Sarah (Pole Fitness)
Sarah is a married mother of 3 children. She jumped into Pole Fitness almost 3 years ago after a 50lb weight loss left her feeling a need to tone her neglected muscles. She came into poledancing with no previous dance or gymnastic background and progressed with hard work and determination. Her gains in both strength and flexibility however come second to her increase in self-awareness and self-confidence.
Sarah feels a passion for the art of poledancing which brought her to Capital Missfits, first as a student. Her love of helping fellow students and friends is what prompted her desire to teach.
Sarah is PFIC certified and has performed twice at the Toronto Pole Dance Fitness Showcase.
Chelsea (Pole Fitness)
Chelsea is the mother of two very active young boys. They are also the two main reasons she felt the need to stay active and in shape.
Chelsea was also a very active child, always walking on the monkey bars, climbing her swing set, hanging off any bars she could find, all with the objective to have fun. She never thought that one day she would be teaching a pole fitness class, having just as much fun as she did when she was a kid.
Pole Fitness has given her a high level of confidence, self esteem, positive self image, strength, flexibility, and the ability to help others achieve the same kind of self satisfaction that they are searching for.
Christine (Pole Fitness)
Christine has been dancing for over 20 years with a background in ballet, jazz, salsa, hip hop, belly dance and pole fitness. She is a certified instructor with PFIC and loves the ongoing challenge of leaning new pole tricks. The focus of her classes is taking the spins and tricks you know and putting them into routines while learning some new moves along the way!
