| "The PoleFit class taught by Brown begins with students urged to slip into 6-inch stiletto heels, sign a waiver and pick a pole. But it’s the 6-inch stilettos coupled with the standing, squatting, gyrating and spinning around a pole that makes looking sexy a real challenge - especially for the newbie. One novice’s massive pain and muscle failure experienced during the first class offers quickly noticeable results and a skill set that could come in handy in the privacy of your own home. And it’s an exciting option for a great day out with the girls..." (By Christie Williams | October 6, 2009; www.rollcall.com) |

| "Sexy struts, rocking hips and pole lifts: The P Spot®'s PoleFit isn't your average aerobics/strength-training class. Instructor Michaela Brown, a Georgetown grad, says that too many people quit going to the gym because it doesn't keep their attention. "My whole things was 'How can I trick people into working out?" she said...Incorporating striptease moves into workouts is nothing new, but this offers more toning than any Carmen Electra DVD. "Before it's a pole class, before it's a strip class, it's a fitness class," says Brown, who calls out moves throughout the hour-long session like the head cheerleader of sexy..."

| The P Spot® Voted "Naughtiest Night In" |
| "Naughtiest Night In: Michaela Brown's background may be in personal training, but the 26-year-old owner of The P Spot® knows a thing or two about strip dancing. Groups of five to 10 girls can book a one- or two-hour session in Brown's Rhode Island Avenue studio, where she'll teach basic strip-tease moves or pole-dancing techniques...Feeling a little shy? Brown can bring her instruction to your home." (By Julia Beizer | June 14, 2007; 5:20 PM ET Washington Post) |

Michaela did not have to say much to convince the two trendy hosts to fit their feet in 6-inch high heel shoes. Brown spent the majority of the segment, her first major television appearance, demonstrating the seductive leg sequences and chair moves that characterize The P Spot®'s Chairwork class. "The opportunity to share our mission, services and products with RLTV’s established customer base has helped us further penetrate the market more quickly," said Brown. Source: Retirement Living TV |
“Because this is such a specific teaching style,
people always ask me if I am a stripper or if I ever
worked as one. The truth is that I am not from the
industry and I have never even been to a strip
club. I actually think that is a good thing because
when women see an everyday woman like me, do
fabulous things on a pole, they feel like they can
do it too. So, while being a stripper is not my

Michaela on Swinging from a Pole

| "...the bride and bridal party were sporting six-inch stilettos and workout duds as we bumped and grinded our way through what’s called Exoterobics®” or “Strip Aerobics” - a sizzling hot trend in group fitness that teaches moves like the “snake” where you rotate your hips clockwise and seductively move toward the ground in a thigh-burning squat... ...my class was taught by certified personal trainer, Michaela Brown, owner of The P Spot® Fitness Studio of Washington, DC. Halfway through the 60-minute session I had already sweat through my tank. The suggestive squats and lusty lunges seriously hurt (and I mean, hurt so good). 35 minutes in, I was focused on turning my contorted expression into a sexy and salacious smile when a “boom” interrupted my concentration. A fellow bridesmaid was down (she blamed it on her stilettos). Over our raucous laughter, Michaela hollers, “Honey! Don’t worry! Just bring it up sexy!®” Following orders, the fallen maid tucked her hair behind her ear and stood, butt pushed out and chest leading the way. Damn, she looked hot..."

| "Although I can put on a brave front, I must admit I was a little apprehensive about taking Strip Aerobics. I was picturing this big, brightly lit room with ultra-fit women parading around in skimpy clothing. I was afraid the students would laugh at me and critique my moves. I feared the class might involve removing my clothes. Another misconception: I’ve read various reviews of cardio striptease DVDs, and a few people have commented that it wasn’t a good cardio workout. I actually went to the class thinking, “Oh, I’m not expecting this to wear me out.” Now that the class is over, what would I like to say to those people? Throw out those DVD and get yourselves to this class, or one that’s similar in your area. Strip Aerobics at The P Spot not only busted the myth that striptease isn’t a real workout, but there was never a single moment where I felt self-conscious. “Never?” you ask. NEVER. How can that be? I was too busy trying to keep up! And so was everybody else. We were too busy trying to do the moves correctly to worry about checking each other out (much less worrying about critiquing each other)...."
