This is my first time to try this class and I enjoyed it. I was looking for a new exercise this new year and true enough, very new to me. The teacher is awesome! Tara is very helpful and she's amazing. I can't imagine myself doing what she's doing but I guess with practice you will be able to reach that point. There were few students at that time and everyone was helpful. I also got a great deal! Trixie and Tara was very very nice. The studio is inside the City Athletic club and it is quite enough size for a good number of students. I am inviting my girlfriends to try it with me. Not only that it's fun but it's a good way to condition the body. You need a lot of upper body strength. I salute the women who are good in this, it is not easy! I am a runner and I can run a marathon but I can't climb up the top of the pole. :). The techniques is quite amazing to learn. For those of you who wanted to try! It's worth it.
