An Important Update from Vertical Fusion Boulder
After more than a decade of serving the Boulder community, Vertical Fusion Boulder will officially close its doors on July 27, 2025. This decision was not made lightly. It comes after a period of deep reflection, personal transition, and a desire to realign with new professional and personal directions.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every student, instructor, and supporter who made this space so vibrant, inclusive, and transformative. The impact of this community extends far beyond the studio walls — the friendships, empowerment, and growth that took place here are lasting.
Though the physical space is closing, Vertical Fusion’s legacy continues through our sister locations in Fort Collins and Longmont, owned and operated by Christine and Kayla, respectively. I, Melanie, will also continue teaching regularly at Vertical Fusion Longmont and Tease Studio Denver, as well as workshops at VF Fort Collins and Studio 3sixT. I also aspire to launch online pole content soon to expand my reach for what I enjoy most--teaching!
I invite you to join us for one last community gathering on July 27 — details can be found here in Momence. Let’s celebrate everything we built together.
To our students with remaining class credits—please try to use them by July 27. I’ll also be reaching out individually with options to transfer your credits to Vertical Fusion Longmont, Tease Studio, or convert them into private lesson credits with me. Please understand that this task is a huge undertaking and I ask that you give me through August to reconcile with you.
Tease Studio and VF Longmont are offering exclusive promotions to help ease the transition for Boulder students. If you’re interested, just email me direct and I’ll send you the details.
With love and gratitude,
Melanie Piek (@Blissphemy)
Founder, Vertical Fusion
