro (PX) will be the closest match.
What's the difference between your pole classes?
Our two main types of pole classes are Static Pole (where the pole itself does not move) and Spin pole (where it does!).
For more information about all our class offerings, see our Classes page.
How can I tell if I'm ready for the next level of pole class?
All our classes are self leveled, meaning that you can choose to take any class on the schedule. We offer some suggestions for which level to try on our Classes page, and you can always talk with your instructor about which level might be right for you.
Our goal is for all our clients to get the most out of their class experience. If, week to week, you’re feeling like the material is familiar and you’re moving through it with confidence you might want to try a higher level. If it’s too much you can always come back down to a lower level class. We also offer split level classes to ease the transition between levels.
What if I can't make it every week?
All our classes are designed to work as stand-alone classes. While you’ll make the most progress coming back week to week, you are also welcome to drop in to classes as your schedule allows.
Some choreography based classes will teach a longer combination split up over several weeks, but the material will be reviewed from week to week as well.
What if I'm shy?
Dance classes are a great place to make friends! While some clients come with people they already know, a lot of our clients come by themselves for the first time!
We pride ourselves on an environment that is supportive of people trying new things. Your instructor and your classmates will always cheer on your successes.
Do I need to pay initiation fees or monthly dues?
Xpose Fitness does not charge any initiation fees.
With the exception of the 3 Month Auto Renew membership, all our class packages and memberships are single purchase passes, meaning you’ll purchase them once and use them through their expiration date. The 3 Month Auto Renew does come with a commitment to pay the pass fee monthly for three months, however at the conclusion of that pass you are free to purchase any other purchase option that works for you.
For more information see our Pricing page.
How can I come with a group of my friends?
All classes are open to the public, and booked on a first come first serve basis. Every client attending class must have their own account, and we do not take multiple reservations from a single account.
Looking for something more individual? Go here to learn more about Private Classes and Parties.
What does it mean if I'm on the waitlist?
Our classes have limited capacity. If a class fills up, additional sign-ups will be added to the wait list.
If there is a cancellation, clients will be automatically promoted into the class in the order in which they signed up. If you are not promoted into the class, your purchase option will remain on your account and can be used for a future class.
What if I got stuck in traffic? Can I get a refund on my class?
We do not permit clients to enter class past 10 minutes of the start of class. If you’re running late please give us a call so we know you’re on your way. However, keep in mind that if you will be more than 5 minutes late your spot will be given to the first client on the waiting list.
In order to fairly compensate our instructors, late cancel and no-show classes cannot be refunded. Please see our Studio Policies for more information on our cancellation policy.
Can I rent your space?
If you're just looking for practice space we offer Open Studio practice time in our Practice Room during class hours or sometimes in our main pole classroom when not in use. You can schedule Open Studio time with the Front Desk or by calling us at (410) 661-1301.
If you are interested in renting out the whole studio, please email us at info@xposefitness.com with details on what you'd like to rent the space for and we'll get you more information.
