Hi everyone! I’m Andi! I have been taking beginner classes at a studio near my house for a month now tomorrow. I am starting from scratch. Completely out of shape and with no gymnastic or dancing experience. I have very limited balance and flexibility but I am excited to improve on all of these things! I just bought my first pair of Pleasers and tried them out for the very first time in class on Saturday! I was terrified BUT they felt so natural! It was a lot of fun. I am starting off with the conditioning and regular exercise workouts here in between classes and hopefully I’ll be getting a pole to work with at home some time in the hear future! I am excited to be on this journey and even more so since I’ve found a community here to support and nurture my learning!
Cheers!

Welcome! Welcome! I am so excited for you! When I first started, this site was my lifeline for pole and unexpectedl, it quickly became my lifeline for everything else. lol! If you ever have questions, need help or just want to rant, we are here to listen. My best advice coming from a poler who started as out of shape and little to no experience in dance and gymnastics is record your practices when poling at home, be patient with yourself and celebrate every little bit of progress you can no matter how small. You will find that your strength will build more quickly than you think. I took a long (5 year hiatus)after having major successes in pole with gains in confidence and weight loss. My beginnings in pole were life changing. Now that I am back and losing weight after being heavier than I have ever been, I am regaining what I have already built. It’s amazing how quickly your body can change and how amazing it feels to get a new move, or in my case getting back what was lost. Congratulations on your decision to implement a healthier lifestyle and on finding one of the best places on earth to feel great and get in shape while having fun doing it! ps. get a pole at home as soon as possible, you’ll be glad you did!
