Is your New Year’s resolution to get fit and eat healthier while having fun?

If so, how about checking out a pole dance studio in South Tampa?

“Pole dancing is so much more than just exercise. It helps women feel confident and sexy, yet demands great strength and body awareness,” said April Soldano, owner of Rock ‘N’ Body Pole Studio at 4333 W. Kennedy Blvd.

Soldano teamed up with Briana Michel, a local professional nutrition coach, for a five-week program that will teach women how to get fit and sexy through exercise and healthy eating.

Expect hands-on pole training and fitness, nutrition coaching, food planning and small group encouragement.

“It’s about changing your relationship with food to fuel your ultimate lifestyle and create the best you possible,” Michel said. "Getting control over how you eat, think, feel and thrive is the key to living better and handling other areas of your life with ease.”
