Pole has changed my entire life for the better. I couldn't be more grateful to a shiny piece of metal that leaves me bruised, beaten and exhausted. Pole makes me COME ALIVE. It's like my personality finally blossomed when I began pole dancing.
I feel so physically strong now, and I've lost about 20lbs over the past year. I love feeling toned and tight, I'm happy with my legs, my arms, and almost… with my tummy. This is the best shape I have been in for a long time, and it makes me more aware of what I eat and what other exercise I do, because it all affects my poling!
I've been poling for over a year and half, and I'm just now starting to get more advanced moves and combos. It has definitely been a tough, painful, frustrating and amazing journey. I can't imagine what my life would be like without pole dance.
Pole inspires me. Supports me. Nourishes my soul.

I still remember the first class I took almost three years ago. As with many of you, a friend asked me to come and I relunctantly accepted. I didn't really object to the sport, on the contrary, but I didn't think I had enough of a feminine side to do it. I was and still am to this day, pretty much a tomboy. I don't care for makeup, high heels, dresses and shopping, but love sports, cars and pants.
When they asked the girls why we had come, for the health benefit, the confidence or the fun, I realised that it was for the three reasons. As much as I loved the fitness, I also wanted to gain confidence as a woman and feel beautiful. I wanted to be able to move gracefully and think of myself as, dare I say it, sexy.
Well three years later, I still hate makeup, high heels, dresses and shopping, but I discovered that I don't mind being a woman, feeling sexy and showing off my curves. I also learned that walking down the street with my head held high feels good and that suprisingly enough, most people will not look up from the floor or make eye contact with others while walking. (Try it, you'll see!!)
Most of all, pole fitness showed me I could be strong AND sexy all at the same time.

I hope I'm not irritating anyone by bumping this thread but it's really inspirational and I wanted to hear more responses!
