    This was really only while my period was ending.  Now the only way I even know when it should be "that time" is my eating habits.  I used to get cramps the second day of my period that would lay me up in bed,  and I have a pretty high tolerance for pain.  I had prescritions for Anaprox before Aleve was even on the market.  That stuff always worked best for me….I would take 3-4 Aleve, lay down for 30 minutes and I would be human again.

    I want to say a good 3 days at least for the cramping with each day being easier.  I will note though that with my first one my cramps around what would have been that time of the month were AWFUL for the first 3-6 months but only for a day.  It felt like I had the worst gas cramps plus constipation (which I did not have…just that feeling like you are full to the gills).

     

    I think I may have spotted for close to a week

    Monthly memberships are hard to price and difficult for the client espeically if youa re running specials and your classes are full.  It also has drawbacks that people will sign up for multiple classes and then not show without any repercussions to them.  I kind of like drops in and either punch cards or some type of package system.  Price drop ins higher than packages.

     

    There are good and bad to sessions.  If you have enough instructors ok, but if not then it can get really hectic crazy with scheduling.  Also the same thing as what Amy stated.  I was just talking to my sister and she is not signing up for her next session because it is ski season and she knows she will be missing classes.  On the other hand it is easier for an instructor to have all people in the class at the same level.  Also I ahve found that with pole peopel are fickle….by the time they have the balls to get to a class they want to go NOW…not have to wait another month before the next session starts.

    According to the BMI site:

    Q: Are my dance/aerobic instructors responsible for music licensing?

    No. Since it is your business that's being enhanced by the use of music, you are responsible for obtaining a music license, similar to other permits you must obtain as a business owner.

    BMI…but honestly I don't know of any small studio that is paying this.  And according to BMI, the business owner is responsible.  So if you are working out of a studio, they would be the ones to pay the licensing fee.  These are the same people that shut down Napster and Limewire.

    mcuellar, OMG, seriously your teacher says these things?  How are these not meant in a mean way?  Unless you are in a bootcamp type class where the instructors are supposed to be a pain in the butt I would seriously talk to this instructor or the owner.

    Knowing Charley I think you may have taken what she said about pulling someone off to the side in the wrong way.  It was not as a calling out that you are bigger type of thing but rather being sensitive to someone and not talking about it in front of other students.

    I have pulled up videos of quite a few ladies after class and showed my students that you do not have to be a size 2 to rock the pole.

    Also look up superman drop tutorials as it is a similar mechanism of getting into the final positio.  You have to thread the arm through just as you would if you were doing a twisting dismount from an invert.

    Seriously…that last part is called a Holly Drop.  There are a million tutorials/videos of this move on youtube.

     

    Here is a thread from a few years ago that talks about it too:

    My studio also has mindbody and we routinely have wait lists and half full classes.  It is annoying!
