​
Lauren’s pole journey began in 2019 and quickly became a true passion. She gave it a try because she hated the gym (let’s be honest—who doesn’t?), but she stayed for the friendships, the acceptance, the strength, and the undeniable badass energy of the pole community.
With two years of teaching experience, Lauren brings a keen eye for detail, a strong focus on safety, and a deep belief that every bit of progress—no matter how small—is worth celebrating. For her, it’s not about perfection; it’s about empowerment, fun, and fierce vibes.
Lauren’s mission is to make sure every student feels strong, supported, and confident—while having an absolute blast on the pole.
Lou
Pilates/Pole Instructor
Lou is a lover of tricks and shapes, and these days she very much prefers being upside down than right way up. She loves to spend countless hours exploring the possibilities of fluidity through transitions, a game she call the "anatomical geometry" of pole.
Lou is also a fully qualified Pilates instructor with 11 years of teaching experience.
Her latest accomplishment is taking out the Amatuer section of AAPC Finals in 2024.
