Since its opening in April, Studio Chrome at 164 Saratoga Ave. in South Glens Falls has been attracting a growing clientele looking for a different way to get in shape.
Owner Terri Murray has incorporated pole dancing for clients seeking something different.
According to Murray, Studio Chrome is the first fitness studio of its kind in the area that uses pole dancing. She said that it is more than dancing and fitness. It’s also about confidence, self-esteem and camaraderie.
Referred to as “pole sports,” the routine is recognized by the Global Association of International Sports Federation as an official performance sport, and it is even being considered as a future Olympic sport. It involves acrobatics and dance moves on a vertical pole.
