  Holly has been poling since 2019 when she finally gathered the confidence to go to her first pole fitness class, and completely fell in love. Holly has her Xpert Pole Instructor qualification, Exercise to Music and First Aid. Her style of pole is all about flexibility, she loves a super bendy move! She also loves a scary drop or flip!! As our Choreography instructor, you can also find her slinking around a pole in her favourite heels as pole dancing is her true passion and she cannot resist a bit of choreo. Holly has over 17 years of experience in belly dancing which has given her the transferable skills for pole dancing classes. She couldn’t be happier than when she is teaching pole because she loves seeing her students come out of their shell and gain confidence in themselves, and their bodies. She loves seeing friendships blossom and students lifting each other up in class. The aim in Hollys classes is to get you feeling sassy, sexy and confident - but most importantly, to have fun. 

 Leah is Xpert trained, she started her pole journey back in 2019 when she plucked up the courage to try a class and has never looked back. Pole Fitness has been Leahs safe place ever since she started classes, and getting fit without feeling like she’s exercising is a bonus! Leah loves anything dynamic, moving from one trick to another in exciting ways. 

This is amazing for building both strength and stamina, but her all-time favourite trick is the classic, Ayesha. Leah loves helping people achieve things they never thought possible. She finds it so rewarding to be able to teach others the knowledge and confidence to progress in class. Pole has always been a place of empowerment for Leah, and she loves creating an uplifting atmosphere in her classes so students can be themselves, and also have a laugh..

She has had many years of experience training with various aerial teachers and performers in London which has prepared her perfectly to pass on her experience to create fun, interesting and challenging classes!

Hannah has her Xpert Pole instructor qualification, Kids Aerial qualification, and first aid. She had such a natural talent of teaching that she quickly became qualified, and we jumped at the chance of adding her to our team.
