Defiance Studios

I started going to Defiance Studios just about six months ago. I started with private lessons, then got the confidence to move to group classes. My story is a little different than most, as I really never even took P.E. class in school. I was trying to continue my weight loss path, and also get over a couple of dramatic relationship changes in my life. I can’t say enough about Rikki, Sam, Samantha Lynn, Nikita, and Natasha. They have helped me change many aspects of my life. I went from having ZERO self-​confidence to going on stage for a student showcase, and I’ll be in another show in December through another local studio. After being on the high end of plus size most of my life, I can now wear clothes ranging from medium to XL. My life is forever changed. I often tell people going to Defiance Studios is cheaper, more fun, and less drama than therapy. You’ll get a lot more than just a good workout. Also, it is actually FUN. :)

I’ve had such a great experience at Defiance. They are really strong on technique and have had the patience to fix a lot of my bad habits to make me a better poler and help get me out of the rut I was in. Each instructor has her own personality and style of teaching and it has been so much fun to try classes with each of them. I am especially thankful that they are so inclusive of all body types, ages, and ability levels and will work around your strengths and abilities.
