Polefiction by Trish

There are not enough words to express how much I LOVE my weekly 1:1 pole sessions with Trish. I have been wanting to try pole for several years but came up with a million excuses not to. Having just moved to Tucson not that long ago and wanting to try something out of my comfort zone, I finally decided to go for it. I checked a lot of websites and reviews looking for someone who did private sessions at an affordable price. That's when I found Polefiction! From my first session working with Trish, I was hooked. Trish is an incredible instructor. It takes a really gifted person to be able to be both talented in their craft and skilled at teaching those techniques to students at various levels. She pushes you just enough out of your comfort zone that you'll find yourself doing moves you didn't think possible. BUT at the same time recognizes when you've had enough, are feeling a bit frustrated and need to move on from certain tricks. I appreciate that so much. Her studio is super cute and private. She has different pole sizes (both static and spin), a hoop, Lyrapole, aerial silks, and more. It's been really fun getting to practice and play around with those as well.If you've been on the fence about trying pole, sign up for a session with Trish. I promise you won't be disappointed!

ETA: I only wish you success in life and that is our differences. I don't have any smart alecky things to say about you. I think you are very talented in what you do. I will continue to say that. However, it is not my job to stroke your ego. I actually enjoyed your classes and looked forward to goingI was going to stop for a bit until my body got over the shock it was in. I don't know how to use zelle or any of that kind of stuff, so I asked my daughter to do that for me. Emily's partner was going to pay for any classes she wanted or the 2 of them wanted together. Please remove my "glowing" review from your website. You helped me feel empowered and gave me the wherewithal to quit smoking cigarettes and for that, I thank you. If you would have talked to me just a little bit more instead of judging me and making assumptions, I was terrified that I was out of remission.I'm pretty sad things turned out the way they did, but I'm happy I'm not being used anymore. It's pretty sad that when one decides to live a healthier lifestyle, the support just isn't there. After using nicotine in cigarettes and vape, I honestly thought my coach would support me. I can't say I wasn't warned. At first, the classes were fun, and I enjoyed time with my daughter. We did take classes together. I acknowledge that, but we also wanted classes separately, and as you will see by these pictures, that was pretty frowned upon. Eventually, as younger people do, my daughter advanced a bit quicker, and I wanted my own classes, as did she. I lost quite a bit of strength during that positive lifestyle change. I thought I could build that up quicker on my own. Trish suggested that I do open pole, which would bring her more money. I had thought about that, and my daughter was dressed to take over if things got tough for me, but by the time I sent these messages and hadn't had any instruction for 11 days and it was being suggested that I wait 19 days, I started to figure out that perhaps I was just the purse strings and taxi driver for my daughter. I'm happy I finally realized that. It was actually my daughter's partner who asked me to write a message because he felt that something wasn't right here. I'll be forever grateful for him. I hope she quits changing her contracts because the one I have a copy of says much different. As far as knowledge, I wouldn't recommend her. I bought a home pole, and with one phone call, I was told that home poles have a different feel. Trish told me that the different feelings from home and studio pole were caused because my severely disabled son licks his palms, and perhaps I wasn't cleaning it well enough. That answer in and of itself shows an extreme lack of professionalism.

So....I needed something to keep me active.....since the gyms are opening and closing every other week. I needed something that I could do by myself without a lot of people around. Someplace clean and safe... But, most importantly someplace I could go to zone out and release a lot of anxiety and stress. This is it!I get a great workout, get to dance and be silly, but also chat and laugh w/ a great patient instructor. Trish is encouraging every step of the way. She breaks down routines so that you can get it. I also like that she can tell when I'm ready to move on to something else when I get stuck and a little discouraged. Her technique and form are graceful and on point. I'm trying to get there...

I've done a handful of pole classes with Trish and 100% I would recommend her for anyone interested in pole classes! I love that the classes are one on one, especially for a newbie like myself. Trish is vey patient when showing and directing you and cheers you on when you get the move. I was debating between her and another place and luckily my friend said she went to Trish and highly recommended her and I am so glad, it was definitely the absolute best choice!

As I step out of the covid world and into fiction my mind and body begin to drift! Literally, the way my body contorts now was something that only existed in my mind. That is until Trish guided me to my pole reality! I ventured here in search of a way to not only get in shape but to also have fun. What I receive by going is so much more than I could have anticipated! Empowerment, strength training, ballet training (damn pointed toes), feeling your oats, and just letting that booty hang out, are just some of the fun perks! Trish really gives a one on one experience pre covid days, during covid days and long after! Stop wasting my time, her time and your time and get your ass to class!!

Amazing is not enough to describe the experience! I loved my first class and have signed up for many more! She makes you feel comfortable with no experience and is very encouraging! I'm sore after my classes and can see progress in my strength after a couple of classes. That's how you know it's worth it! So glad to be team Polefiction! It's a great experience and wish I discovered sooner. Can't wait for my next class already!

Trish is amazing! I am an advanced poler, and I first contacted Trish last spring. I had signed up for a competition, and needed some help with choreography and cleaning up my routine. Trish was so supportive and helpful. Before my first lesson, she took the time to watch the videos that I sent her, so she could really personalize my lessons. Her support and communication with me throughout the process was invaluable. She helped me to win the gold! Because of the private nature of her studio, you are really able to work on and progress the skills that you need to strengthen. The only thing I would say is a minor drawback in her studio, is maybe the height of the poles. But it's really not a huge issue. And it's made up for with all the other cool tools she has, my favorite of which is a neat handstand support device. Lots of fun! I highly recommend trying PoleFiction by trish!

What I said in my previous review still stands true. The ceilings are still lower than I would like in terms of climbing but they are high enough to do any aerial tricks you need. Trish is very experienced, personable and willing to challenge you. Her encouragement is very motivating. She's been very flexible and tries to help you reach your goals. For the price, it really is worth it since I am able to work on what I feel is important. Here's my previous review so it doesn't get lost: "I've had previous experience before going to the private lesson and it is very individualized. Trish is also big on learning more static pole moves which I find is different, however necessary. The studio itself is a clean and bright environment. There are 4 poles 2 static and 2 on spin. Each of them 40mm. They are the skinnier pole which I'm not used to but they are in good condition. Trish keeps a few mats for safety and for floor work. My only gripe is the ceilings are not very tall so there is not room to climb higher.I am definitely willing to come back since Trish is very personable and the price for a private is much cheaper than most studios. With military discount I was able to get the first class for $35. Additional packages are in available 5 at a time with different pricing options. 10 privates with military discount is $270, that's $27 a private! If anything just try her studio to see if it's for you."

Ok, as someone who has never tried pole fitness before.... I checked a lot of websites for reviews and also knew I wanted a very private one on one session (and one I could afford!). So after researching and talking to Trish back and forth a little (she responds really fast and is a pleasure to talk to) I chose Polefiction. Trish is a wonderful, fun & encouraging teacher. Her studio is private and she has great options for payments. I'm on my 7th session with Trish now and as a beginner, this stuff is HARD! But I doubt I'd be happy to keep coming back if I had gone elsewhere. Go to Trish @ Polefiction!!! You'll be happy you did ‍ Your body & mind will be too

It's funny how your hand was out for money, for someone who didn't wish for us to return to your studio. As for your comment regarding how you gave countless suggestions of other dance studios, be it as it may, I got assaulted in the same complex as your studio currently resides in, as you know. I didn't wish to return to the complex, but I came back because I thought you were my friend, and I loved the way you taught, but as the saying goes true friends stab you in the front and you certainly did not do that be it as you lied. My question to you now is how did you know that I did not wish to continue despite what happened and my mother wish to quit? I do have my own money separate from my mother. How did you know that me and my partner didn't reconcile and want to take classes together? I guess we will never know. I guess my mother and I are one of the same. I would also like to know what your numerous problems with us were? To sum this review up (so it doesn't get removed), classes started well. The instructors seemed nice, but it quickly soured. Of course, this will be another "cute" review, but as a parting goodbye, I would like to inform you that you know nothing about me. I'm glad my partner and I will not be attending any of your classes, and I hope you have the day you deserve.ETA review from Google: ETA: Yes, I do have my own voice. I was flabbergasted by the text message you sent my mother.I never thought you were that kind of person. My mother doesn't know how to use Zelle or Paypal so she had me send her payment. As for my partner, I never brought him up because I didn't think it mattered since at the time we were fighting, I didn't know if he wanted to try a class, but surprise surprise he did, after my glowing recommendation. Here you want some more truth, let me add. I enjoyed learning in heels, I liked Reanna's class, and I thought your silk was pretty. I grew unsatisfied because every class started to feel the same and I couldn't master certain moves after months of practice at home. I will not be recommending you to my friends anymore. I wish you all the luck.
