Pole Fitness Classes were started in Wellington, in 2003 and were founded by Isabella, who set it up believing there was a gap in the marketplace. Pole dancing was getting a lot of press and women were starting to say “I would like to give it a go” or “Could I do that” but not necessarily wanting to be professionals. Women genuinely were interested in how other women trained to become pole dancers.

Isabella, a professional pole dancer, wanted to pass her knowledge of pole dancing into training and apply it to the industry in New Zealand. With a passionate self-belief instilled in her and strong family values, she started out, passing on her knowledge to professional dancers. Then she noticing the interest from women of all ages who wanted to learn the discipline and about themselves, their bodies and their self expression.

Monique, brought many years of expert dance experience to the floor. She is a professionally trained ballet dancer for the RNZBallet. Dance has always been her strength which she has carried through to her dancing and choreography career.

Both Isabella and Monique focused on developing a new style of integrated fitness based around a pole and table dancing techniques which they have been working on over many months. The classes have continued to go from strength to strength enjoying the gaining popularity and reputation.

In the last 18 months, with Isabella's move from teaching, to advising, we introduced Sharyn, who shares the passion for Pole Fitness that Isabella and Monique have. She brings strengths in teaching and a graceful style as well as being proof that anyone can learn pole work with dedication and hard work and can achieve a lot through this style of dance. During the day, Sharyn is an IT Educator.

Recently we had the sad announcement that Monique is leaving us for the merry shores of England!! Monique and her partner will be in London in the coming weeks and we are sad to see her go, but wish her the best of luck in the UK and we expect emails!! We will be welcoming a new face to the Team and we will introduce her in the coming weeks and along with changes to the Team, we have brought in some new and very exciting updates to the teaching regime and to the class formats.
