Yes, punk rock and aerobics can mix

Participants are encouraged to dress punk and show off their body art while sweating to Le Tigre, Jane's Addiction and other music not heard at most gyms.

Rather than signing up for a rigorous and gruelling fitness regime and ultimately making yourself very *very* miserable, why not venture outside the box and try something different. Inject the fun back into fitness with the Pole Aerobics kit. The two good things about it are you don’t need to install it – it goes up and comes down really easily, no nails included – and you don’t need to be a certified lap dancer to enjoy it. It’s sturdy enough to hold your weight and moreover it’ll withstand all the outrageous gyrating moves. If you’re worried you’ll break your neck while doing an upside down twirl, the top piece can be screwed into the ceiling, giving you a sturdier pole and piece of mind.
