Hey, anyone still alive here?
Hello - I'm Kamila - I'm 19 and I started pole dancing about 2 years ago. I've had a half year break from pole or any activity but back in the game since September 2015
For first year I had to travel once a week to different town, about and hour away from my town, because there were no pole studios in my town. It's not the smallest, but I wouldn't say it's big. It wasn't so popular back then, because I don't live in US or anything, but Poland.
Because the traveling was so time consuming I had to give it up. After I came back from holidays this year, I found out they finally opened a pole studio in my town so I could come back on it again!
Bought my first pair of stilettos and I am so happy with them
Now I'm pole dancing once a week, going to twerk classes once a week and 2 more days I spend on a gym. I've never been any healthier nor happier

@thekamu69 I'm glad you were able to get back to it. It's so addicting. I'm fortunate that my pole studio is right across the street from my apartment. Plus, I installed one in my apartment, so I'm able to pole 3-4 times a week, and do yoga in-between pole days.0

Hi, I've been poling for 5 years and am an instructor at my home studio. I am happy with my muscle but feel like my body fat is holding me back a little bit, so here I am! I am easing into weight loss as I absolutely do not want to lose my hard earned muscle!
BTW, I'm currently about 10 lbs up from my weight in my profile photo. Took some time off from Pole due to an injury and gained some weight over this last year.
Please feel free to add me as a friend.1 -
Hey all! I've been into pole dancing about 2 years. I started in a studio until she raised her prices so high I couldn't afford it. Now I buy the studioveena lessons. I can do simple inverted moves like Scorpio, Gemini along with a few other moves like star, sad girl, etc. I would really like to work on shoulder mount and knee holds.1

I love Studio Veena. Her lessons are so thorough. It sucks that your old studio became too expensive.0 -
Hi guys
I've been pole dancing for a few months now and I'm hooked. I'm thrilled there's a group for us 1 -
Hi
I have just started pole dancing 10 weeks ago. I do 2 twerking classes, spin, pole class and a silks class. I love the music and getting fit at the same time. I have just got this app and I am enjoying the support0 -
Hi everyone! So thrilled to be part of this group.
I've been into different fields of fitness for about 10 years now (from running half marathons, to instructing Zumba, then strict lifting, etc) but nothing has ever challenged me the way that Pole has. I've wanted to try it for years, but was always too scared. (Very conservative upbringing, religious past, I believed the stigma, and also, I was afraid to show off my sexuality in public, TBH)
I finally bit the bullet a few weeks ago and started up at a local studio and IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It was a hugely humbling experience because I'm not strong enough or flexible enough (by far) to do some of the incredible sequences some of my classmates can, but I am so damn determined to get there. My goal is to lose ~10-13 kg and build my arms and back immensely and lean out. The bruises and indian burns have been so worth it to me.
Really excited to get to know you all! And please feel free to add me as a friend. I want to stay in touch and be able to keep accountable in both my poling and my weight loss.1 -
Hey ya'll!
I'm Nicole and I'm in love with pole fitness! I have ZERO friends on MFP and I would love to meet some other people who are into pole and who want to keep up with me on my fitness journey.
I started pole fitness with a Groupon three years ago, then I stopped during my third pregnancy. Bought a pole after that baby was born and became totally addicted for about 6 months. But then we moved and there was no place to set it up in my new house. Now, 6 months later, I finally have a spot for it and I will be setting it up in two days! New extension is coming in the mail! I'll be upgrading from 7'9" with a ceiling fan and 2 couches in the way to a full 5' on every side and a 10' ceiling! Yahoo! Using a 45 Chrome Xpert. Home/YouTube taught after my Groupon ran out.
As far as fitness, it's not about weight and more about just looking and feeling my best, whatever that number turns out to be. Right now, I'm just wanting to tone up in my core and my thighs and I CANNOT WAIT for my pole to get set up since I know those target areas are going to get SO WORKED! ha!0 -
Hi everyone, I'm kind of zombifying the group, hopefully!
I'm Christina, and I took a pole-curious class at my local a couple weeks ago. I knew immediately that I was hooked, and I'm going today to set up a membership at the gym. It was fun, and muscles I didn't know I had were sore afterward.
I have been trying to get into weight lifting unsuccessfully for years, but as soon as I did a firefighter and gi jane spin pretty successfully the first class, that was it. This is a form of exercise I look forward to, can't wait to progress in.
I hope people return to this group, I'm so excited to share my progress!0
