Pole Passion Fitness

Innovation & Leadership

Pole Passion have been working towards accreditation of Pole Dance Fitness as a recognised form of fitness since 2003 through showcasing pole sport and fitness in our Miss Pole Dance events which have been instrumental in our success in changing public perception. In 2008 Pole Passion received Accreditation for our new Pole Fitness Instructor Training Programmes, finally making Pole Fitness an officially recognised and accredited fitness programmes with Skills Active and the Register of Exercise Professionals.

Pole Fitness is now the latest and fastest growing
exercise choice for women in the World today.

Expert Instructors

When you are considering the benefits of additional training you will want to know you are learning from real people who have been there before, people with real experience, expertise, customer focused ad most of all are passionate. Pole Passion instructors are highly sought after because of the level of training and ongoing commitment to constantly learn and develop new skills. Every day, they gain more extensive real-world experience and bring that to the courses they teach and the courses they write.

Courses & Certification

Whether you are aiming for certification, looking for a fitness class or need an in-depth, practical training experience to transform your skills, our training portfolio has been developed to meet your requirements. Most importantly, Pole Passion has the experience and understanding of learning that enables us to work with our customers to develop learning programmes that will be truly effective to help you and your organisation boost skill levels and knowledge whilst enhancing performance in new areas of fitness or classes.

Worldwide Training

Our Instructor Training Courses are taken by many students and instructors from all over the World. 2010 will see Pole Passion offering a Northern UK venue for Accredited Instructor Training Instructor Training and 2010 also saw Pole Passion expanding our global footprint to include Accredited Instructor Training in Jamaica during our annual event showcase. Our partnerships extend to Mainland Europe, Russia, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Continual Learning

We recognise that learning is not just about attending training courses but is critical to an organisations success, so all Pole Passion training courses are offered as a means of learning new skills that also include the opportunity of ongoing support and networking opportunities to keep up to date with latest skills, information, student safety and general responsibilities through Health & Safety (HSE) requirements. Without proper safe support any learning or skill is quickly eroded either through lack of support or students quickly reaching your standard, both of which are fraught with danger as this may breed 'quick fix' solutions which in turn create the opportunity for dangerous teaching practices and incorrect training methods both leading to class structure breakdown and potential Health & Safety violations.

Our ongoing Continual Learning Lessons and Workshops are designed to support you in achieving your goals and together we develop learning programmes that fit in with this strategy. Go to our Courses & Certification Page

Competition

Competition in any sport offers a healthy element of growth and opportunity to demonstrate what the sport can offer. Pole Passion pioneered the very first UK National competition in 2005 with the inaugural Miss Pole Dance Competition. Since 2005 Pole Passion have organised and judged over 16 National, International and World events including the first World Pole Sport Fitness Competition held in Jamaica in 2009.

Miss Pole Dance promotes Sport and Fitness and demonstrates this through an annual entertaining showcase event that is open to everyone to enjoy the sheer athleticism and expertise of the dedicated pole performers in this industry. Miss Pole Dance represents the very best in pole sport fitness and entertainment and has become the most prestigious pole dance and fitness event in the World attracting interest from media and other Countries keen to follow our lead with requests from literally all over the World to help and assist the introduction of Miss Pole Dance events and advise with the introduction of a recognised structure for bringing pole sport and fitness to new Countries. Current projects include working with Russia, Japan and Brazil who we are helping develop a recognised national standard for pole dance as a national event in sport and fitness. Miss Pole Dance is, without question, the global leader in Pole Dance Competitions and entertainment events.

Innovation - The Portable Free Standing RPole

The RPole was designed by us as we fully understand the challenges met by Pole Instructors and students in setting up studios without the need for steps and ladders which in themselves create a hazard and come under the Working at Height Regulations. Designed by Pole Passion and manufactured to comply with BS EN 957-1:2005 European Safety Standards the RPole has set the standard for portable Pole Fitness with its safe, simple 'no tools' design that does not require stabiliser extensions, extra weight or adjustable feet, making the RPole the perfect portable free standing pole, for home and studio use.

Health & Safety

We take safety very seriously and our attention to class safety is paramount and this is included within our Accredited Pole Fitness Training Programs. Health and Safety at Work (Act) is a primary piece of legislation covering work-related health and safety in the United Kingdom. It sets out responsibilities for health and safety including safety of students and people that can be affected by your classes and instruction. To ensure our students and instructors understand the importance of safe training, our Instructor Training Courses covers; First Aid Training - Click here for First Aid Training  Duty Of Care, Risk Assessment and Hazard Assessment
