About
You...
Sheila,
I am no doubt one of the older students in the S Factor NY group but, somehow, I don't feel it!! I am now at Level 4 and one of "Alex's Girls" as we call ourselves. Alex has taken me on quite a journey, along with my classmates, and now I am going to places I have never been (and I am not talking about the R Bar on the Bowery where one can go and swing on a pole, which is just an added bonus). I have always been into working out, running marathons, dancing and doing the gym thing but Sheila Kelley’s S Factor allows me to really let go. When I am in class, I don't think about anything else - work, problems, or any stress that may have come my way during the week. I must admit, I often get frustrated when I can't do a pole trick like some of the younger women in my class, but Alex is always there to encourage me on my journey.
Sheila, I am a breast cancer survivor and, even though I came through the experience (surgery, chemo, radiation) like a champ eight years ago, I was left uncomfortable about my body. I had a wonderful surgeon who did a wonderful job and I think most of my shyness about my body came from myself and not with how I actually looked. To see me today in my bra and boy shorts, dancing around in front of other women, you would never think I had any inhibitions whatsoever. I have told many of my friends in my age group (over 50 but don't tell anyone) about Sheila Kelley’s S Factor -- they are all fascinated by my stories and I know will come around sometime soon. I was recently at my college/sorority reunion in Miami and told many people there about my S Factor experience and the women gave me the title of the only woman who has LOST weight since graduating from college!

It was such a pleasure to meet you, your husband, your brother and so many other interesting people at your open house at the San Francisco S factor studio. To refresh your memory, a little, I am the guy who asked you to describe your political philosophy in a nutshell. That is a little like asking someone to cram a Lil Minx pole in a purse but I think I got a sense of what your political ideals are. I admire you for mixing that into your business. They seem to go together hand in glove but not everyone would try to use a successful business model to promote a progressive political agenda. |

I am the student who introduced myself at the San Francisco open house and gave you my business card. We spoke briefly about the need to allow flexion/extension/rotation in all planes for spinal health. I very much agree with you and I believe fitness will catch on soon as well. |

This letter is so long overdue and I only recently got the courage to write and send it to you. It was nice to finally meet you. I don’t know if you remember me, but I had a brief moment to introduce myself at the Open House you recently hosted in Los Angeles. |

This is April French from Sheila Kelley's S Factor Encino. I am currently taking Level 2 with Dara McGarry and having the best time! Dara is the most wonderful teacher! She is warm, patient and, best of all, funny. |

I am a 41 year old mother of two incredible teenage boys and currently a Level 3 student. Sundays used to be a day to catch up on sleep. It's now become S Factor day for me and I wake up for it at 7:30 A.M. I drive an hour each way to take class since San Francisco is the closest studio to me. Thank God I have one in driving distance; I am one of the lucky ones. |

After just two days of your workshop, I feel completely empowered and sexy and seductive. I'm only 24 and have gained 15 pounds in the last two years and, when I looked at your enchanting instructors, I went “Wow, I want abs and legs like theirs!” I'm not heavy by any means, just have some new rolls in places I don't want! |
|
Girl, you are an inspiration. It’s awesome to know there are like-minded women out there and there’s a place where we can go to share; the S Factor studio feels like home. |

I've just recently beat ovarian cancer. Yeah! I am not your typical candidate for this condition. I stand 5'5, weigh 135 lbs, I'm 34 years old and I am in good health. I didn't know that I had a tumor until the pain took me to the doctor for a check up. |
 |
I can't believe it has taken me to Level 5 to write to you. Since we were so spoiled back in Level 1 by you popping in and out of class to help, I think I've waited to run into you ever since. |
 |
I took the book with me tonight and used the warm-up to stretch the girls for our class and they loved it. Imagine their surprise when I pulled out the book and said LOOK WHERE I FOUND IT! |

Thank you so much for the S Factor; it has truly been a lifeline to sanity. I am from New Orleans, Louisiana, and my home was flooded with 8 feet of water in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. |
