To lose weight (such as from body fat), it's important to burn calories and build muscle. Our Booty Camp, Rock Bottom, Twerkout, and Pole Dancing classes are excellent for burning calories, and building muscle. Booty camp will improve your cardio, and improve both your upper and lower body strength and nicely tone and shape your muscles. Pole dancing is one of the most unique ways to workout, and it won’t be until the next day that you feel your muscles recovering from class. Start with pole dancing level 1 and be sure to take at least one to two days off a week. We suggest that you try a new class every week to keep your workouts fun and interesting and keep your body guessing, which is how you will consistently see improvement. Our goal is to make sure your time in the 'gym' is fun! As with any weight loss program make sure that you are following a nutrition program that provides your body with fiber and adequate amounts of plant based calories supplying protein, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids. We have a registered dietitian and nutritionist on staff available for consultation.

We have stretching classes for all levels most days of the week at both locations. Join us for classes called: Stretching for the Splits and Flexibility. If you are able to take a class or do cardio beforehand, your muscles will be warmer and stretch easier. Members are welcome to use our studio between classes to practice, stretch and warm up. In 2023 we launched our new website PoleFitnessOnline.com with on-demand videos and live streaming classes. We have produced workout videos on all topics for you to watch from home or while traveling. We are looking forward to getting more flexible with you and help you reach your flexibility goals!

If you are just starting out and want to learn at home, you would benefit most from volume 4, Lap Dancing & Entertaining Your Man. This video was created for exotic dancers and women who would like to dance for their partner. If you want to start working as an exotic dancer or simply have an interest in the moves dancers use on the pole and on stage (dancing and floor work), pick up a copy of 'Pole Work' and 'Dance Moves & Floor Work.' These are available on our website in the Shop. In 2023 we launched our new website PoleFitnessOnline.com with on-demand videos and live streaming classes.

Previously, since 1997 I lived the bodybuilding lifestyle, eating as natural as possible with a mix of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. However my lifestyle has drastically changed. Since January 2017, I switched to being Vegan, which was a pretty fast transition, starting in the fall of 2016. In just three months I had removed all animal proteins from my diet, and have replaced them with friendlier proteins: tempeh (soy product), nuts, tahini, almond milk, beans, broccoli, peas, hemp, spirulina, and spinach. For my carbohydrates, I eat oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown and white rice, and sprouted grain bread. And I have always been a fan of good fats, essential fatty acids from almonds, avocados, flax oil, Udo's Choice Oil, grape seed oil, extra virgin olive oil.

My personal reasons for going Vegan are: I love our planet, and I love all animals. Nearly 20 percent of man-made pollution comes from the meat industry, putting factory farming ahead of transportation in contributing to the greenhouse effect. According to VeganOutreach.org, one person can spare at least 50 animals every year by eliminating animals from their diet. In 2011, USA Today reported that nearly 50 percent of Americans are trying to cut down on meat, while approximately one-fifth of students are vegetarian, vegan, or trying to eat less meat. Being Vegan saves you 40% on food. I can save money, save the animals, help the planet and live a longer, healthier and cancer free life by being vegan.
