Groupon customers may redeem this deal for either a combo of a PoleINTRO class and a Pole45 fitness class, or two poleINTRO classes (must take PoleINTRO prior to Pole45). A full schedule of class times is listed here. Today's Groupon makes a thoughtful gift for undiscovered prodigies, retired firefighters, and fitness gurus.

Defy convention and gravity with each workout in the lively, disco-ball-infused studio. Melanie, owner and one of PoleFIT's patient and knowledgeable instructors, brings years of experience in addition to certifications in Pilates and personal training. Calling up this sturdy knowledge base, Melanie can tailor a workout from pole to pole for athletes of all body types. In your PoleINTRO class, you’ll learn the basic moves you need to undertake pole fitness, as well as some basic pole-dance tricks. You’re welcome to stick with the introductory class for another go round the pole, or you can advance to Pole45, a mixed-level pole-fitness class that will have you sweating, swinging, and spinning in just 45 minutes.

Harness the power of your curvaceous body to build confidence and muscle tone. Pole fitness combines elements of ballet, yoga, and striptease (though you won't be shedding clothes in your class) to strengthen your core and keep you limber. As the seductress embedded deep within makes her way to the surface, you'll engage rarely used muscles, sometimes resulting in day-after pangs of soreness and a confident saunter.
