I love all the comments and I agree with everybody. I teach preschool and unfortunately the stigma that is attached to pole is stripping. People need to be better informed of the extent of pole. If I happen to tell a parent and they look at me funny I explain to them the fundamental side of pole and the physical challenge is exhilirating!!To all my co workers who found out by way of gossip, I just smile and say yup, i dont make enough money teaching!! lol I just let them believe what they want. I dont have time for ignorant people.

My 86 yr old mom finally saw my SSA and she said “Now….what do call this? This isnt what you exercise on is it? You said it was in the garage…THIS is it? What do u do with it?” My step dad, who is also 86 chuckled oh so quietly lol.

I should mention that I am 53 so she was even more puzzled at what someone my age could do with that hahaha!

I typically just say that I do Pole Fitness, but I don’t compete. That usually makes it clear that it’s a sport and I’ve never had anyone ask me if I worked at a club. Of course, nine times out of ten I’m standing there with my stethoscope around my neck so that could be it too…
