DivaFit was founded by Lisa Peklo in September 2006. Lisa has a B.S. in Exercise Science, and a long resume of experience in the fitness field. At a local fitness conference she was introduced to the “Art” of striptease. Lisa enjoyed the luxury of moving in a sensual way to music and started teaching classes on the side to friends. The side hobby grew as she branched out into learning to pole dance. The hobby grew into a passion and then a career as Lisa opened DivaFit - the first pole fitness studio the metro area. 

Today DivaFit has 30 instructors, 4 studios, and 9 levels of pole classes. DivaFit prides itself in offering safe classes to women of all ages in a non-intimidating environment. Women ages 18 – 60 have taken classes. Moms, accountants, teachers, dancers – all women have come away smiling - feeling sexier and stronger.  DivaFit is the largest and leading studio offering pole dancing lessons in Northern Virginia.  DivaFit has studios in Ashburn, Herndon, Chantilly and Falls Church.
