• My first lesson!

  I can remember my first lesson, beforehand I was obsessed with what I was wearing and worried about lots of skinny people dancing around poles as I'm not a "dancy" person! How wrong was I! When I turned up there were lots of normal people who were all really nice to the "newbie!" and smiled and talked to me! I started with others and we had a pole to ourselves and it was fun trying to master the moves together! I shouldn't have been worried about what I was wearing either as everyone is so nice!

• Polenastics changed my life

  No longer am I seeing others enjoying their hobbies, hearing them talk about what amazing social lives they have and wondering WHY don't I have that!! I used to always think that perhaps I was just meant to be one of those people that never really does much with thier lives.. until I discovered Polenastics that is!! :) Iv read these reviews and i have to say I agree with every word, Polenastics IS an amazing sport and it tones you up in no way I ever thought possible BUT one thing that has effected my life more than the sport itself, is the community that comes with it. My life has changed dramatically since going to Polenastics, I have made soo many new friends and what I think holds us all in such a tight bond, is this love we all share for the pole. Its like Polenastics isnt just a group of people in a excersise class, its a growing family of people enjoying life and looking damn good doing it :) If like me, you are missing that thing in your life to be pationate about and you want a great way to get fit, be happy and make freinds.. then I have no doubt that Polenastics are who your looking for! ........ I have even been inspired to enter the first ever Bucks Pole Fitness Championships and competing is something I NEVER thought i'd do.... Thanks Polenatics team, you are ALL amazing... Im eternally grateful for what oppertunity you gave to us

• Poletastic Fun

  If you haven't tried pole fitness, you must. I am an aerobics instructor and have tried many fitness crazes, but this is the most addictive fun I've had in a long time. The instructors are all really great, making sure you have a fab time whilst staying safe and getting a workout to boot. Go on give it a go :)

• Polenastics are awesome!!

  I began learning to pole at the start of 2009, and it is putting it mildly to say that I the least co-ordinated, and most likely to fall over person I know. I also have to admit that I have spent my life being on the chubby side, permanently moving in and out of diets and finding it very hard to stick at any sort of exercise. Pole has changed all of the above. Finally I have found an exercise that while at times I may be a little frustrating for my instructors :-) because I take forever to pick up the moves. I enjoy and has really helped with my co-ordination, and given me the will power to stick at a diet, while also really helping me shift the pounds. From the instructors I have found continual sources of inspiration, and encouragement, from a team of dedicated professionals. No matter how many times I may behave like a child throwing my toys out of the pram as I am on the verge of giving up on the move they are trying to teach me. Despite all of this they coach and enthuse me, always finding new and simpler ways to break the move down so I can conquer it. I have gained a lot both from the private lessons and the classes, not to mention the jam sessions that give you a chance just to have a mess around and get to know the others. Pole is a fantastic sport and I would really recommend Pippa and the polenastics team, they are absolute legends. Setting aside the exercise aspect, it has been a great opportunity to get to know some other fantastic people and I have made a lot of brilliant friends!! Definately a great way to shed some of those mince pie pounds :-)

• New Me!!!

  I started polenastics in Jan 2009 after I was told it could help my confidence....... Being a sufferer of Post Natal Depression I lost all my self-esteem and confidence and gave up all my activites. I was told about pole and thought I would look into it. I emailed them with my fears and they sent me a message back reassuring me so I took a deep breath and went for it. I turned up and was surprised at all the shapes and sizes, and how friendly everyone was. Pippa my Instructor was so supportive and great fun, and once the fear wore off I started to enjoy myself (something I had not done in a while) A year on I can climb, spin and hang upside down, and when my busy life allows I look forward to going and catching up with my new friends.............For any Mum who is needing some 'me' time and a boost give it a go....... And finally thanks Pippa xx

• The best fitness class around!!

  I became a personal trainer 6 years ago, so after years in gyms etc I have tried most fitness crazes, but pole fitness is totally different. It's so much fun that sometimes you forget you're exercising! I started going to classes 6 months ago and after my 1st class I realised any nerves I had were silly. Everyone was friendly and the instructors are so helpful and friendly, they inspire me to be better and learn more, and i still watch them in amazement. Since then I have caught the pole bug and I just can't get enough! Not only has it made my body feel a lot more toned but the moves make you feel free, elegant and graceful... and that's addictive!

• Best thing since Sliced Bread (and I love sliced bread)...

  I can’t tell you how many times the following words have come out of my mouth over the last few years: "right, this time I am going to stick at it, gym everyday, and NO bad food!”. Every time, I start with all the good intentions in the world and after a couple of weeks (more often than not a couple of days) I get bored and de-motivated and it all goes to pot. Or at least that’s how it was until Jan 2009 when a friend suggested I come along to a Polenastics lesson with her. Nervous and a little bit excited I went to my first lesson and haven’t looked back since. The Polenastics classes are welcoming, fun and upbeat and the instructors are so enthusiastic and encouraging – I trust them (a must when you are upside down!) and strangely I want to keep learning and keep pushing myself to show them how far I have come! I haven’t felt nervous since that first lesson, I just feel excited about what I’ll learn next. Now the words so frequently coming out of my mouth are “sure, I’ll give that a go” and “let me try it one more time, I want to get it right”! Polenastics classes have been something that I have enjoyed and has kept me motivated to be fit more than any Gym membership could (and more toned), I’ve made some great new friends along the way, and most importantly it has given me confidence in myself and what I can achieve! Give it a try – you might find you love it!

• Polenastics Rules!!!

  I started pole fitness with polenastics in early 2009. I wont lie, before my 1st lesson I was sooo nervous I felt sick, I expected to walk in to a room full of barbie dolls. I couldn't have been more wrong! when I arrived everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I have been taught by quiet a few of the instructors and they have all been very supportive, encoraging and to make it better they made excercise fun! a total must! Each lesson i go to my addiction grows, I currently go to at least 2 lessons a week and like to get between 2 and 10 hours in at home if I can. In the past year I have seen my body shape change so much though the toning pole fitness others, don't miss out! give it a try!!!

• Re: Polenastics Rules!!!

  2 and 10 hours at home... OMG you really are addicted - fantastic! So glad something so much fun has the benefits of making you fitter, leaner and more confident. Anyone who can hang from a pole by their left (or right) knee does get one heck of a confid

• Great way to get fit AND a brilliant conversation piece!

  Suitable for any age and any shape- and I am! Fun and friendly, the instructors really know their stuff, and are helpful and encouraging. I'm now doing three hours a week and love it! I also love it when I can drop it into a conversation with work colleagues!

• Great for Fun and Fitness!

  I thought I'd only last one session but it really is good fun and everyone is really helpful and friendly. Two months on and I'm starting 3 hours a week and feeling much fitter than before.
