Take Care of Yourself! - Fitness and Fun with Got Pole?

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

By now you all know how I feel about taking care of yourselves right? I mean we are women, and we are busy, and we have endless responsibilities, and we could easily ignore our needs, and it would save us lots of time, right? Wrong!


I've always found that when you invest in yourself just a little, it makes all the difference in being effective and happy with all you have to do for everyone else. Otherwise you may just burn out and end up with resentment. 
And every woman should especially make some type of exercise or fitness program a priority. Exercise helps with not only health and vitality, but also keeps you young and is a great stress buster. I do feel a little bit like a hypocrite writing this because I'm not one to do hard core or gruelling workouts on a regular basis.  For me, if I'm going to give myself time to work out, it has to be enjoyable and fun. 

So when I heard about Got Pole? I seriously fell in love with what Rochel Mermelstein, the Director of this cool fitness center, was all about. I had a little chat with Rochel, and in her own words she explains the background and philosophy of her fitness center:

          "We are an all women's dance and fitness center. We offer an array of interesting classes that make exercising a blast while making you look amazing!  We offer awesome pole classes, hip hop, belly dance,  hiphotic (R) , yoga, TRX and boot camp. Our studio is a place for women to come have lots of fun in a warm, energetic  and friendly atmosphere. 

I am a personal trainer with training in many areas from karate, yoga, strength training , hiphop to pole. I have been teaching many years and love working with the mind and body. Most of all I love when people feel great and have a great time, exercise CAN be fun!

It has always been one of my dreams to open a place where women can have a great time and be in a clean proper setting. I have had a personal training / pole studio ( one on one ) for years. Everyone who has taken pole class with me has had such amazing changes in their lives, from the way they feel to the way they look. Now with classes, we can give that over to more and more women!

Our goal is to create an environment with no judgement where women can not just come for exercise but come to enjoy themselves. We have all different types of people and the respect and learning from each other that goes on is unreal. Every one has so much to give and in our studio, you get to see that and take it with you in your daily life.

Fitness keeps you healthy , happy and feeling good. In life there are so many pressures and things to be busy with. Taking the time to work out gives us that balance to go on with positive energy , which affects everything we do.

We have lots of classes, although our main attraction is the pole class.  Our pole class is based on a mix of yoga, ballet, and gymnastics. It is an amazing work out, but even more, it is a mind and body workout. We learn to connect to sound in a way you never have, and use it to dance. It is emotional and fun at the same time. Our class helps women love who they are and not feel the need to always be what ever all the pressures say we need to be. Women float out of class completely uplifted. "

So there you have it. I wish I lived closer because I seriously would sign up ASAP for one of these amazing classes. Besides for having such great options in exercise, I personally love Rochel's attitude and outlook, which I'm sure her fitness center is infused with.

If you live in the world, definitely look into taking care of yourself this summer. If you live in Brooklyn, USA, here's a fun and easy way to do it: Sign up for one of these classes!

  2. Yesterday I did say tomorrow and truth be told... today I'll probably say tomorrow. Ugh. I would feel like a complete fool taking a pole class I think. I am sure I would giggle like a 12 year old the entire time, prove how ungraceful and klutzy I am and they would probably kick me out! xo
