  • BOOTY BLAST #1


    Love the classes!!! Love, love Booty Blaster!!! Marion is a sweetheart!

  • STAFF ROCKS


    Your staff is extremely helpful and nice. I came to one class and when I returned home I immediately signed up for my next week of classes. I'm so excited! I LOVE ART OF THE CATWALK

  • Boys Pole Too!


    Love the classes, do not like that it is by policy a women-only studio. Male pole dance especially is growing into an accepted art. Let the men try if they want; I have a bunch of friends who would!

  • Luv 2 Pole


    Hey Marion, how are you? I'm not sure how well you remember me, but I used to come to your studio when it was on Monroe Street and continued for a bit after when you moved it to Tennessee Street. I tell people about it all the time. I had so much fun when I attended classes there, especially the Pole Dancing classes. I always tell them that was the most fun I had exercising ever. I hope to be able to do it again here in Atlanta, or wherever I am.

  • Groupon Customer


    Going to Art of the Catwalk is the best part of my day. It is amazing to find a work out that you love and always look forward to. It was definitely challenging at first but by sticking with it, I found that I was always improving and getting better in all my classes. I can now say I am addicted to my work out routine and love it!

  • In Love with Catwalk


    I love Art of the Catwalk! I've tried several classes there and they were all amazing. I really feel like your center promotes positive self-image in women, from yoga to boot camp; from private parties to pinup photo shoots. I recently spent several months in New Jersey and I couldn't find anything like Art of the Catwalk anywhere close. I had been "bragging" to friends and family here about my awesome fitness studio and everyone loves the concept.

  • Pole for your Soul


    All I really needed to know, I learned in pole dancing...
    - Strong, confident, flexible and beautiful is the best way to be.
    - Put your high heels on, push your chest out, smile and you'll always look good because you're a queen.
    - If you say "I can't do that," you're right - so don't. A lot of things look a lot harder than they are.
    - You might fall, and if you do, get right back up and keep going.
    - And most importantly, if you don't get it right the first time, do it again until you do. It'll be SO worth it.

  • Sweat Equity


    Feeling really grateful tonight to all my instructors at Art of the Catwalk, and especially Marion Shaffer for creating an atmosphere of fun and empowerment for women. The emphasis is never on what we cannot do, even with physical limitations, but on what we CAN do. I work hard and sweat alot, and have muscles and confidence to show for it.
    :-)....Thanx ladies!!!!

  • Confidence


    I was getting dressed today and my darling boyfriend looks at me and says "babe you have a certain pep in your step and it's been there for months...I like". I thought about it and you are to blame for that pep in my step. Going to the Catwalk has toned me up, given me self confidence about my post-baby body and my ass looks amazing! Thank you Marion, you are truly amazing.
    I Love You girl!!!!

  • Homesick for Catwalk


    Hi Marion,
    Unfortunately I no longer reside in the Tallahassee area. :( I left Tallahassee in August 2009 and Art of the Catwalk is seriously the number one thing that I miss! I tell everyone about the studio and my wonderful experiences. I now live in Tampa, FL and have had no luck finding a studio of the same caliber. Sooo... have you considered opening a studio here in Tampa, FL? I truly believe that this is an ideal location for another AOTC.

    Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

    - Oluseyi :)

  • Please open Catwalk in Gainesville


    I've moved back to Gainesville, where I am getting out of shape rather quickly because of a lack of fun ways to exercise.. Please open up an Art of the Catwalk here in Gainesville! We need you!

  • RESTORE REVITALIZE RENEW


    I just wanted to tell you how much I APPRECIATE your workouts! You are always prepared with a new workout each day which always focuses on a different body area but incorporates a total body workout and includes cardio. You push us to do our personal best and inspire us to want to improve, while allowing everyone in the class, all at very different fitness levels, to workout together. I've never enjoyed going to a gym and working out on machines. I love having a new and different workout each day, using my body to strengthen my body, I have been working out now for almost 3 months and have seen a noticeable change in my strength, muscle tone and cardio fitness.

    Thanks for all the effort you put in to my physical health!

  • LOST 3 POUNDS FIRST WEEK


    Well, after just one full week of classes I have lost another 3 pounds! I haven't really changed anything else in my routine or my eating, so I have to credit the hard (& FUN) workouts I've been enjoying (yes, enjoying!) at AOTC. Thank you both for all of your constant encouragement, support and friendly attitudes. I feel like I have new friends! :-) And Marion, thank you so very much for providing this unique and amazing opportunity in Tallahassee. A great & wonderful change has been started in me - the first day I walked in the door! I'm so excited to be on this journey!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

    -Amy

  • I Miss the Catwalk


    I was a member at the Catwalk for a year, and I loved it! If I hadn't moved away, I'd still be there! Marion (owner) is super sweet, and really wants every person that walks through the door to feel their absolute best. The staff is incredible & it's cheaper than many gyms out there.

  • Art of the Catwalk sizzles


    Ladies get your groove on! Art of the Catwalk sizzles. A great time to shed your inhibitions as well as a few pounds. Beyond the pole classes which are calibrated for different levels of proficiency, AOTC offers terrific classes in Zumba, Pilates, aerobics, yoga...the list goes on. Pilates instructor is exceptional -- an unexpected find. Pole instructors Laura Watson and Trina Condo are wonderful (both mothers) with bodies that are truly inspirational. I haven't had a chance to take classes with all the instructors, but all so far have been enjoyable. The atmosphere is friendly and accommodating to all ages, shapes and sizes.

  • Jillian is the Bomb


    I only wished I lived in Tallahasse, but I enjoyed every minute of class. I didn't like the sexy burn the next few days, but I made me feel like I got a real fun work out! Thanks for the awesome experice and the instructor Jillan was phenominal!

    I will be back!

  • Hi Marion its Jennifer


    Hi Marion its Jennifer, My daughter and I started classes there this summer, and sooo happy with your classes. My daughter was taking 2-3 classes a day and lost 20 pounds. Shes skinny minny now. I am getting her hand me downs! This semester I am taking Ass and Abs and my first class was last Mon. My daughter took it also. Great class and fits in with my time schedule. And of course I dont miss Doreens Zumba class MWFS. I think she's the best thing you have going. But its getting hard to find a place on the floor since its so popular. But we make do.

    Hope this info was helpful. Jennifer

  • Zumba Fun At Art of the Catwalk


    Hi Marion,

    In September, I will have been at the Catwalk for two years. I want you to know Doreen is the absolute best instructor I've ever had. I adore her, and I love the Zumba classes. I know a lot of your population is college students, but you also have working women- women where it is convenient to come in
    Since I've begun the ZUMBA classes I've lost even more weight! I just bought my FIRST EVER dress in a misses size!!!!! Yes, even though its fun, it's still HARD WORK to lose that weight.

    Please keep the class for us professionals that need a gym that caters to them too! The only workout I've ever stuck with is Zumba.

    Thanks for your time!

  • Love From Nancy


    Hi Marion,

    It was good to meet you and I love the Catwalk. I love Pilates, I never loved working out before as much as I do doing Pilates. I also love the kickboxing but my knees can't take the pounding so my Dr. said lay off any exercise that is tough on the knee joint. I see the new yoga class you have so I will be doing that plus I will try some dance classes.

    I am so happy you started the club. All your employees and instructors have been so encouraging and helpful.

    I am feeling so much better since I have been coming to the Catwalk and keep up the good work.

    Sincerely,
    Nancy

  • Thanks Marion


    Hey Marion,

    I cannot thank you enough for Art of the Catwalk! I've been intimidated by gyms my entire life, and I can't believe I've lost 15 pounds since I've joined!!!! I've been a type 1 diabetic for 18 years, and this is the first gym that lets me decide what's right for my body while working out. No one tries to baby me for my illness, and your trainers have pushed me in a positive way, and they trust that i know my body.

    I hate to say this, but I was extremely intimidated by the Catwalk, and if it wasn't for my friend Dani, I wouldn't have joined. I was looking at the website back in January, and I didn't feel like I belonged, even though I wanted to take dance classes. But I have had AOTCW on my mind since then, and am sooooo happy I finally joined!

    Thank you!
