Today is the soft opening of Vertical Fusion Boulder.
Way back when I used to love pole dancing. I loved taking classes, I loved teaching, I loved moving my body, I loved the ladies (and gentlemen) who shared my passion. I am truly grateful for the things I learned and people I met.
Then I took some time off to take care of business. You, dear readers, probably know way too much about that.
I have spent a lot of time holed up in a tiny, cluttered world and it’s time to come up for air.
Then I met Lemony. Magically, amazingly, I am involved in the opening of her third pole studio in two years.
Today is the culmination of her dream, to bring healing dance, pole art and pole fitness to the women and men of the Front Range and I am lucky enough to be a part of it. Lucky to get a piece of the action, lucky to be embraced by a supportive and accepting community, lucky to be part of something bigger than me.
I didn’t have to get involved in the opening of the new location to reap the benefits. I did it because I believe in Lemony. I believe in her message, her heart and her conviction. Plus, anyone who can make an eight hour training session and meeting not only bearable but actually enjoyable must know a thing or two about leadership.
Vertical Fusion is located inside the APEX Movement and Free Running Studio. It’s where I drop my kids off for a parkour class and come back an hour later to see them red-faced, sweaty and ALL LIT UP. And there are a shitload of shirtless, hot young men running around. Seriously, what more could a woman want?

Well, I guess a woman could want Lemony’s husband who not only built the studio for free (more or less) but he brought sandwiches to the meeting? Swoon! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
I’m training to teach so I may or may not have a post for you tomorrow. And my Macbook Air is acting up again. Now the track pad doesn’t work which makes it kind of hard to trouble shoot because I can’t click on anything.
Back to the Apple “geniuses” for me. Yes, that is a touch of sarcasm you detect.
BUT, you can come take a class and be part of my world. Vertical Fusion is offering a stellar grand opening special and I might even send you home with a child sized hula hoop. Check it out.

I showed up early this morning for an instructor training and had to pick my way through dozens of sleeping, shirtless men. WHAT?
There is a parkour jam in town and APEX has turned into a giant crash pad. I know it’s wrong but I couldn’t help but take pictures of the guys as they slept, is that weird? Probably, but they look like such angels when they’re sleeping.
It’s probably wrong for me to post this picture, too but her booty is so fine and I’m such a creeper. Did I get permission to post this photo? Uhhh, yes no. I guess I’ll have to categorize this post under “guilty pleasures.”
Afterwards Weili led everyone in a warmup before the dress rehearsal for the grand opening showcase on Sunday, August 11th at 2pm (3850 Frontier Ave, Suite 250 Boulder, CO). Come see what we’re up to. I can’t guarantee you will see any sleeping men but several might fall from the ceiling. It’s raining men, hallelujah!
Aw shit. Time to cut the crap.
3D bug models that our neighbor gave Scrotus for his birthday several years ago. He finally got around to making them and abandoned them on my counter. TRASH.
Things are a little tense around the house because Lonny thought it would be a good idea to bring home seven “scented” kid’s sized hula hoops. Why? Why?! Because they were a dollar. Sigh. I’m giving them away to neighbor kids.
I wanna sniff your hula hoops.
They are fake fruity flavors!
Definitely looking forward to taking some pole classes at the new studio. Looking at the schedule this week if money allows.. dolla bill$ yall. I miss doing tricks!
This is going to sound so dirty, but … I need you to bottom me, or base me, or whatever. My back could stand to be stretched out!
Any time!!
Ahh. I can almost feel the traction.
Does your laptop have a USB port? My older son has a Mac laptop and he got a wireless mouse that has this little thing that plugs into one of the USB ports and then he doesn’t have to use the track pad cause he hates it.
I have USB ports but no corded mouse. I’m sure I could dig one up but I have an appt at the apple store today. Since the wi-fi still isn’t working right (even with the patch) I’m going to ask for a replacement for the whole thing.
I think you misunderstood me, it’s a wireless mouse, which means no cord. But since I already read you got a new computer, I guess it’s moot now. lol
Ah. I have a wireless mouse but hadn’t gotten around to pairing it which initially requires pointing and clicking. I’m just glad to have a new machine.
I noticed that you use the word “lucky” a lot to explain your involvement in all these wonderful things. Bullshit! Luck has nothing to do with it. Its because you are wonderful and incredibly supportive, plus you work hard and stay committed. As is Lemoney. Thats why this venture looks like its going to be a success!
Thanks Tabby! You are right, I work hard and give a lot. My challenge has always been to find the right place to put my resources into. I tend to always give it away and without enough scrutiny about where I give it to. I feel so good about this, I hope it continues along the same path it has been since we started.
Ah, nothing wrong with a booty pic… 🙂
Happy Sunday.
I just wanted to snuggle them all. The hunks and the booty.
I’m excited to check out the studio. And the guys falling from the roof. Maybe not in that order.
Oh I hope you do! I’ll be there on the grand opening day around noon. And the guys are falling from the ceiling, but usually jumping from one place to another. Definitely watch your step! But I am gonna love asking any of a dozen trained ninjas to walk me to my car when it gets dark.
I bought a package from their new deals (and I bought a pole for my house!) so I’ll definitely be checking it out! I’m planning to come by Sun, but I have a half marathon Sat and it depends how I’m feeling.
Woot!
And really? Scented hoola hoops? Only in Boulder would no one bat an eye at someone sniffing a hoola hoop…
