Guilty Pleasure of the Week!

This week’s “Hot and Sultry” Guilty Pleasure goes Pole Fitness Miami. My best girlfriend and I have been talking about enrolling in a pole dancing class since 2009 and we finally did it thanks to Pole Fitness Miami! What an unexpected, amazing experience that we will remember for a lifetime. Susan Hilferty, Pole Fitness Miamiowner and fitness extraordinaire, began her dance studies at age seven with the School of American Ballet (SAB). During her 10 years at SAB, she was chosen to perform with The New York City Ballet at the State Theatre in Lincoln Center. Hilferty is no stranger to dance as a former Miami Hurricane cheerleader/dancer and Miami Heat dancer. Pole Fitness Miamiblends art with exercise just as much as yoga, pilates, ballet, jazz and modern dance. Hilferty greets her dancers/customers with a glass of champagne on arrival and makes everyone feel extremely comfortable. She provides her patrons with a non-stop dancing schedule for working women, stay at mom and basically anyone that is interested in getting in shape in a sexy, fun way! For more details on our pole dancing experience, please check out the “Get Your Sexy Back” article to be posted on Gavel Babble Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Enjoy!

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

You are amazing…I hope you realize that! I also want to thank you for changing my life in a postive way. Since I have been taking class the obvious advantage has been my weight loss. The less obvious is that I am even more determined to master this and own being a vixen! ;-) Of all the exercises programs I have tried in the last 15 years..this is the ONLY one that has kept me interested and allowed me to have so much fun and meet such amazing women such as yourself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the tips of my shoes! ~Keri

My first introduction to pole dancing was at a girlfriends party. I had such a great time, not only was my body sore from getting a great work out but, my face hurt from laughing so hard! It was so fun for us girls to get together and be silly, sexy, and get a great workout! I had so much fun I scheduled my own party. Some of my girlfriends are very athletic and some had questions regarding a weight limit on the pole. All of them had a great time and wanted more! Some were better at trying different tricks on the bar like we were back on the play ground in elementary school and others were better at making each move look sensual. We all got a great work out and had a blast! A few of us are now in the weekly classes and we are all dropping weight!! On another note, my husband and I have been "playing" a lot more. I feel more sensual and I think for him, just the thought of me going to these classes has "inspired" him more too! It’s a win/win for us!! ~Kirsten

Love the new classy location in Coral Gables! Never thought pole dancing could be so graceful and FUN! After just 3 pole sessions, my legs and abs are getting stronger and looking better. I literally can’t wait for the next lesson and find myself mentally rehearsing to each song I hear during the day! I highly recommend Pole Fitness Studio Miami for any age and fitness level.~Nannette H.

This is great for any age, not only does it boost your self esteem and confidence but it is a kick ass work out. I haven’t had so much fun plus meeting such great people. ~Heidi

I signed up for the 5 week class and now I am hooked! I never thought I could learn so many ways to be sexy and confident with myself. I thought that there is no way that I am going to be able to pull this off, but by then end of the class I learned a whole routine, I amazed myself. I find myself talking about your classes all the time to co-workers, family, and friends, encouraging all of them that they can be sexy too and feel great doing it. I was a little embarrassed the first class thinking that all the women there were going to be tiny girls with perfectly toned bodies. I soon found out that you welcome all women no matter the age, shape, or size. I believe that is why I keep going back and the fact that this studio and teachers are my new idol, They are so inspirational and motivating. If you are thinking about taking a class…..do it!!!! You won’t regret it!! Thank you Susan for bringing the inner Goddess out in me!! Kimberly

I did the 5 week session in South Beach and LOVED it! Pole Dancing is done very tastefully and its all about letting your inner goddess out with no one else giving judgement. All the ladies just have fun with the class and help one another out if you get stuck on learning a new move. I found it to be a great source of exercise that can tone your legs, butt, and arms. Other people also took notice and asked what exercise regime do I use. I look forward to returning again, I highly recommend every women at least try out one class. Stephanie C.

Well first off thank you for being so polite and courteous with her. When she came home she had an awesome glow about her and she couldn’t stop with the compliments of your class. Just personally I think it is awesome for a woman, like my wife, to get out of the box for a bit, have some fun, and most of all feel sexy. She is extremely happy and is having fun. I have not seen her like this in a long time, and trust me she deserves it!!! So from me to you…THANK YOU~ Ryan (husband of new student)

I decided to give it a try by myself and I’ve been attending classes for almost 10 months! The workout is wonderful - focusing on the core and upper body strength - areas that I needed concentration on! The atmosphere of the class itself is 90% of the reason to attend! The instructors are wonderful. They are encouraging and work with your strengths to help you achieve a new moves and raised confidence. The ladies in the class work together, encouraging you and celebrating each success - and believe me - when you finally nail that spin that you just can’t seem to get… it is a success! The confidence I’ve gained from Pole Dancing has also worked it’s way into my daily life - I feel stronger and sexier - and neither are a bad thing to feel! D~

I have been a regular student at pole fitness miami since the end of last summer. I had always worked out and tried to stay in shape, however, workouts at the age of 30 had become a chore and something to be dreaded. I went out on a limb and signed up for 20 class package and even attended class by myself, not knowing a single person. I LOVED it!! The instructors are amazing and they create such a safe and comfortable environment each class. I have learned so much since my first class and it has become a true addiction and new found love. Pole dancing has boosted my self esteem and it makes me feel good about my body that I have always been so hard on. I am doing inversions on the pole now that I never thought I could accomplish. I have come to love the girls that attend and the awesome instructors. I have never felt uncomfortable or embarrassed in class. Everyone is so encouraging and uplifting. Pole dancing will ALWAYS now be a part of my life!!! It is a hard core workout and I wake up sore after every class. Hard to believe that I FINALLY found something that I enjoy so much and that gives me a hard workout at the same time. Every women should experience pole dancing! ~ Carrie

Susan,“Wow” the year has gone by so quickly and to imagine I’ve been with you since you first opened. It has been an amazing year for me I have to say that pole fitness is by far the best work out. It is so much fun “like you said you get hooked after you try it.” I wouldn’t have the confidence in myself that I have and couldn’t have come this far. Your pole junkie, ~Jessica

I took your awesome class Tues. March 4th. I wanted to let you know that I loved the intro class and have not stopped thinking of that evening since I was there. You guys are terrific and I had one of the best times of my life there. I have always wanted to do this. I have practiced all my moves a lot since the class as best as I can w/out a pole. My thighs are sore on a daily basis…..YEAH!!!! I am going to purchase a pole and sign up for a session class. ~Sharleen

Thank you very much the class was amazing and I’m looking forward to taking more classes with you ~Sara

Sounds Great! My girlfriends and I enjoyed the class last night — we felt the burn! We would like to register for the 5-week class you are offering on Wednesday night.~Aileen N

Hello! My friend Tara and I had a blast! Thanks! We signed up for the Sunday classes. ~Amanda

I just wanted to let you know I had so much fun in my first class on Wed I cant wait till next week you guys are great thanks again….~Candice

I just wanted to tell you that last night was a complete and utter blast! I woke up this morning sore, but ready to strut my stuff again! Thank you for bring this to Miami first.~Brandi

I had a great time in class…it was sooooo much fun…I’ve already signed up for the lap vegas class Yes, my arms, thighs, and knees…yes, knees are all sore….thank you!!!! You ladies are great and keep up the good work!! I love your enthusiasm thanks again~Carla

Best Bachelorette Party! 5 Star Rating - World class
By jenny654

We had our Pre Bachelorette Party at Pole Fitness Miami. It was a BLAST! We learned to Pole Dance! Who would have ever thought I would be a Pole Dancer! I loved it! I want to go back and join for a great workout! My body was sore for 3 days and I used muscles I have not used in a long time. I thought you had to be really fit to perform these beautiful pole tricks, which I am not, and I still got the pole trick. We had a blast the instructor- was so knowledgeable and hilariously entertaining. We had so much Fun with the Bride, we took lots of GREAT pictures to show to our husbands and boyfriends and it was a memory I will share for a lifetime. Thank you.. Thank you... for such a wonderful Bachelorette Party! This is exactly what Miami needed, I will be a consistent student to the POLE!
Pros: Great instructor, Great Music, Great for a Bachelorette Party
Every class is like a girls night out! 5 Star Rating - World class
By BrandylT23

I've been a member of the Pole Fitness Miami before it got it's more luxurious studio and I have to say I am not in the least bit surprised it has grown into the amazing business that it is today.....and it's no where near done. I have such a blast at the classes, meeting new women, learning fun moves, testing my strength and agility on the pole. It's nothing like usual fitness classes that have impersonal instructors and even more impersonal members who act like robots and never acknowledge each other. I love that it's a combination of fun, fitness, and networking.
Finally, a Pole Dancing class in Miami!!! 5 Star Rating - World class
By cynthia

I've been looking for an accessible, affordable option to increase my pole fitness skills. This is the best place. Friendly, proficient instructors...a variety of classes and other services to boot. Pay as you go oe buy a monthly package. This is a no brainer for any woman who wants to approach fitness from another angle.
Pros: So many different classes to choose from

Wow what fun 5 Star Rating - World class
By waverly56

!What a great idea! My mom took belly dancing lessons when I was a kid to get in shape and I thought she was crazy! I found myself looking for the exact same thing in San Francisco a few years ago but fount it to bee too cost prohibitive. This place, you can get Dance, Yoga, Power Yoga, Pole Dancing, Sensual Dance, and Exotic Dance all under one membership! You can pay as you go or even have a Bachelorette Party, Girls Nite Out, or Birthday Celebration at their location with instructional classes and more! What a fantastic Female Support/ Women's Group! This is Fitness for Women on a whole new level! I am going to Dance for Fitness and for the love of life at this place! Whoo hoo!
Pros: The best fitness value I have found yet!
Cons: limited class size so sign up quick!

AWESOME! 5 Star Rating - World class
By alli23

I found Pole Fitness Miami on accident walking around Coral Gables/Miami one afternoon and I'm so glad I did! Classes are small and personal, everyone is really friendly and supportive, plus you get a great workout! I've taken every class offered and haven't been let down yet! I had looked for a fitness communiy like this one and until now have had no luck. It's a must for any woman looking to boost her self esteem and tone her body! Try it you can get a membership or pay as you go. If you want a more private feel one on one lessons are available. It?s really more than a workout it?s a place to be a woman and express yourself!
Pros: Ambiance, Great Instructors, Friendly Members, Good Workout, FUN

Best Dance Class in Town!! 5 Star Rating - World class
By Trinag

I love the classes at Pole Fitness Miami! I've been looking for something where I can have fun and exercise at the same time. Pole Fitness Miami Studios is the place. The studio is very nice, and spacious, and the instructors take the time to make sure you learn something new every session. It's great for friends to do together, birthday parties, and even bachelorette parties!

You'll wanna go again and again! 5 Star Rating - World class
By Mattydance

I started going to Pole Fitness Studio Miami when my daughter was 11 months old. It was difficult at first, but soon, I could fly around the pole. It's been about three months, and the effects on my body are AMAZING! I have tone and strength that are better than before I was pregnant.

And best off all, it's strength for movement. I occasionally have to move and get behind my clothes dryer to work on it. It is so much EASIER since I've been working out at Pole Fitness Miami.

It's also been great for my spirit. I have a safe outlet to explore my sensuality, something I don't get to do much since I became Mommy. It is so empowering to workout, smoothly moving from one move to another, among a group of women. You can just relax and express yourself without any worries of folks "taking it wrong."

I'm also getting to fulfill my childhood fantasy of doing gymnastics. I don't mind pushing my muscles because it's so much fun!

TRY IT!!
Pros: I've gotten so much stronger
Cons: It's addictive!

Confidence in 1 class 5 Star Rating - World class
By shelly w

I have been going to class and I have fallen in love with dancing all over again. She teaches you how to be flirty and confident each class. I am so happy to have found Pole Fitness Miami! I feel so much better about myself and now have the confidence I need to be the best pole dancer my boyfriend have and will ever see! Thanks so much and look forward to many more classes!
Pros: Best class to gain confidence and feel younger!
Cons: You get addicted and want to go more and more!

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio
To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It
is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to
90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone...
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and
parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey
is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never
blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19.. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up
to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an
answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.
Don't save it for a special occasion.. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will
this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or
didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd
grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come..
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

POLE FREE FLOW -is a 2 hour combination class where students learn how to use the choreography they have learned in levels 1-3 to develop a pole free flow movement. This class is structured to free expression, investigate form and heighten concentration. Structured pole dance improvisational problems are given to lead students to simultaneously invent and perform movement without pre-planning. Each class includes a warm-up followed by many changing forms, group movements, solos and various pole spin combination s. Students learn how to listen to music and act on creative impulse due to the different components of music: rhythm, melody and harmony. This class helps to bring out the best in you gracefully, thoughtlessly as you swing, slide and dance your way around the pole. Pole levels 1-3 are a pre-requisite for Pole Free Flow.

Pole dancing is a Fitness and Weight Loss Program!
Pole dancing is growing in popularity and becoming more recognized as a fitness and weight loss program. Pole dancing is a combination of strength training, cardie, and stretching that builds both muscular strength and endurance. Today, more women are seeking a fun way to exercise and burn calories outside traditional exercises and sports.

Pole Fitness Miami’s pole dancing classes uniquely combines this sensual dance with fitness. These classes specifically use the pole as a tool for resistance training while the women learn the artistic dance. Pole fitness Miami has designed classes to provide women both anaerobic and aerobic workouts to accelerate weight loss. The nature of the deep body inversions, climbs, and spins continuously raises the heart rate up and in return builds muscle tone, flexibility, and confidence.

Pole Fitness Miami reaches out to all women and seeks to spread the amazing dance form. More and more women today are joining pole dancing classes to experience the new fitness phenomenon.

Pole Dancing The Pounds Away!

2008-12-17T16:30:00.000-05:00

Pole Dancing Away the Pounds and the Popularity of Pole Dancing

Once reserved for topless dancers and celebrities who have grown bored of yoga, pole dancing has worked its way out of bars and into dance/fitness studios all over the world. Pole dancing, I believe is no longer a phase but is here to stay. Once the domain of strippers wearing G-strings in seedy bars, pole dancing has emerged as a popular exercise for women who want to feel sexy while they tone their bodies. My studio is attracting students, professional women and even grandmothers. Three years ago when I opened my doors most people hadn’t heard of pole dancing at all. Now there isn’t the assumption that I am a stripper ( or my friends thinking what the hell happened to Suzie) anymore and teaching girls how to be strippers. People are now noticing that pole dancing is a great way to lose weight so let me take you through how all the hype started.

The trend began around 2001, when a former dancer and actress named Sheila Kelley decided to share the expertise she gained preparing for a role as a stripper in the film “Dancing at the Blue Iguana.” Kelley started the S Factor Workout, which combined pole dancing with other striptease elements. At the time, her company was the only one in Los Angeles offering pole-dancing lessons. I actually ended up training at this school on the west coast and did the teacher training program at her school.

Then came Oprah. Kelley demonstrated her pole techniques on an Oprah television show in 2003 titled “Releasing Your Inner Sexpot!” Actress Teri Hatcher of “Desperate Housewives” and other celebrities got interested, and they praised the role of the pole in developing their bodies. The good thing about S Factor is that it brought pole dancing to the mainstream. Hopefully this will now allow more women and moms in all of Miami Dade County and beyond want to take pole dancing classes.

Many women also fantasize about being a stripper, and pole dancing gives them a way to experience that fantasy in a safe, non-degrading atmosphere. As women I believe we have a deep desire to express our sexuality but have been programmed to think of pole dancing as a practice only performed in front of ogling men. Once my students bond with other women in class, there’s a noticeable change. When they try it, they realize it is also a great workout. Unlike other kinds of aerobic exercise, such as running or spinning, pole dancing offers both fitness and the chance to be creative and really let loose. Dancing in general is a great way to burn calories, but unlike other forms of dance, pole dancing integrates cardio and resistance training. It also works the core muscles in the back, the leg muscles, and especially the quadriceps and the gluteus. The arms, shoulders, and torso support your weight as you hang onto the pole. As they grow stronger it improves stability, balance, and posture. After taking a class, most women are sorer than they have ever been, even if they exercise regularly. They're sore in places they didn't even know muscles existed.

Many students install poles in their own homes which is why I sell them on my site. Students wear regular workout clothes, except instead of wearing sneakers we replaced them with 6-inch heels. I find that the heels reshape your body as well because it is like having weights put on your feet. More advanced students wear shorts to expose their legs. You stick to the pole better when you can use your skin. The great thing that I have seen since I started my business is anyone can learn pole dancing. Some of my students are ballet, jazz, and are modern/hip-hop dancers who are curious about the dance style, but many others have never danced. They figure if strippers can do it, then so can they. My clients range in ages from 18 to 60, and they come from all ethnic backgrounds and occupations. We also have women who come to the studio who are lawyers, doctors, police officers, accountants, and waitresses - all walks of life.

Getting in shape isn't the only benefit pole dancing offers. There is a great emotional release when you're pole dancing; I feel personally the happiest when I am dancing. It creates a beautiful feeling that starts from inside of me and is the closest feeling I have with God and the universe. Truly dancing is the most exciting gift I can give to another woman. When I started my journey in pole dancing I knew I had to share this will all women. Your self-esteem usually goes up because you feel more comfortable with yourself, your womanly curves, and the way your body moves. It also does not hurt that a few pole dancing moves will turn one's significant other as well into silly putty! As my business has grown, pole dancing has become a popular theme for bachelorette parties. Women are getting rid of the male stripper - they want to be the stripper.

Exercise Benefits of Pole Dancing

It is Easy for Weight Loss because you can start off out of shape and get in shape by doing this type of activity. If you want to tone your legs and get that stomach into a tighter shape, you can do it by performing the many routines that are available with Pole Dancing. This type of dancing is definitely heading towards a long term habit and no longer a fad in my opinion. The benefits to your heart and lungs are increased as you become more adept at performing the routines.
· Burning Calories - It can burn as many as 250 calories an hour which is similar to a good gym session ( so remember to sign up for at least 3 classes a week).

Tips for Using the Pole

All teachers have their own style of teaching and their own ideas of which move they deem hard. Most of the tips I am explaining below I feel are basic, but there is some cross over into intermediate to advance. All the information is just a guide. Remember there is no right or wrong way to pole dance just a safe way. As you practice you will develop your own style. It is very important to warm up and cool down. If you can improve your stretch and do the splits you can open up your routine to a great many more moves. It will also make your routine look more polished and effortless. Bare arms and legs are essential for traction to the pole. Also, do not wear any creams or lotions. This may make the pole slippery and dangerous to use. Always keep grease removing product with you to keep the pole clean and dry.

Each student is different to the next. Don’t be disheartened, we are all individual and have our own level. If you can’t get a move have a rest and come back to it. I find if a student can do a particular move one week, they can more than likely do it the next. If you are still struggling try changing your lead hand, you never know you can be ambidextrous.

Something to think about is the speed in which you would like to travel. You need to speed up and slow down depending on the music. If you lean away from the pole your spin will slow and if you lean into the pole it will speed up. The same happens if you kick your outside leg out whipping it onto the pole your spin will become faster. Basic science applies here.

The higher you are up the pole the more turns/spins you are likely to do. So if you would like to spin longer either place your hand or leg higher on the pole or you can jump into your spin. Jumping at the pole won't get you anywhere, but jumping around the pole will.

Some of the time you will have a free hand. Use this hand to stroke your torso, the pole your hair or just move your hand/arm to the beat. It is important to have your own style and make your dancing more spectacular with your movements.

Grace and flow of the movement come with practice. You need to experiment with your moves, spins and floor work to see which fit best together. If you get the right combination of moves in sequences your routine can look as if it is one continuous move. Muscle control plays a key factor in this. If you can control your abs for example, you can lower your legs at a slower rate instead of just dropping. It can help you as with any form of dance that posture is critical. Just walking around the pole with a beautiful posture is a move in itself. Your head should be held high and your shoulders should be back. Personally, I like to arch my back. When performing a spin, pose or floor work it is important that you keep legs straight when they should be straight and at right angle to the body.

Remember it is of the up most importance to point your toes when your feet are not on the floor. An inverted foot will ruin a move.

Remember pole dance is just not about the pole it is also about floor work. It is just as important to perform floor work as it is on the pole. It also gives you the opportunity to catch your breathe and add some diversity.

The more tired you become the more mistakes you are likely to make. So don’t push yourself too hard as it could result in an injury. Remember not to lose sight that this will get you in great shape but it is also meant to be fun!

Now that you have gotten some tips I believe you are ready to pole dance! Remember that if group classes are not enough to purchase private lessons and also buy a removable pole from us for your home to practice. Stay safe and can’t wait to see you in class!
