| - People that know me know I hate the gym. I hate workouts that feel like a workout, which is why I am a yogi. I don't work out, I work IN. But to keep life fresh and fun, I'm always looking for new things to challenge my mind and body. I first tried out this place thanks to a YEE, and I have been back for about 6 classes since! I usually feel pretty strong and confident in all my yoga classes, but this is pole hunny!! There's more pulling than pushing like in yoga, and a TON of core as I had imagined.
But don't be scared to come if you feel like you're not strong enough or flexible enough. You get strong and flexible by doing this. And you'll have tons of fun and even go upside down, yes even in a Level 1 class!
Tracie is the lead instructor, and the girl is a freaking BEAST! Not only is she super strong and graceful, but a very good teacher; plus she's friendly, and easy to connect with. I don't understand how she can teach as many classes a day as she does. She demos everything and does the entire warm up and conditioning exercises with us.
The studio is located in the back of the gift shop of Deja Vu, weird but then again not. It makes sense. I don't really mind it, and an adult store is literally the last place you'd find me....well maybe not anymore. (I mean bc of this studio!) The space itself is a long rectangle with the poles staggered, plenty of room for each student. I like the setup and it works if you want to video yourself practicing. No one behind you. There's lockers provided, but you can bring your stuff inside the room as well; either option is fine. And you can bring your own stuff--knee pads, mats, socks, etc, or they will be provided for you.
Parking up front can be a little tight if you have a large car like I do, and there aren't many spaces, but you can also park in back and enter from the back door as well.
