The pole fitness teacher is prompting everyone to get on the pole, test your core, and bring sexy back

Aarifa Bhinderwala
Once you have done a class with Aarifa Bhinderwala, somehow everything seems possible. It’s a pole fitness class that will change your perception of what’s possible. How is that? For me, a curvy 44-year-old, the classes came by when I was feeling as if I had lost that spark. You know, when you don’t connect with your body anymore, and somehow, well, you stop feeling beautiful.
And so, recently, after a few consistent classes, when I could actually lift myself up, climb a pole and float a bit above the ground, I finally felt one with my body again. That’s why Bhinderwala’s Pole Burnt classes are the most popular pole fitness classes in town. Bhinderwala came across pole while she was visiting her sister in Australia.
