Kerry - Pole Instructor

Hi all, my name is Kerry and I´ve been poling seriously for around 5 years over a 7 year period taking a few years out to have babies. I have been back to beginners level twice so I know how it feels to start and to restart pole.

I am Xpert certified instructor and have been teaching now for around 2 years. I teach beginners classes but also mixed levels in my Trending Tricks and Transitions class.

I love to teach, I love to share my passion, I want everyone in my classes to leave with a smile and feel they have achieved something.

Pole is my therapy and my escape and I want others to feel the same. I strive to create a safe, empowering and happy place for all.

I am a mummy of 2 girls, I hold several fitness and sports qualifications which I use to keep content fresh. By day I am a physiotherapy assistant practitioner within a busy MSK outpatient setting, so I teach in a way to protect your body from injury.

I would love to see you around studio soon...
