\"\"Libby<\/strong>, the promo rep for Pole Fitness Society\u00a0<\/strong>tells us all about her experience. If you’re interested in improving your fitness or you want to enter competitions and showcases – Pole may be for you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is Pole Fitness Society all about?<\/h4>\n

We hold Pole Fitness lessons each week, ranging in experience from beginner to advance, as well as flexibility classes twice a week. We work on anything from flow and floorwork to splits and spins.<\/p>\n

We pride ourselves on our diversity. When I first started I could barely hold myself up – let alone climb the pole! But with the support of the instructors and other members I can climb to the top without falling on my face anymore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What sort of events are put on by the society?<\/h4>\n

As well as our weekly lessons and classes, at the end of each term we hold group lessons to get everyone to try something new.<\/p>\n

We host an annual competition, as well as entering other competitions and showcases. And we go to SportsVest<\/a> each year – any excuse for us to show off our skills!<\/p>\n

Why, when and how did you join?<\/h4>\n

I knew I wanted to try Pole Fitness for a few years before coming to university, but I could never afford the transport to my nearest center, so when I found out Loughborough had a Pole Fitness Society and lessons were held on campus, I couldn’t wait to sign up.<\/p>\n

I joined in my first year, I didn’t even need to attend the free sessions in give it a go week to know I wanted to join!<\/p>\n

Best or most memorable moments from your time in the society?<\/h4>\n

The most memorable moments for me have to be the showcase and SportsVest<\/a>. It was amazing seeing so much talent and getting to see different pole artists and be taught by new people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Describe your society in three words\u2026<\/h4>\n

Supportive, friendly and hilarious.<\/p>\n

What would you say to someone considering joining?<\/h4>\n

Come on down to the free sessions in give it a go week and you will soon learn that the sport is highly addictive!<\/p>\n
