HERE’S WHAT SOME OF OUR MEMBERS SAY…
“…Signing up at BB Studio, is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I am loving the community I am a part of…”
-
I first came across the BB Studio shortly before the pandemic and attended a free taster session which was amazing and, as soon as you walk in Becky makes you feel so amazing and comfortable, she just has a very warming aura about her which makes you feel super relaxed and comfortable.
At the end of the taster session she explained the different packages. I had so much fun I decided to sign up and she really helped me through the whole process of signing up and getting all of that sorted.
I unfortunately I only managed to get to a few sessions before the pandemic hit, but Becky quickly set up lots of different online classes which you could access either live or go back and get the recorded version, and we also have WhatsApp group chat which we can share our progress and are very supportive of each other.
After, the pandemic eased up a little bit I decided to go back to pole and reached out to Becky as I was very nervous that I hadn’t done anything in forever, I had lost my confidence and gained, like a lot of people a lot of lockdown weight. As usual she was so brilliant and supportive in getting my account set back up and getting back into classes.
Now this is where it gets even better, so restarting the classes I had the amazing Topher doing the beginners classes. And he is just all types of fabulous just like Becky. Despite me being really nervous and quite shy again, he really brings you out of your shell and makes you feel so fabulous.
He believes in your abilities even when you don’t believe in your own and it’s really warm in and is definitely encouraging. He takes his time to go through everything with you, as many times as you need it.
Him and Becky are honestly, some of the warmest and friendliest people I have ever come across. They both have this natural ability to make you feel like you are superwoman or superman and you can really do it all. I won’t lie, pole isn’t easy (we’ll definitely not for me) and I’ve definitely found it a struggle, but they have so much patience with you and explain everything in a way that is understandable and allows you to grasp it and then obviously demonstrates well on the pole.
Over the past six months I’ve been going consistently again, I’ve seen such a big improvement in my skills and also my confidence. Which is definitely due to Becky and Topher. Signing up for Pole at BB Studio, is one of the best things I’ve ever done. And I am loving the community I am a part of. And everyone at the studio is so friendly, it’s definitely worth the price and you have access to different types of classes. So you have pole, silks, and things like fierce heels which are all accessible to everybody, so you can mix up what you want to do. And the icing on the cake, is there is free parking outside the studio ❤️❤️ My weekly (sometimes bi weekly) pole sessions are the highlight of my week, and I’m looking forward to trying silks at some point with the lovely Tara and just overall improving my confidence and flexibility and growing my whole journey with Topher and Becky and all the lovely ladies part of this community 😍
“…I feel stronger and fitter. My self esteem has risen…”
-
Before I start working with Becky the level of my confidence was very low, because during my pregnancy I put a lot of weight. I was struggling to lose that weight.
When I start looking for a better way for me to work out I find out about the Pole Dancing Classes, but I wasn’t sure is that the right thing for me. I was thinking that this is to hard, that I am to heavy, that I won’t be able to do anything, but I decided to give myself a chance and to try something new. So I signed up for a taster class. At that day Becky showed me that I am capable to do it, so I decided to go for it and sign my membership.
Working with Becky is so easy for me. She is funny and she I explaining everything in a way that makes everything to look so easy. She is always there willing to help and support you.
Since I started Becky’s classes I feel stronger and fitter. My self esteem has risen and the most important is that I’m doing something that I really like and enjoy.
“…spiritual love & great company…”
-
Thanks for your spiritual love & great company had wicked retreat weekend and so much fun. #Blessed to be in your spaces! Big hugs and loves.
“…a weekly habit that I need for my soul…”
-
I came across Becky's class by pure chance and had no idea that this form of fitness existed. Confused, unsure and a bag nerves for all sorts of reason's, I took a leap of faith and I can't believe I was hooked, still am! I have been coming to Becky and BB Studio for years, right from the beginning. It is so apparent that Becky loves teaching. Becky is an amazing teacher and exudes so much warmth, her energy is seriously contagious. She is supportive, dedicated and attentive in everyone's individual journey and always pushing us to reach our maximum potential. BB studio has an amazing set of instructors they always inspire you be it with pole or other aspect of your life, this is such an important trait to have in a teacher.
Every class is well planned. Studio is spacious and clean, with access to mats and yoga blocks. The studio now offers a variety of classes from beginners classes, advance classes, fierce heels or even silks yoga to go that extra bit deeper with your flexibility. So there really is something for everyone.
Becky's studio provides me a safe place to take time out to focus on myself, to get fit and stronger. I always understood fitness and being healthy is just limited to physical appearance, what you can see on the outside, but BB Studio has taught me that it's also mentally and emotionally. BB studio has given me the ability to appreciate and value my body for all the things it can do and acknowledge how far I have come. The fact that I and the other girls in the studio can defy gravity is pretty amazing!
What was a chance and leap of faith has turned into a weekly habit that I need for my soul. I have met amazing people and made lifelong friends ❤ I would recommend BB Studio to anyone, the community, the cheers, the applauds, the love and the progress you make with your own body and watching others progress is too good to miss - the first taster session is FREE 😍
For as long as I can remember I always had an issue with my body and was deeply unhappy with what I saw in the mirror, I would look in the mirror and see a fat reflection. Now, I wear bright clothes, I am in love with colour! I am at peace with my body and embrace my curves that define me.
P.s. I am much much much happier!
“…I never thought in a million years I’d feel comfortable in my own skin…”
-
Since moving to London three years ago, I’ve lived in my own bubble of what and who I’ve always known. I wanted to meet new people and also challenge myself in a completely new environment. I wanted to get stronger but also have a lot of fun.
I did have reservations about starting Pole Classes. I was worried that I would be surrounded by complete experts who had been for years and no room for a beginner like me. How wrong was I! I love both the beginners and mixed ability classes. From the minute Becky replied to my nervous message asking to join, I knew she was the teacher for me and I had absolutely no reservations about working with her. She is so friendly and welcoming. Even when a move doesn’t click or I just don’t get it that week, the support for each other and particularly from Becky is brilliant and I know that I’ll get there eventually, whether it’s the week after or a few months down the line.
I’ve loved every minute of working with Becky. The classes are the perfect balance for me – they are professional and you learn so much each week, but at the same time they are friendly, accommodating to everyone, and we have a real giggle. I feel like I’m learning a skill within a real pole family, and it’s Becky who has created that atmosphere. Becky knows when to push me out of my comfort zone and challenge me, and is just the biggest cheerleader when you nail a move and when it just doesn’t work that week. I am a huge fan of the online Facebook group we have for the Pole family, and Becky’s posts about confidence, happiness and mental health. It’s not a case of sign up to a class, attend and go home until the next time. It’s a real community built to empower each other, and to improve our physical and mental well being. It’s made my whole pole experience a million times over, and there aren’t enough Becky’s in the world spreading positivity and happiness!
I never thought in a million years I’d feel comfortable in my own skin at a class, let alone learning a completely new skill in front of other people. Being able to practice choreo in front of others and talking myself into trying inverts or whatever the move is that week, it gets easier and easier each week. It’s had such a knock on effect in how I am in my career, meeting new people… there has definitely been a transformation in me that my family and friends have noticed. And that in turn makes me happy. I’ve gained a new skill and a new hobby, where I can have fun and switch off from the 9-5 buzz. The classes are the highlight of my week and I can’t wait to see where I’m at in a year’s time!
“…I am now feeling so much more confident and fit! I go every single week and it’s the part of my week I most enjoy!”
-
I’d recently started a new office based job and was really struggling to fit in time to exercise. I tried going to the gym but I just didn’t enjoy it whatsoever! I knew I needed some kind of exercise in my life that would keep me motivated to go every week, enjoy myself and get fit!
When I first started pole, I was worried because I could see Becky and a few of the others had been going to pole for a few years that looked really good. Some of even the most basic moves were so hard for me and it took a lot of effort. I was worried I wouldn’t pick it up but after a while it all came together & before I knew it I was learning more complex techniques and going upside down on the pole!
It’s been more than just a pole dancing teacher, but someone who is genuinely interested in you and your health & most importantly having fun! You can ask to learn a certain move and Becky will work on particular areas of strength to build up so that you can nail it! She puts so much dedication into us I can’t imagine working with anyone else.
The best result is that I am now feeling so much more confident and fit! I go every single week and it’s the part of my week I most enjoy!
“…My upper body strength has improved a lot!…”
-
Before I started pole I never did any form of exercise, unless partying on the weekends count?! I knew it would be hard work as it still is and I’ve been really enjoying it.
My upper body strength has improved a lot!
“…Always very positive and driven forward…”
-
I wanted to strengthen my body, get flexibility and learn more feminine moves. Becky has an outstanding appearance and professional approach. Always very positive and driven forward. I enjoy the dancing most with implemented pole elements and nice feminine moves which makes the whole training flourish and so special/different to anything else. Some of the elements need time and more technique explanation, but once Becky explains steps or how to get to the pose it is far easier to understand. `
The one best result I have got is strength and more feminine moves. I love dancing, which Becky inspired me to do at home.
“…such a fantastic weekend with amazing people…”
-
Huge thank you to Becky and Georgia for such a fantastic weekend with amazing people!! 😘 can’t wait for April 😊
“…always very positive and motivating…”
-
I was not very active, and I hadn’t been very active for the best part of 2 years following my spinal fractures in July 2016. It took a year to get myself back to a basic recovery and back to work; I had a decent amount of muscle prior to the accident but being in a brace for 3 months wasted my upper body. I had pains in my shoulder blades and neck pretty much daily. I wanted to get my fitness back and be involved in something fun and challenging.
I was mostly concerned about being inexperienced and not being fit enough. Before going to the taster, I did wonder about whether it would be a strict traditional dance teacher or a more laid back and casual one.
It’s been great, very encouraging! The classes are fun and Becky is full of energy which really helps give me a boost if I’m feeling tired.
She’s kept a good track on what I’ve learnt and my achievements and is always very positive and motivating (the enthusiasm and celebration on even just a small achievement!) which obviously is extra encouraging. I also like Becky’s Facebook posts, videos and Facebook lives too.
Aside from learning new tricks and improving my strength and flexibility and all that super kool stuff, I think the biggest result I’ve felt is the reduction (to pretty much nothing) in the pain I get in my neck and shoulders. I’ve noticed on most days it’s not there, sometimes creeps back but pole has definitely seemed to help that.
I also loved that I noticed visible results and changes in my body in only a few weeks!
“…now I can do things I didn’t ever imagine that I could do…”
-
Before we began working together, I had just come out of CBT due to panic attacks and generalised anxiety. I had low self-esteem and was currently not exercising or participating in any sports or clubs.
Becky was so welcoming and despite how nervous I was in my first session (and having a panic attack) Becky was supportive and understanding. I wasn’t worried at all about society’s perceptions of pole fitness because Becky showed me what an art form it can be as well as a way to keep fit.
Each week has helped me become more confident as a person and to feel comfortable taking risks. I look forward to pole class and challenging myself in whatever form the class takes. I have definitely become more body confident as well as becoming stronger and more resilient. I used to be scared of taking risks and did not have much resolve to push myself in fear of getting hurt, but now I can do things I didn’t ever imagine that I could do.
Becky and her pole dance classes have really made a big, positive impact on my life!
“…such an amazing retreat weekend…”
-
Genuinely missing everyone already!! The DOMS have officially set in, so hot bath for me tonight!!
Thank you for such an amazing retreat weekend! Can’t wait for the next retreat! 💛💛💛
“…biggest benefit is my confidence…”
-
I had done pole before but not loads and was desperate to get back into it. Before starting with BB Studio, all my enquiries were answered in a really friendly way and I felt very welcome in the taster session. It has been very fun, every class has a different element and works on new aspects every time. My biggest benefit is my confidence, as Becky is very encouraging and has helped me achieve new things in pole that I could never do before!
“…At the taster, I thought I wasn’t going to be any good, and I would look very unfit in comparison to other people…”
-
Before I started pole, I just lacked activity and fitness. At the taster, I thought I wasn’t going to be any good, and I would look very unfit in comparison to other people. But it’s been wonderful. Becky made me feel better about not being so good at times, and she made me believe that I can do it, it just takes time.
I joined the studio and since going to a few classes, I’ve been upside down on the pole… that was my only goal coming in!
“…I recommend this to everybody!”
-
I knew pole dance from a course I took back in Slovakia a couple years ago. It was just 8 lessons so I still classed myself as a beginner when I met Becky. I was scared how my pole dance skills will be after these years and how it works in new studio abroad and with new people. Everything turned out to be great and Becky is perfect and super friendly! Becky is really professional and always know how to help and support you. There is a variety of the lessons – either we do fitness, learn new choreography or bit of both. What I like the most is that she explains each position into details and give you different options of how to do that depending on your level (beginner, intermediate, advanced…)
I leave every single lesson full of energy and enthusiasm no matter what mood I came in. It brightens my days and I improved my skills on pole. I recommend this to everybody!
“… Feeling full of good vibes …”
-
Thank you Georgia & Becky for such a wonderful retreat. Feeling full of good vibes from the weekend. Was great meeting all the lovely people!☺️💫
“…helpful, kind and supportive…”
-
I’ve really enjoyed attending the recent yoga & pole retreat in Oxfordshire and I can’t wait to go to the next one! Skillful and experienced teachers, Becky and Georgia are always helpful, kind and supportive with all of their students which is so important. I can tell they really love what they do.
For many pole students, pole is a confidence-booster and Becky successfully plays a crucial role in that. Georgia is an amazing yoga teacher, dedicated & patient. Georgia likes to come up with creative and original workshops for everyone to explore the different facets of yoga and its benefits.
