Euphoria Fitness Studios

«You have to earn your sexy.» –Phoenix, pole fitness instructor
«GIRL, THIS IS MY SONG!» –every student at some point during a class
Euphoria is an intimate fitness studio featuring pole fitness, which is the HARDEST and most REWARDING exercise! My dear friend, who is having her marriage vows renewed on the beaches of the Florida Keys this summer, wanted to try a Groupon to Euphoria. While I had the hardest time ever trying to use their website and scheduling app, the classes have been such great fun! I’ve gone to 5 classes, *and* I can boast a few great moves that will make me feel sexy while I’m drunk at Memphis in May’s BBQfest and swinging around the tent poles this year.
Warm ups and stretches are challenging, and always include a hard core workout including loads of crunches, sit ups, and reaches. The studio offers boot camp classes and some yoga– style classes, but the pole fitness classes are a hard strength workout for the arms, wrists, shoulders, back, and abs. Within about 5 minutes of carrying your weight on the pole, you’ll notice your forearms feel like Popeye’s, after a can of spinach. Thick, strong, and scary powerful!
I am on hiatus from these classes right now because of some gnarly poison ivy (who wants to rub open wounds on a pole?), but will be back as soon as I am healed up, twice a week!
Alcohol-​based spray and towels are provided to keep your equipment dry and clean as palms get sweaty, as well as yoga mats for stretches and warming up the muscles. The studio is pretty clean, too. All you need to bring is your bare feet and some booty shorts; don’t be self-​conscious, classes are no more than 5 people, and everyone is at least a little jiggly!
