If you are open minded Fly Together Fitness in Somerville is a kick ass pole fitness studio. Ultra inclusive of gender and body size and I personally think very friendly to people who are "weak" lmao. I couldn't lift anything beyond 35 lbs and now I can pull my body up a pole with ease after 6 months of classes. Also the vibes are very good for low confidence athletes. students and teachers alike encouraging each other. Sometimes you spend all class trying to achieve a trick and when you finally do you will usually hear someone in the background be like oh shit you did it and start clapping lol

Regardless of if you have an interest in pole fitness, consider a "hobby" body training sport like pole dance or rock climbing or break dancing or something similar. I find that when you have the ability to focus on more concrete goals other than "make my body stronger" like I want to land this trick or I want to climb this level it can make it so much easier to stick to it. I've started and quit exercising my whole life until I picked up a hobby sport rather than just weight training
