Why I Love Pole testimonials from Pole Passion Pole Fitness Classes

Debbie Nichols Pole Passion Crawley Worth

 I enjoy Jana's Crawley Worth class.  Jana's warm up's and down are different to any other I have done in many a long year.  Dance intensive and fun......and exhausting!  Jana also treats each person individually and tries to build up their weaknesses by working on combo's.

....and here is the poem.  All points I made in it still stand (and I am still working on some of the moves I couldn't do then !!!)

Why I Love Pole

“Why do you love pole”? I was asked today

How to put it in words, what to say?

Is it the challenge that brings me back week after week?

The great sense of achievement that I seek

By finally getting that evasive move?

Is it because to myself I am trying to prove

I’m not old, I’m not knackered?– Look what I can do

And if I can do this I’m sure you can too

The bruises we wear with pride – call them pole kisses

They show how we’ve tried.  Let me tell you that this is

The fittest and strongest that I’ve ever been

Me upside down on a pole to believe must be seen

Not to mention the friendships, advice and support

From all other polers enjoying the sport

It may take me months to achieve one position

But I don’t need a psychiatrist or a physician

I believe in myself now – for the first time.  You see

That’s why I love pole, that’s what pole’s done for me

My pole experience.

When I first started pole I was like the little caterpillar you said. I was shy, body conscious, quiet, and dealing with stress and anxiety disorder from a hard personal life. After meeting some beautiful kind caring people who I now call my friend I am a true butterfly like I aimed to me. I'm happy, so confident, feel good about myself an addicted to pole Where it distresses me and allows me I just be me in my own world of pole. Everyone in the pole passion team are awesome at what they do and truly make the class an amazing experience which I would recommend to everyone :-).

Kirsty Seymour Pole Passion Worth

So why after 4 months am I still doing pole? Because it’s great at every stage from learning your first fireman spin to learning to invert- there is always something new to work on a new way to progress and develop your skills. Most importantly the teachers are amazing so supportive and they even create individual plans for everyone in the class. It’s been awesome and I can only see it getting better :-) Just want to say a massive thank you Tamara for all your support and guidance :-)

Bella Monnery Pole Passion Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing www.polepassion.com

Pole Passion’s newest recruit and  fitness expert Bella Monnery is more than sexy hip swirls and happy hip shakes!!

Fitness preparation and training for tough mudder 2014

For over 3hours a week of pole, Bella is using her pole techniques for training for one of the hardest and most gruelling and physically challenging courses on the planet.

She will be using the pole techniques for upper body strength to get her up the ropes, over the walls and across the monkey bars.

Her Kickboxing and cardio classes for fitness and strength.

Her Gym sessions, and at least 2 runs a week. 1 long distance, 9 miles plus, 1 hill run. 

Bella commented, ‘ I actually love all the training :) I remember when I first started running, 1 mile was hard! It's amazing to see yourself get stronger and faster, it's a great feeling of achieving.

The hardest thing is finding the time lol I drag my dogs along for some of the runs.. We go in the rivers together too! 

My biggest fear.....

Hmmm, there are a few! 

Electric shocks and ice cold water is what I'm dreading most! 

My reasons for entering....

I'm probably a little mad lol

But, I love a challenge :)

I entered a few smaller obstacle courses last year.... Now I want to go for the big one!! 

Yes this is a big challenge! But I know I will love every minute :)’

London South is Europe’s most gruelling Tough Mudder event! Set in acres of barren jagged farm land and hills, not to mention all the obstacles designed by the special forces, mud and water!!
