* Hi my name is Heather and like many people I was struggling with my weight. I started to put on weight when I turned seventeen and in less than one year I went from being a hundred pounds to over one hundred and eighty pounds, seven years later, yes I have been over weight for seven years. I had tried everything I could think of to lose weight - diets, workouts, diet pills, smoothie only diet and still the weight was always there, going up and down. Then finally I realized that if I don’t like doing what I am doing then I won’t stick to it and the weight will just come back. So I started to look into a fun workout. Tabo…ooooh that was a good one! I ended up tripping over my feet and never moving to the right beat.
Then I saw Vertical Fitness Studio….this is a long shot I thought to myself. I am horrible at dancing and the idea of me moving sexy had me rolling on the floor laughing at myself. But then I realized that I had tried everything else so why not. IT WAS AMAZING, awkward…yes, off center…most definitely, no rhymes…yup that was me, no upper body strength and far too heavy that is how I felt at first. Yet after every class, I walked away with a little less body fat, a little more muscle and feeling sexier and sexier about myself…it was a hit and I was in love, not to mention my fiance loves to ask what moves I learned after each class. Which lead to buying the first pole for our house, I guess he got tired of only hearing about the moves, plus it is nice to be able to practice at home.
Now I am THIRTY…yes it is true THIRTY pounds lighter then I was three months ago and loving life and most important loving myself.
I am even wearing shorts which I haven't done in over three years. Vertical Fitness Studio is a blast! It is everything a women looks for in a workout. It tones every part of your body and you always walk away feeling sexy about yourself, which is something I never felt when I walked away from the gym. I will admit the first few classes, I knew that I was in love with Vertical Fitness but not so sure about how I looked while doing or attempting to do the moves. But, three months later and I am taking level two classes and I am confident in every move that I do. Even if I can't get the move right the first few tries, I know that in the end, with some practice, that I can make the moves look good. Not to mention the more I work on making the moves look good, the more weight I lose and the stronger I get….it a bonus all around. Look sexy, lose weight and tone my body….the only left to do is tan for bathing suit season. ~ Heather
* Like most of you reading this right now, when I first heard of Pole Fitness, I thought "I would really like to try that". So after lurking on VFS website for some time, I finally jumped in and signed up for a class. At first I had some apprehensions in regards to a genetic hip condition that I have, and thought I might not be able to handle the different pole moves; some days I have a lot of pain, and my range of motion in my hip is not like it use to be. One class is all it took, I was hooked. And like a true addict, I can't get enough of these classes! The instructors are AMAZING! They are so much fun, and so helpful and patient. They spend individual time with each person to make sure that we "get" the move, spin or hip roll right. If there's something that I'm not comfortable doing, they will modify it for me so that I still look hot and amazing doing it. In just 2 months time, my arms are completely toned (yes, I am selling tickets to the gun show), I have finally busted through that pesky plateau that I have been on since the beginning of time, and at the 80's themed office Halloween party: I wore what is now considered my vintage 1989 Prom dress-and trust me, everyone knew that was my actual prom dress. (It's been 21 years, the fact that I still have it, let alone fit in it [easily I might add] is something I wanted to shout from the roof top) Oh, and about my hip, which is by far the coolest part for me: the pain has decreased significantly and the range of motion has improved greatly. I have been able to almost completely stop taking pain pills which was a daily occurrence before. My only regret is that I should have stopped lurking and walked in sooner! So come and let your inner Diva out! ~ Jennifer Sykes
