Bitch I Got This

“Bitch you got this,” was the first thing that came to mind when I think back on my experience at SkyPole Fitness. I have experienced nothing but positive vibes with pole in this area of fitness in which I don’t feel like an outcast. I truly believe it starts with Sky the owner of SkyPole Fitness because she exudes positivity, women empowerment and placing the belief in oneself that “Yes! You can do this!”

Before joining SkyPole Fitness I had a lot of experience with not being nor feeling accepted and I believe the one big reason for that was my personal battle with weight loss for as far as I can remember. Yet working out at the studio, personal workouts with friends from the studio and on my own; I’m getting closer and closer to my dream of being fit and healthy. Being apart of SkyPole Fitness has encouraged me to push myself, have high expectations for myself and have the ability to go even further than what my mental limitations try to govern over my body.

I am so thankful that Sky has developed this studio and her staff to be full of encouragement. I feel safe to know that I can completely jack up a move, and I’m backed up with “you got this, try again.”

It’s never “you suck, you will never be” and xyz.

She gives you modifications to move you in the right direction and you can even make up your own if you need to. She sets the pace of molding any move to fit your personal level. I know I am hard on myself, asking “Why am I even here?!” just about every class, but I remember another positive quote like “you don’t have it now, but you will have it later .”

My personal favorite quote that’s painted on the wall with the most basics of statements that says “Bitch you got this” that helps me get back focused and getting out of my head.

Being here I am allowing myself to do what is good for me and realizing that no one is
perfect but will be successful soon. It sounds easy, but in the beginning and even now I need those reminders for myself.

Pole has helped me to come out of my shy, negative, shell little by little pulling layer by
layer of hurt, disappointment, failure, feeling tired, thinking that I am not good enough; to where
I’m planning on competing and winning my category in the May 2020 PSO in Houston.

This is coming from a curvaceous, thick, heavy set woman that in the beginning I had little to no athletic abilities. Now, I am that someone that has the step around down packed so far because in the back of my head “bitch you got this” resounds louder than the snickers and put downs from my past. 

Sky Pole Studio classes are like having a girls night out and it adds to the experience of being with this great group of ladies. We laugh, we hold each other accountable, and encourage each other to feel good in our own sexy.

“Bitch, you got this” is my personal motto that I got from my time at Sky Pole Fitness, that is my drive to be a better me. Attending class here has raised my expectations of myself, my self confidence, self esteem, and my health consciousness. Being here has been a major boost in myself and I’m excited to see my goals being accomplished.

Because “Bitch I know I got this.”
