At Fly Together Fitness, we believe that pole dancing is for everyone. We also recognize that financial barriers can impact the accessibility of pole fitness. We are excited to announce the launch of the Empowerment Fellowship Program, which aims to increase access to our classes. In our first round of offering this program, we encouraged applicants who are experiencing financial difficulty, who identify as members of historically marginalized communities with less access and representation in pole, and who are committed to being a part of our pole community for the fellowship duration (6-12 months), to apply.

   Fellowships provide reduced-price access for ~6-12 months of Fly Together Fitness classes. Our third round of applications is open from January 10th - January 31st, 2025. Selected recipients will be notified by February 15th, 2025. Across our past two award cycles, we awarded 25 fellowships at different tiers based on need and availability to fellows who demonstrated commitment to pole dancing over the award period, potential for personal and collective empowerment through pole fitness, and barriers to accessing our classes at our current pricing.
