    I’ve currently going to Diva Den but I started at Brassy Butterfly. I love both-I plan on returning to Brassy Butterfly when my skills improve to get help with more challenging moves/routines. I like the "class style" at Diva Den…warm-up new skills, practice and so on and then a cool down. Looking forward to hear about both of your progresses and maybe we can have a pole jam sometime!

    STLPoledancer27,
    Girl, I am with you! I just moved from Texas to Oregon and left all friends and family behind. I have also had to ditch my career and I now work at a meaningless, "pay the bills" job where I have nothing in common with anyone. I hate "hi, how are you" conversations and relationships. I prefer a smaller, close-knit group of friends but have not found any either. I’m not sure if I have any advice for you but maybe we can think of ideas together!

    I LOOOVE to run!
    I’m coming to pole fitness as a runner. After running cross-country in h.s., I’ve competed in 5K’s, Half-Marathons and Triathlons and love it but was looking to do something else. I’ve had a goal to do a marathon but have not made the time for the long runs. The downfall of me being a runner is that my flexibility is very limited. My training has consisted of running, more running, some gym time and Pilates. I am now thrust into the world of pole and am taking aerial arts classes as well. It’s embarrassing how limber I’m not. Any suggestions on how to speed up this process w/o injury? One of my aerial teachers told me that it took him 2 years to be able to do the splits. I really hope that’s not how long it takes!

    If you’re wanting to do a marathon, make sure you get fitted for shoes from a specialty store. They can assess how your foot hits the ground and go from there. Adequate stretching, good shoes and a softer surface(trail) should minimize your shin splints. Good luck!
