Our Mission
As the world of pole fitness grows, we at The Girl Spot are thrilled to see, among our leaders in the industry, a real commitment to safe teaching practices, which are comprised of countless hours of practical experience and knowledge of dance, gymnastics, artistic expression, and fitness in general.
Having recently become certified in the X-Pert Pole Fitness Professional Training Program, the Owner and Staff of The Girl Spot are proud and excited to launch a newly revised curriculum, allowing all of our students to experience our pole classes in a safe and effective manner.
Along with preserving the history of fun and sensual movement which sets our pole studio aside from traditional fitness programs, we are committed to excellence in teaching. We continue to further our education on an on-going basis, and strive to continue bringing you the very best in Connecticut’s alternative fitness programs.
Our History
The Girl Spot LLC was formed by women for women. Both Judy and Lee, co-owners for The Girl Spot, wanted to work out and have fun. They had both tried traditional gym memberships and group fitness classes, but nothing was as exciting as what they found next. Pole Fitness! Judy, an ex-professional entertainment dancer and mother of two and Lee, a manufacturing business owner and mother of three decided to kick their workouts up a notch. They found Pole Fitness to be an exciting and fun way to lose weight and tone their bodies.
The one pitfall that they had found about these types of alternative fitness was that there weren’t many facilities in their area that boasted a social atmosphere and a fitness regimen. Many classes that they had found were both too rigid and intense or too lax and not nearly enough to engage them. That is when they turned to their own devices and put together the idea of The Girl Spot!
The Girl Spot is alternative fitness in it’s finest form. Not only can you schedule a class and get an amazing workout, but you can blow off steam from stress at work, from the kids, or just from daily life. Working out at The Girl Spot is like having a night long dance party with your best friends and walking away with a body to show for it. The atmosphere is girl friendly – that means no boys allowed! It is also a place that is not over-sexed, but instead feminine and empowering. “We are not here to turn women into the next stripper attraction, but instead into a confident and sexy woman who loves and respects herself and her body.” The goal here is to get women of all ages and body types excited about fitness and excited about themselves.
Both Judy and Lee are CPR/AED certified and Judy is also an ACE certified Group Fitness Instructor and certified Pole Fitness Instructor.
