    Hi girls! Bobbi’s was my first pole home (2005-06) and where I got seriously hooked! I’ve trained at many other Aussie studios since and Bobbi’s is definitely one-of-a-kind! They are seriously and unashamedly Sexxxxy! All the girls wear hot pants that aren’t much bigger than g-strings and stilettos to class. When i trained there, the moves were not necessarily so much about technical difficulty as about beautiful lines and flowing combos. The poles are 38mm spinners and twisted grip was used for many advanced moves (even shoulder mount) which adds to that effortless effect. Head rolls, body rolls, splits and high kicks rule at Bobbi’s!

    July 17, 2012 at 4:49 am in reply to: Is 30 minutes a day enough?

    Actually, I am hearing more and more that short, intense bouts of exercise are more effective at fat-burning than long, slower cardio sessions (much more fun too :)) Instead of "30 min/day" think more in terms of how long over a week — you will see all those little bits add up! The thing about making exercise sustainable is making it fit into your lifestyle, so that you will keep it up. Many of us can't afford a full hour every day, so half an hour is great! Plus it's plenty of time to work on new moves or get a sweat up, if you train smart and don't fluff around πŸ˜‰ I personally think 10 min of abs daily is enough. I do feel stretching does take a little more time to be effective. Instead of doing a short, full body stretch every day, maybe you could incoporate longer sessions on each area — eg. front splits, middle splits, back — but rotate them through the week? I have been doing this and found my flexibility gains to be better than trying to squeeze them all in every day. xx

    I have a pair of Pole Fit Brazil Shorts and Spider Back Top, both size S, to sell if anyone's interested (I'm in Australia) They are unworn as I ordered the wrong size πŸ™ Anyone ordering from Bad Kitty — go up a size, they are teeny!

    Just a thought that maybe you are struggling to get grip because ur skin is dry? Do you moisturise night before poling? Or use something like ? You have mastered some advanced moves but most of the ones you have stated as problems seem to rely on a good grip — CAR, no-hands scorpio, Superman. πŸ™‚

    May 6, 2011 at 9:18 pm in reply to: Slippery X-Pole! HELP!!

    My chrome x-pole is still super slippery….after 2 plus years!!
    Only thing that really works is rubbing pole with small amount of itac 2 grip right before training. Makes it really sticky — sometimes too much so! I don’t use itac on my hands as it can go slick. I have also used , which helps but it hasnt been quite the perfect solution I was hoping for! On a side note, is a body grip, do u spray it for example on ur tummy and thighs and behind the knees. It is not recommended for the hands πŸ™‚
