The classes at Lady Katherine provide all the benefits of other fitness options (improved cardio respiratory endurance, flexibility, muscular strength and endurance) delivered in an environment designed exclusively for women. A place where women come to relax, be themselves, have fun and build relationship - while they are getting fit.
However, the most significant difference in the classes that are offered at Lady Katherine are the benefits that go beyond the physical: improved confidence and self-assurance, integration of mind/body/essence - that’s why we refer to the Lady Katherine experience as a “make-over from the inside out.”
Some of the benefits provided by feminine movement:
- Strong, toned body
- Burn as many calories as an average high/low impact aerobics class
- Increased overall flexibility and range of motion, especially in the spine/back
- Enhanced blood flow to the spine alleviating many forms of back pain
- Puts you in touch with your sensual self
- Significant reduction in pms and menstrual symptoms
- Improved posture
- Increased confidence and self-assurance
- Internal organs are gently massaged as you workout, creating a higher level of functionality in your body systems (including endocrine, digestive, reproductive)
- Makes you feel and look extraordinary
- Opens up the hip and pelvic region (chakras)
- An important, indispensable part of finding and developing your true essence
- Increased confidence, physical awareness and self-knowledge
- Pleasurable, natural, organic movement
- Greater freedom of movement
All of our classes are designed for all women - regardless of size, age or fitness level- we meet you where you're at.
I know it seems like you'd have to be super strong in your upper body, but really the classes I will be teaching initially do not require a lot of strength. The majority of your ability will lie in your confidence and desire to do well. Pole dancing requires more agility, balance and motivation
than strength. But strength will come with time and practice.
YES! The vast majority of our students become strong and toned, develop better posture and flexiblity - and lose weight! We recommend that students take a minimum of three classes a week - preferably one pole fitness, one signature and one pole dance - that way you are improving your cardio respiratory endurance, flexibility, and muscular strength and endurance- and of course all come with confidence building and empowerment on the side. If you want to lose weight and tone up faster - we recommend adding one more pole fitness class and another class of your choice so your'e working out five times a week - that will really tone and re-shape any body fast!
We're all a little uncertain of any new situation or experience and trust me you are in the majority! About halfway through the first class, sometimes not until the end (for some students) there's something inside that 'switches', and there is less nervous laughter - instead students begin to smile more, to feel more free to express themselves - to allow themselves to let go, enjoy and have fun. I wait for that look on their faces - it is the ultimate reward!
Is there a weight restriction for the pole classes? Women of all shapes, fitness levels and sizes take pole classes. However, the recommended capacity of the poles for spins is 225 pounds.
Because all of our classes are fitness classes - please wear comfortable work-out/yoga type clothing. I like long pants so I can roll them up for extra knee cushion when we're doing floor work - capris are good too.
For your feet: Pole Fitness is done in tennis shoes, Pole Dance is done barefoot or heels, and our Signature Class is done barefoot, with heels at the end.
Sorry - no. We want our students to feel comfortable and secure at all times.
Our studio has 15 poles and because we do not want anyone sharing a pole (you're here to work out, not wait around doggoneit!) our Pole Dance and Pole Fitness classes have a maximum student capacity of 14, Lady K Signature classes can comfortably accommodate up to 20.
There are several ways to get started. You can take classes on a drop-in basis - just make sure you register first because classes fill up fast. You can join a session at any time too. Classes run in sessions of 6 weeks each. Registration begins three weeks prior to the beginning of a session - but you can start after a session is already underway, we just pro-rate the pricing.
