Where can I sign up for pole fitness?
Amazing site and body forms.
Would you know of places in Washington, DC or Northern Virginia; I would be a beginner and overweight however I want to feel lifted and feel finished.
I am 57 years young and I have always worked out. Currently I do a boot camp and 2 personal training sessions a week. I’ve always been interested in Pole fitness. I live in the Charlotte NC area and would like your advice in finding an accredited facility to take pole fitness/dancing lessons! At this time in my life, if I’m successful and can handle the classes, I will be one of the biggest, supportive voices out there!!! Thanks so much. Judy
Hi Judy. That all sounds wonderful! You should definitely try a pole class. In North Carolina I would recommend Aradia Fitness (http://cary.aradiafitness.com). Maybe not right by you but the best that I know of in the area. Best of luck to you and your journey! ❤
