Sarah
Sarah attended her first pole fitness class in 2016 and was instantly hooked! This has driven her desire to get qualified and she recently became a certified Xpert Trainer in Pole Fitness Levels 1 & 2. The things Sarah loves most about pole is that it’s not only great for your body but also your mind. It’s a fun exercise class with a tight knit and supportive community and really increases your self-esteem as you can visibly see a difference in your strength and flexibility over time.
When Sarah isn’t hanging upside down, she spends her time working as a Buying Manager for a homewares company designing and sourcing eco-friendly home products from India, Vietnam and Indonesia
