As HotPhlip said, this community is very wise.
Physical contact and love of oneself are not necessarily linked, and everyone's need or tolerance for physical contact is different. However, it does start with loving yourself. Regardless of gender, status or age, you should always love yourself. To look at yourself in the mirror and be proud of the person looking back at you takes time and, for lack of a better word, commitment. You have to spend more time loving yourself, respecting who you are and developping your own abalities and knowledge than anything else. You are like a piece of art in the making, constantly evolving and improving and that's what you should love the most about yourself. The fact that no matter what has happened to you, where you started from or where you are going, you can still grow and learn to love who you are.

Hey girls!
I wish all the competitors the best of luck and I hope they all have a great time! I'm sure Olivia you will do great! 😉
Unfortunately I have to pass this year, but I will think about you guys!
Cheers!

I agree with you StudioVeena. Some people will just never be open-minded. For them to say such horrible comments just makes me wonder how truly happy they are with themselves. If they do not agree, that is their choice. But to voice it in such a nasty way makes it hard to take them seriously…

I agree with SpinningBunny. I've been doing pole fitness for almost 3 years now and I still have plenty to learn. That's whats great about this discipline. There's always a new move or trick to learn. Don't give up, it can take a while to get a move, it took me more than 8 months to get some of the more advanced moves and I still can't do the split (working on it though!), but when you finally get that one move you've been working on, it's the best feeling in the world!
Whenever I have trouble with a move, I try to practice it 5 times EVERYTIME I'm at the pole. Even if I don't get it, it helps my body to remember the movement and little by little, it gets better. I'm also rather cheezy, I tell myself that if I manage to do the move, no matter how bad it looks, I will have a good day, or I will deserve to eat my favourite snack after, or any other little thing that motivates me. Of course the best motivation is to actually GET the move! lol
And I can guarantee you'll never find a discipline with a more supportive community! 😉 So keep up the good work and don't give up!
Cheers!

To be honest I am suprised someone like Anderson, who openly admitted to being homosexual, would be so closed-minded. As someone commented on his page, associating pole fitness, for kids or adults, with stripping is like associating homosexuals with aids. It's just not right.
The way he treated his guests was increadibly rude and unprofessional. I've never really watched the show, but this particular segment says a lot about how "objective" he is. If this is how he handles a subject he does not agree with, I would rather not watch his show at all.

I'm really happy you got it back in the end, that's what matters. Whatever she says after does not matter since you got the pole back. If this really was a gift, why would she give it back anyway? And now you know, don't lend your pole to anyone! 😉
Cheers!

I haven't read much of her books myself, only a short story so far, but I have read GREAT reviews about Opal Carew. From what I have read, the stories are steamy and decently written.
Happy reading!

Hi! I noticed this discussion was started a few months back and I wanted to know what you ended up doing @SadieNikole. I agree with the majority here that you cannot go there without a police officer or any legal authority since they could view your presence as trespassing. Knowing how low they've already sunk, it would not surprise me. You should difinitely try to get it back through legal means simply because it's the right thing to do and they do not have a case against you. It's not right for people to get away with something like this. This person may be angry, or emotional at the moment, but it does not excuse her act. If you need legal advice, please let me know. Best of luck!
Cheers!

Thank you Sarah! 🙂

I'm all for teh pole Jam at someone's place if the group is not too big. I would rather do that than rent a studio. I already go to a studio and get free practice time so to me, the pole Jams are just for fun, to meet new girls and help others. I would rather not have to pay extra for that, unless it's a special event such as a pole party! 🙂

Welcome firemuffy! 🙂

Hello ladies!
Wow this is great! I'm happy to know there are others out there! I am definitely in for a next session. My place isn't the best but it's always open! How about we plan a session for mid-July? Anyone interested in lending their place for the practice? If we are no more than 6-7 girls it shouldn't be too bad. If no one can do it, I can open my appartment again no problem.
Let me know what you think!
Happy Canada Day ladies!
Cheers!

My absolute pleasure! I love this quote, it makes me want to always try harder. Even if I don't get it today, I'll get it eventually. Trust me…it took me half a year to get the handsprin… LOL Start little by little and soon enoguh you'll see the progress. The imoprtant thing is to not give up! And after a great workout, you deserve good food! 😉
Cheers!

@Pegasus Welcome! I assure you this will be the best workout you will have ever done! It never gets boring and there is always something new to learn! I think you have every right to think about competitions right away. It will motivate you to go the extra mile and get better and better!

No worries amasou, the cats will be in my room for the practice. I will clean as much as I can you you feel better. A pole matt is like a gym matt to break your falls during difficult moves. I don't use them much, but they are very useful! Ok I will add your number to my cell and text you.
Cheers!
-
Great ladies! I will provide the music! (I can hook any ipod to my TV so feel free to bring yours!
I will confirm with you the time and place!
I look forward to a great practice session!
Cheers!

Hi TreePoles!
Yes the practice would be at my place. Small but quiet and accessible! I have one pole, but no mat, you can bring one if you want! 🙂 As for snacks and refereshments, you can bring anything you want but no need if you don't want to. I recommend not to eat too much while practicing… I don't know about you, but it makes it hard for me to flip upside down after eating LOL.

The transition from 45mm to 50mm is not too bad, I did it myself for a special event where they only had 45mm and it was ok. The spins are easier on the smaller pole, but the grip is better on the 50 mm pole, for me anyway. I also have lots of grip (mighty grip powder) if you need it.
Let's make it for next Tuesday then. I will let confirm via text and e-mail. Anyone interested, let me know! 🙂
Cheers!

Hi amasou!
You are more than welcomed to come practice as well! The level does not matter. I am more than happy to help and it's always fun to see what others can do and work with others to get inspired! You don't have to bring your pole, my place only has enough space for one, so we can just share the pole. I have a 50mm X-pole, hope that works! 🙂

Hello Sarah!
That's awesome! We can definitely start whenever you want and any other lady interested is more than welcomed to come as well!
You are too nice to offer me a ride to Kanata! I can't promise I would go everytime, but I will definitely take you up on that offer and try to go there at least once in a while!
I practice on average 3-4 times a week, usually on Tuesday and Fridays (around 4-5pm) at my place, but I can do it most of the other days. I would consider myself to be at an intermediate-almost advanced level so I will be happy to help you as much as I can.
If you are interested, we can start the workout either this week-end or next week. Just let me know what day is best for you. TreePoles, the invitation extends to you as well! 🙂
The only thing is that I have to cats. they would not be in the room with us, but in case you are allergic, I'd rather you know.
Cheers!

This is absolutely true! It seems to be easier to answer when we are asked what we DON'T like about ourselves… but well I have to admit, since starting pole fitness, I have seen great improvement in my figure. I love my rocking body now! Great booty, great curves, great legs and great shoulders! Thanks to this wonderful workout, I have NEVER looked better! I even started wearing summer dresses!

Hello ladies!
I'm from Ottawa-Gatineau as well! Welcome to the neighbourhood! There are great places to practice pole here and a great community too! Kanata is a little far for me because I don't have a car 🙁 but I would love to meet up and practice with you guys once in a while! I live right next to the civilisation museum and have a pole at my place. It's not much, but if any of you want a practice buddy, I'd be happy to host practice sessions at my place! 🙂 Also, if you guys want to try out a studio, let me know, some of them have tall poles and high ceilings!
Cheers!

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.
