Unhinged & chaotic are two words use to describe owner Jay Fab , quite often.

On stage she might be dressed as a snake, shedding skin, eating rats, and kipping from 10' high.

Or she might be throwing fist fulls of cockroaches in the air while dressed as Beetlejuice.

In class though? She utilizes a spiral based curriculum she wrote (she is a teacher after all) to help guide her students every class.

Any teacher knows though, you don't teach to the lesson... you teach to the student.

The lessons are a guide, but reading the room, assessing the needs of students, listening to their goals, differentiating to the abilities of those in the class... these are the things that make class with her extra special.

In class we don't just check off the box that said we did the move. We get comfy there. We dive deeper. We explore. We discover organic pathways to and from, and play with variations within.

Everything's a thing (as long as your contact points are there, the proper muscles are fired up, and of course you're safe).

Yes, she loves owning a studio... but teaching? That's where her heart lives... (that and being unhinged and unpredictable on stage 😜).

Tap in sweaty sisters, we're ready for the summer heat to end and bring on the brisk fall weather.

Months of sweating through spins, and watching the beads of sweat slide down our shins... going through bottles of dry hands and using a sham wow to soak it all up.

We're ready to kick summer to the curb and bring on fall weather! 🍁🎃

Who else is team fall poling? When humidity gets less aggressive, temperature drops, and you're no longer sweating doing just a pirouette?

Plus who doesnt love the official spooky season?! 👻

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just snap our fingers and be strong enough to do all the big, fancy tricks?

Just because we call them tricks, doesn't mean it's magic.

Every advanced trick you see someone do, came after months (probably years) of training, conditioning, intention, and putting in the prep work to give the illusion of defying gravity. They didn’t just touch a pole and magically get there.

Every poler knows that every move that LOOKS easy... most likely isn't.

Trust that there's plenty of cool things you can do on pole to work your way towards those goal moves. Don't rush the process, trust it. Your body will thank you for your patience.

Building a strong foundation is vital... not just busting out flashy moves that you aren't ready for.

So trust when your pole coach says no to teaching you how to do an ayesha when you can't even do a single push up. Let them help you work towards it at a pace that keeps you (and the coach who's spotting you) safe.

If you know... you know

Your first time on a pole can feel intimidating, scary, and definitely vulnerable. Maybe you envision Regina George energy from others in class. Maybe you have feelings of self doubt... you see others with more experience floating in spins in fae fashion, not even breaking a sweat and think to yourself...

Can I even get my feet off the floor?

Then before you can answer that question, you're greeted by friendly faces (no Regina George energy allowed here) who welcome and encourage you. You are given variations that better suit you. You surprise yourself with what you can do, instead of dwelling on what you're working towards.

Before you realize it, you've just had a full body workout that felt like playtime and you made some amazing new friends too. You've finished your first class and before you leave the parking lot, you've already booked your next class.

Here at Apex, we're more than a class. We're a community. We're a support system. We're your biggest cheerleaders.

We believe in uplifting people, and helping them feel more confident while doing the things they love.

When it comes to pole dancing though... sometimes that comes with scrutiny from those who don't understand how empowering and positive it can be...

Sometimes the keyboard warriors buzz a little too loud in your ear and its like you're back in elementary school with your first bully. Trauma reflex says ... go off on them. Healthy adult reflex says this person 1. has healing to do and its more about them than you.... and 2. you don't want to risk further shadow banning that our community already faces.

so back to the playground days it is... and the 'I'm rubber, you're glue' come back seems very appropriate for the childlike tantrum an internet stranger is throwing over you minding your business, enjoying life... and yeah... doing so while on a pole.

Not everyone deserves to be on Beyonce's internet... but we can only control our responses to things and how we move forward... even if someone disagrees with how you live your life *insert sarcastic tears here*

So live your life babe. People will always find a reason to complain about joy... doesnt mean you need to diminish yours for them.
