Mothers.
Giving… Patient… Nurturing… Compassionate… Strong…

Sexy.

On Saturday May 9 at 12:30pm, join us at the studio for our first ever Hot Mamas! workshop… being held in honor of all our sexy mothers out there!
In this 1.5 hour special event, we will spend time learning a few sexy new moves to include sensual movement, pole dancing and lap dancing. And who doesn’t need a little pampering as well? Papillion Salon & Spa is going to be adding a little surprise to the afternoon for our sexy moms who attend!

During your Boudoir Photography session you will have the opportunity to pose in several of your favorite pieces of lingerie. Enjoy the comfort of our female photographer whose goal is to make you feel relaxed in order to capture your natural & classic beauty.

March has flown by!

March 2009 was an exhilarating month at Aradia Fitness!
Not only have we introduced several new workouts and events… but we’ve been delighted to meet all the new ladies who have come to us to “Meet Their Sexy Side”!
WORKOUTS
This past month we introduced our new “Beyond the Pole” workouts to the delight of our instructors and clients. The four classes on the schedule at this time (Booty Box, Bunny Bootcamp, Candlelight Stretch, and Sexy Butt & Abs) are each fun ways to strengthen, tone, and increase flexibility…. all with a sexy twist of course! Staying fit and healthy should never be a chore and our goal is keep you having fun while doing so!
EVENTS
On March 26 Aradia Fitness co-hosted a free “Naughty Girls’ Night In” event with Adam & Eve adult stores. Nearly 50 clients and friends visited our studio for an evening of naughty games, sexy demos from the Aradia Instructors, raffles and of course a little pole play time!
We were also excited that Raleigh’s own Naughty & Iced provided a delicious and fabulous looking Bustiere cake to keep theme with the evening’s festivities!
The Aradia Instructors also demonstrated a fun & flirty Chair Dance routine… be sure to check out the April Chair Dance workshop to learn a fun routine like this one for home!
Visit our MySpace page to view some of the photos from this fun event!!
The month of March also kicked off our fabulous Meetup.com events! This group of amazing women in the Triangle area visit our studio for special events at drastically reduced rates. We’ve hosted two great events in March and already have several more on the calendar for April and May!
This is the perfect way to check out pole dancing for fitness as well as meet other like-minded women in the area! If you haven’t already, join our MEETUP.COM POLE DANCING GROUP and come out to one of our monthly events… we’d love to have you.
MORE TO COME!
April is already shaping up to be another busy month for us! New pole dancing & sensual movement sessions began last week and we are looking forward to our Teaser classes & chair dancing workshop later in the month.
Be sure to look for Aradia Fitness at the April 19 bridal expo in Raleigh! We always have a great time at this event visitng with other wonderful vendors and meeting the beautiful brides-to-be!
We are also looking at opening a few new studios this year, particularly in the Wilmington and Greensboro area. We already love what we do and we can’t wait to bring this exhilarating form of fitness to a whole new community of women!
Stick with us ladies! We have a ton of new things in store for the spring and summer (including Striptease, Burlesque and Belly Dancing!)… and we can’t wait to share it with you.

ZSpotlight… “zee” four-one-one on the Triangle
Monday, March 2nd, 2009 | News | No Comments
We are excited to announce that Aradia Fitness is now listed with ZSpotlight.com! What does this mean, you ask? Now that’s a great question!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with ZSpotlight, it is a fantastic entertainment guide for the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, etc) which provides up-to-date event information to all the ZSpotlight members. With over 18,000 members ZSpotlight was a natural choice for us at Aradia Fitness. Keep an eye out for the ZSpotlight printed entertainment guides strategically located among popular restaurants and businesses. You may even come across one of their energetic photographers who candidly and not-so-candidly snap your photo when you are out & about.
One of the really cool benefits of being a ZSpotlight member, besides being in the “know” for all the hip events, is that you will have access to fantastic savings from ZSpotlight businesses. Their biggest seller – the Half-Off Coupon.
For example. You can purchase a $50 gift certificate to your favorite restaurant for only $25. No catch, no tricks… you spend $25 and then you a gift certificate valued at $50. Cool, eh?
The great thing is that the businesses offer coupons valued at a certain amount of their choosing and the coupon sales actually go towards the advertising expenses. So ZSpotlight gets its advertisement fees and the businesses gets a few extra happy hitters walking through their door.
Ah, so now you are wondering how all this ties into you… the pole dancing for fitness enthusiast? Once you are a registered ZSpotlight member, you can purchase Half-Off coupons to use towards a variety of Aradia Fitness classes! We offer the following coupons:
(1) $15 Off Any Teaser Class… you pay $7.50!
(2) $40 Off Any 4-Week Session… you pay $20!
(3) $100 Off Any Aradia Fitness Party… you pay $50!
Even more, ZSpotlight members can purchase a yearly discount VIP card called the ZSpot Card. You flash this baby blue when you are out on the town and find yourself getting more extra savings! Aradia Fitness will offer $5 Off (any Teaser class or specialty workshop) to ZSpot Card holders who present the card at the time of payment (not to be combined with any other coupons or gift certificates… sorry ladies!)
You can’t find these steals anywhere else! Aradia Fitness is bringing pole dancing for fitness to ladies in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary area at the prices you can afford.
Just because we love you

Got Pole?!
Saturday, February 28th, 2009 | News | No Comments
If you haven’t met us already… girl, you are missing out!
Pole dancing for fitness has been taking the nation by storm the last few years! It is surprisingly HUGE in the UK and Canada… I guess we Americans are a little behind the curve on this trend.
Now I’ll be honest, I was one of those women at first… the Negative Nancy who thought this was as insane an idea as Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease. Of course, I was still coming into my womanhood at the time and had a hard time thinking of myself as “sexy”. That adjective was always reserved for the tall, skinny, perfectly-perfect golden-skinned goddesses that graced the covers of magazines and DVDs.
Now put yourself in my shoes for a minute.
Turn back the clock about oh, four years or so. You come home from college one weekend to see your mother raving about the latest episode of Oprah she just saw on TV. The one in which a pole dance for fitness instructor taught the queen of afternoon television how to shake her thang on a nine foot metal pole!
Stars above, but my mother was hooked from that moment on.
At the time, I never delved too much into why she was so incredibly intent on learning how to pole dance (I mean, this is my mother we’re talking about here! My mind refused to put “sexy” and “mom” together 
) but I dare you to try and stop my mother from doing something once she’s put her mind to it. She practically grew up in her grandmother’s dance studio and competed in gymnastics throughout high school & college. The idea of this unique, new, and sexy form of fitness struck a cord within her… and even at 50 years old, my mom just knew she had a new calling in life.
Terri Kerr was bound and determined to bring pole dancing for fitness to North Carolina.
And in January 2007, she finally did.
My mother (Terri) became a part of a successful pole dancing fitness conglomerate called Aradia Fitness, which is based out of Canada. She flew up to Canada numerous time for classes and training before she opened the first Aradia Fitness studio in the United States. Right in here in Raleigh’s own backyard!
Since then, dear ole mommy has talked her wayward, skeptical daughter into helping with the business and successfully made a reformed woman out of me. Now I’m the one that wants to talk every woman I see into trying a pole dancing for fitness class out! I can’t believe that they don’t know what they are missing, because you gotta at least try it… just once!
Terri has since acquired a wonderful & vivacious group of instructors who each bring something unique to the women they teach. We’ve had hundreds & hundreds of women come through the studio doors, many shy & uncertain of what to expect when the enter… but its safe to say that 99% leave our doors with a bold new swish in their hips and a sparkle in their eye.
The thing that sets Aradia Fitness apart from other pole dancing for fitness studios, and even further apart from strip clubs, is the atmosphere we provide.
We strive to provide an environment that celebrates the female form and embraces the sensuality our bodies create in movement. We know that each and every female form is beautiful in its own way… we just have to get our students to see that in themselves.
Once you get there though, its quite the transformation.
So welcome to our humble blog. I hope you will follow along as we share the stories and news of the North Carolina division of Aradia Fitness. We are still thrilled to be sharing pole dancing for fitness with ladies in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and Apex area… and we are excited about the possibilities of future expansion into Wilmington, Greensboro, Charlotte and beyond!
Stick with us ladies!
