Our Mission
At AVA Fitness Studios, our mission is to provide expert instruction in pole dancing, sensual movement, aerial arts, dance, flexibility training, and fitness, prioritizing safety above all else. Our objective is to cultivate a setting characterized by education, motivation, inspiration and encouragement, nurturing creativity and self-confidence. Through professional certified teaching and guidance, we strive to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive community that champions body positivity, enabling individuals to explore their self-value and artistic expression in a secure environment.
Our Community
Upon stepping into our establishment, guests are welcomed into an inclusive space that celebrates diversity and welcomes everyone without exception. Whether seeking solace, connection, or inspiration, you will find a supportive community ready to uplift and accompany you on your personal journey. The AVA community values mutual understanding, respect and strongly believes in the significance of every voice. Here, you are not just accepted; you are honored for your uniqueness.
Our Poles, Rigging Points and Class Sizes
We have 8 poles and 3 aerial rigging points. We allow up to 12 people in our pole and flexibility based classes, 6 people in our aerial classes and 8 people in our floor based + heels dance (non pole) classes. We do allow equipment sharing (no more than 2 people). If you are uncomfortable sharing a pole or aerial apparatus with somebody else, we completely respect that but our studio might not be the best fit for you.
Our Studio & Location
We are situated in the vibrant heart of downtown New Westminster, a short two-minute stroll from the New West Skytrain station. Our purpose built facility spans over 1900 square feet, featuring a dedicated pole room, an aerial and fitness room, two washrooms, and a spacious reception area. We boast a diverse selection of offerings, with more than 40 classes available weekly.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We respectfully acknowledge that AVA Fitness is situated on the traditional territory and unceded lands of the Qayqayt First Nation and all Coast Salish peoples. We extend our gratitude to the Indigenous communities who have been the stewards of these lands since time immemorial.
“I have been attending AVA for almost 2 years now, and the thing that keeps me coming back is this supportive community! I have found friends, a home, a family, etc. here & I also have experienced tremendous self growth in EVERY aspect of my being. I can climb a pole, I can show up for myself when mental illness is a challenge, I feel confident in my plus size body, and above all, i feel loved. So grateful for AVA 💚
