About me:

I am a 39 year old mother of three boys, (age 12 and 5 year old twins). Prior to having the twins I worked fulltime as an Accountant, and practiced martial arts as a hobby. I am now a Blackbelt in Jujitsu and run my own clubs and teach jujitsu and self defence to children and adults from age 4 upwards.

As a child I was unable to do any sport as I was wheelchair bound for over 3 years due to a back injury. Through choosing my sports carefully I am now fighting fit.

I have been doing pole dance fitness for just over a year now and have never looked back.

Why I started:

I started pole dance fitness due to needing to find a gentler exercise after having a serious operation on my stomach.
As soon as I was given the go ahead I started with Pole Secrets, which was just over a year ago.

What pole dance fitness has done for me:

I have found that pole dance fitness compliments my martial arts brilliantly, and my figure and posture are greatly improved plus my body is more toned. Not only that, but I have overcome my fear of heights and can now climb a ladder with out getting panic attacks! I have also made a alot of new friends through the classes which is wonderful.

What I think of Pole Secrets:

The teachers are all very professional, friendly, encouraging and awe-inspiringly talented. The difference between Pole Secrets classes and other exercise classes I have taken is that I am always looking forward to each class, not dragging myself along because I know I should. It is constantly challenging and really satisfying when you find you can do something that a few weeks before you were thinking would be totally impossible. I have made really good friends with the other ladies in the class and would totally recommend Pole Secrets to anyone looking for an exciting, addictive and really fun way to get fit
