In it's second year, we recently we hosted our annual in-house PoleFit Championships. Seven competitors took to the stage to battle it out in a night filled with pole, dance and inspirational performances.  After claiming the title of 2018 PoleFit Champion in the Intermediate division, we caught up with Mandy to find out a bit more about her pre-comp prep, why she loves pole dance so much and and get some inspirational advice she has for anyone thinking about competing.

When we think of getting fit we often think of hitting a gym to push weights or burning calories through a heart pumping HIIT session but how often have we related 

Last term's showcase was nothing short of spectacular with Lyra and Pole performances from both instructors and students. Showcase is all about focusing on the artistic element of pole and lyra where students and instructors are encouraged to unleash their creativity and express themselves in whichever way they feel.

Pole Athletica instructor Yasmine created magic on stage with her carefully constructed light up concept. This piece was so incredible to watch live that it moved audience members to tears.

Bodyweight exercises are great because they can be easily modified to challenge anyone. Adding extra reps, performing the exercises faster or super slowly, and taking shorter breaks are just a few ways to increase intensity.
