| "Michaela, I've been wanting to tell you this for a while, but it never seemed appropriate until you sent this note regarding your reflections on your business anniversary. I want you to know how much you are appreciated - and that you have changed my life! I truly believe that your teaching style, personality, and skill have put me on the road to saving my life....going from no exercise into your classes back in November gave me the confidence that I can exercise without feeling intimidated. A few months ago, I would never imagine that I would now hold a gym membership, much less actually use it :) You gave me that confidence and got me moving again. You are the one that set a lifestyle change in motion, and I'm sure I'm not the first one you've motivated to do so. You are doing great things, and if you've accomplished all of this in four years, I can't wait to see where you are in another four years! ~ R. Richardson |
| "I started at The P Spot because I despise exercise of any kind and this seemed like a better approach to getting fit while having fun. Michaela makes each class go by quickly, however with the pain (good pain) that I felt the day after my first class, I would have never guessed It was only in class for 45 minutes. Each class hits different muscles in my body, including muscles that I did not even know I had! Right now I am trying to get toned for my wedding on June 5th. Michaela's encouragement as well as the support of the other classmates has helped in this process. Not only is The P Spot a good source of exercise but it also boosts self esteem and allows everyone to find their inner sexy!" ~ V. Wang |
| "Is it possible to love and hate a thing as much as I loved and hated my first PoleFit class? Michaela, thank you for being as patient as you were about reminding me not to stand in my own way during class! You are a wonderful teacher and I look forward to taking PoleFit I as many times as necessary until I am ready for [PoleFit] Level 2!! Thanks again and see you soon." ~C. Brooks |
| "Thank you so much! I think you have a new group of The P Spot Converts!" ~ J. Simpson |
| "I had my first class (strip aerobics)and it was truly an inspiration for me, because when it comes to exercise, hurting and realized there were muscles in my body that I didn't even know existed, (but it's nothing that a little soak in the bath with Epsom salt won't heal.) I suffer chronic lower back problems, and every morning I wake up with cramps in my back - prior to attending your class I thought about not going because I didn't want my back to hurt although I had sore legs & knees, my back felt a little better than normal. I couldn't complete the entire class without stopping to take a breather and wondering if you were going to ever give us a water break. But that work out you gave me made me realize that I need to get in shape, stay in shape and learn how to "bring it Up Sexy" Hopefully by the time I reach my birthday in December (3 mos away)and continue your classes, I will be able to bring it up ALL the way sexy! It takes a lot to be sexy. Thank you Ms. Michaela" ~ N. Reaves |

| "Thanks for an awesome couple of classes last night. The pole is seriously the best dance partner I’ve ever had!... It’s strong, always there when you need it and it doesn't throw temper-tantrums." ~J. Denson |
| "The P Spot has really helped get back into physical shape and at the same time boost my confidence. I am currently in physical therapy for quad/ham injuries and my therapist encourages me to continue with PoleFit. It has helped heal my injuries faster. I also feel sexy and while sweating it out! Keep up the good work Michaela and hope to see you for the Retreat!" ~ L. Robbins |

| "we look forward to seeing you for another hour of sheer torture...I mean bliss!" ~ T. Whaley |
| "I attended The P Spot for the first time today and was very impressed. Typically I hate doing any kind of group workouts, I used to run 5 miles a day but my work schedule has caused me to become lazy and totally out of shape. I have found a new love, The P Spot will be my new best friend. Thank you so much Michaela." ~ M. Crawford |
| "I felt so SEXY doing the Strip Aerobics and Chairwork at my friend's B-Day Party. I can't wait till I get a man worthy of me performing those moves Michaela taught me and my girls!" ~ M. Munford |
| "I would like to say What a Workout! Michaela, Girl U Got It Going ON! I was so sore for the next 3 days after that workout. I was there May 6th 2009 with my daughter Angela and her Bridal Party. We all had so much fun. I been telling everyone and passing out your cards. I hope to get a group together to come see you again. Love that Pole. Thank you so much for bringing in a new and exciting fitness routine. You have motivated me to get fit again starting out on my gym equipment again. Again THANK YOU" ~ L. Beck |
| "I want to say "thank you" from all of the girls! We had the most amazing time on Saturday. I couldn't believe how free everyone was. You made all of us feel sexy and strong and we had a great time doing it. Most of us were also a little sore the next day...what a great work out!!" ~ M. Bailey |

| "The P Spot is your Answer!" ~ The Washington Post |
| "I took my first PoleFit 1 class on Valentine's Night. Much like a tatoo, it felt like someone was beating me, but I have to go back. I think I have found my new addiction." ~ Gypsy |
| "The shoes are a great addition to my wardrobe but the DVD is the BEST!! You are awesome and I can't wait to get started on some of your classes...if I turn out half as good as you, I'll be ecstatic! I just had surgery so I have a 6 week recovery period before I get to work out again and I can't wait. Thanks and I look forward to taking classes with you soon..." ~ M. Taylor |
| "Each Saturday I wake up and look forward to my workout in the "Chair Class." Thanks to you, Michaela, I now have adopted a girly girl sport!! Where I can sweat like a man but still remain sexy like a woman!!" ~ C. Whaley |
| Hey Michaela, We had the best time ever learning from you. My friends and I can't stop talking about how much fun we had. We can't wait to come back (after the pain stops). ~ S. Cessum |
| "Michaela, I simply cannot thank you enough for your enthusiasm, your accommodating attitude, and your undoubted style and grace! Girl, that StripFit class was awesome! My friends and I had a BALL. We have been texting all day talking about how sore we are and how we cannot wait to come to your studio again. You have truly given us a new way to appreciate our bodies! Thanks a TON!" ~ T. Harrison |
| "Everyone cannot stop talking about how much of a great time they had thanks to you...My Bachlorette Party was a complete success... Thank you again and cant wait to take a group class with you at your studio BC I can barely walk; that is how great of a work out pole party was..." ~ K. Stobo |
| "LOVE the Chairwork class and LOVE having my own shoes! Once you get over the initial pain and soreness, the moves start to come together and it feels so "cool" to work on bringing it up sexy. I can't help myself from practicing moves whenever I find a private mirror! How can that much work be SO MUCH FUN?" ~ S. Dupuis |
| "The girls and I had such a great time this past weekend at the Chairwork class. Seriously, it is 12 noon on Monday and the three of us are still sore!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and a killer workout. There is no doubt in my mind that we will all be back to take more classes." ~ C. Wheeler |
| "...Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to my fitness goals. I could not have gotten to where I am without you. You have truly motivated me physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thanks a million plus a million plus infinity!You rock!" ~ T. Skinner |
| We had a wonderful time when all was said and done. You were professional and an awesome instructor. Great birthday present...help me reach my goal of getting in shape at age 29! Many of us will be returning in the future! Thanks." ~ S. Tyehimba |
| "I attended the class the pole class this weekend for a Bachelorette party...it was not only so much fun, but it was such a great workout!!! I am still sore, but the pain was absolutely worth it! I only wish I lived in the area...I will definitely be back with my girls to enjoy a great workout!!! Thanks again for teaching us how to "bring it up sexy"...I know my boyfriend was happy to check out my new moves." ~ L. N. Bonne |
| "I have tried many different types of fitness personal training. Nothing has toned my body as effectively as the workouts with Michaela. Her classes are amazing and extremely challenging. I feel the best I have ever felt and who knew it was so much fun to "bring it up sexy." ~ S. Posner |
| "The pole class was DEFINITELY a major highlight of my Bachelorette party - everyone got comfortable with each other and had such a great bonding experience at the class. So much fun! And yes, I am still feeling it. Michaela - thanks so much - I will continue to Bring It Up Sexy as a bride!" ~ M. Hyland |
| "MICHAELA, I had a wonderful time last night! Man oh man...the pain I felt once I went home and woke up this morning was no joke! I never knew I had all those different muscles in my body; muscles that I had never used (lol). That was truly a very nice workout...I'll be back!" ~ L. Lee |
| "Every time I go to class I have to remember body. But the pain has never been so much that the pain is just the weakness leaving the fun, nor has it ever gotten me such great results! Thanks to The P Spot I have lost about 14 lbs in the past two and a half months! I plan to double that - so I now have fitness goals and fitness rewards - a new pair of shoes or boots earned is just another reason to keep trying to bring it up, sexy!®" ~ K. Herter |
| "I took my first class 3/11 Strip Aerobics. I made it less than halfway through the class in the shoes and had to take them off...but I put them back on after the break. I thought I was in good shape from my Pilates classes but I was so sore I could barely walk for the next 3-4 days! I have taken 4 classes since that first class and I am definitely hooked! Each class in uniquely different (and difficult) but definitely enjoyable and worth it. I am sure that with Michaela's help and a lot of hard work, I will achieve my goal of losing 15 pounds before June 12th. Thank you for the fun and inspiration! I can't get the soundtracks out of my head and I now find myself thinking of the moves whenever I hear a song from the classes. Can't wait until I have enough experience to practice at home!" ~ C. James |
| "I had the most wonderful time this past weekend at the P spot. Michaela is very professional but she is no-nonsense. I thoroughly enjoyed the pole and the striptease session. Michaela can break down any move no matter your skill level and you get and awesome workout. I wish I wouldv'e been told to bring water because I was panting. I have recommended The P spot to everyone who is in DC or might be stopping through. When I come back up to the area I'm going to try to squeeze as many sessions in as possible. I have never taken a pole class and Michaela has set the bar that I don't anyone can step up to." ~ A. Burrows |
| "I was nervous in the beginning because I have ZERO coordination. But the it was such a FUN class! My girls and I had a great time and can't wait do this again sometime! Thank you for being such an awesome and funny instructor!" ~ CK Anonymous |
| "I can honestly say that since working out at The P Spot, my daughters have notice that my buns are literally "Buns of Steel". Thanks, Michaela for working with me for as long as you have. And, a Sista still has to work on "Bringing it up Sexy®". ~A. Burton |
| "I had my first class 3/12/10. I have to say I was worried that I would be too clumsy in the shoes. The shoes felt great, no falls. Michaela is great! She gives good direction and works you through the motions. I was sore for four days, but the good sore. I definitely will be continuing to take classes! Plus this will be my birthday celebration!" ~ A. Lacy |
| "I won the Biggest Looser Contest! I am so excited but know that it was because of your support - I was able to accomplish this goal. I have lost a total of 25 pounds since I started taken classes at The P Spot. But for me, it is not just the weight; it is the self confidence, freedom, and encouragement that I feel while at The P Spot! Thanks so much, Michaela. I am happy to be bringing less up sexy now." ~ M. Ball |
| "As a former jazz and ballet dancer (15 years ago) the workout does not compare, it's BETTER than my formal training....I am using muscles I have never used before. Thanks Michaela for your energy, instruction and patience I know that in the next couple of months I will reach my goals." ~ D. Moss |
| "Michaela: Your class was absolutely incredible. I just had a baby 7 mos ago and am totally out of shape. I know for sure that your classes will get me back to my pre-baby size and I cannot wait. Thanks for teaching such a terrific class. It is nothing like I expected but was more than I could have imagine. I had so much fun and felt totally worked out. I am sore but this is the BEST pain ever. I hope to be well on my way to body fabulosity!" ~ T. Burthey |
| "I loved your class...I've never had a workout like that. It was intense but fun. And the time flew by...I took another pole dancing class at this place Flirty Girl Fitness in Chicago. It was $25 and not even half as good as yours. Seriously, it was barefoot-which is less hard but also less fun,the class had 15 poles so we didn't get as much attention, the music was not as good and the routine was whack. ~C. Hall |
| I had a wonderful time at Tuesday’s classes and I look forward to future workouts! Thank you for a great experience; I had a blast (and went home with some nicely-sore muscles). ~ T. Parker |
| "I want to thank you so much for being such an inspiration in my life. Since stiff as a board. Your classes give me that challenge that I need. This gives me the hope to obtain more of the level in not being shame to express myself and all the while transforming my body to be in shape. Thank you so much for being you." ~M. Baskerville |
| "I wanted to start my New Year off right so I decided to check out The P Spot. My friend and I enrolled in the Strip Aerobics II class. The class was fun and didn't feel like an exercise class; however, my body felt every move and as a result I was sore the next day...I told a couple friends about my experience at The P Spot and they are excited to join the "bring it up sexy" movement. Thanks again Michaela see u next week." ~ A. Hall |
| The workouts keep me coming back. Before attending my first class, I was under the impression that the classes were going to be a breeze and boy were my muscles in shock. Not one time have I ever become bored with the workouts and this is the longest I've kept up with any workout routine I started. I love the workouts for its intensity, seductive moves, and never knowing what to expect next! My body is addicted to the workouts. Keep the suspense going, Michaela." ~K. Kargbo |
| "Since starting at The P Spot, I won the race my husband and I were having to lose weight. (I had to lose 14 while he lost 20.) I have exceeded that goal, and when I get to the 20 pound mark, I’m buying a pole! As a physical therapist, I appreciate the dynamics of Michaela’s classes for working muscles through full ranges of motion, using body weight as resistance, and challenging muscles to the point of fatigue. I am not sure any other workout gives as much “bang for the buck.” Seven months later, I no longer dread going down the stairs after a round of Pole and Strip Aerobics! ~M. Weller |
| "I left the P Spot for a few months, but missed it terribly the entire time. The thing is - 8 months at The P Spot gave me the fitness level and the self-confidence to run my first marathon. I still can't believe I did, but I ran a marathon! Now as soon as I heal I am going to be right back on the pole!" ~ K. Herter |
| Thank you! Again we couldn't have had a better time on Saturday. We were almost too sore to hit the dance floor later that night but still managed to bring it up sexy (or something close to that). It was the best work out I've had in a long time. I'm a long distance runner and you found muscles that clearly aren't getting attention by just putting the miles on. ~ L. Nichols |

| Okay, I was so NOT prepared for my 1st class of floorwork this past Saturday, 8/21. And I do kung-fu!! OMG! This sister-MICHAELA-is the BOMB!! My glutes are STILL sore from Saturday's class! I WILL be back, as I want to continue doing this & I've been referring my friends like crazy! Thank you Michaela! ~ K. Jones |
