Before OTPST, I was grinding through HIIT, weights, running, and Pilates, and wondering why I was always exhausted and in pain, frustrated that I wasn’t strong enough. So I didn’t think I needed ANOTHER workout when I first heard about OTPST. When I was training for pole competition Abby so kindly prepared me a program to focus more on maintenance and recovery. Honestly I’ve never felt stronger since!! Only 5 weeks in I hit my deadlift and Iron X out of no where, and better headstands too!! I finally have more energy to make space and time to work on more fun stuff, instead of not so fun gym stuff. And i’m not in so much pain anymore!! My future self and shoulder joints are so grateful for OTPST and its lovely community!

I started OTPST because I was in a tricks class one day and saw a fellow student achieving incredible feats on the pole. She attributed her success to Abby and OTPST. signed up for OTPST immediately once class was over. I was making slow progress in my pole journey. I had goals and tricks I wanted to accomplish but I wasn’t sure how to achieve them. I had resigned myself to the fact that it might take me years to see progress in my pole journey. However, since training with Abby, I have made more progress ij 3 months than I had in a year. I am confident in my strength now, which has enabled me to nail tricks much faster than before and achieve dream tricks like unicorn, iguanas and crossed make layback. Thanks to Abby and OTPST, I am building routines for showcases and competitions that are complex and powerful and I am working towards becoming like the dancers I look up to. To anyone who is training pole, OTPST is a non-negotiable. It is essential to becoming the best athlete we can be. STRONGER TOGETHER!!

Before OTPST, I struggled with consistency in my strength. I could do some moves, but I wasn’t fully stable in them. My shoulder engagement wasn’t always solid, my inverts felt heavy, and I relied more on momentum than controlled strength. I also felt stuck in certain tricks because I didn’t have the foundational conditioning to support progression. I feel more confident and secure on the pole now thanks to OTPST! My inverts feel lighter. My spins feel cleaner. I trust my grip and my engagement more. I’m not just performing moves- I’m owning them with control. There’s less fear and more intention behind everything I do!
