Teacher
Cat began her pole fitness journey in 2019, initially driven by curiosity for aerial silks. After purchasing a Groupon, the silk class led her to peek into the neighboring pole classroom. What started as a playful surprise for her husband quickly turned into a passionate pursuit. Although Cat found pole challenging and far from what she expected, the difficulty sparked a deep intrigue and commitment. With no prior dance or fitness background, Cat discovered that pole fitness was the perfect alternative to traditional gyms. The sport became Cat’s sole form of exercise, replacing the dreaded cardio and confusing gym machines. By the end of 2020, Cat began teaching pole, eager to share the transformative power of the sport. Through teaching, Cat emphasizes that pole is accessible to everyone and can foster immense mental and physical growth. Pole fitness not only built strength and skill but also boosted confidence and transformed her personality. From a shy student in the corner of the studio to a pole instructor, Cat’s journey is a testament to the power of pole fitness.
