What is Pole Fitness? Pole Fitness is an effective form of exercise as well as an art form. As one of the fastest growing athletic industries, Pole Fitness gives people of all shapes, sizes, and athletic capability the chance to try something new that will improve their health and confidence overall. Pole Fitness combines gymnastics moves, dance styles and strength holds for a full body workout. This sport allows people to start at any level and offers a new and exciting way to work out! What are the health benefits of Pole Fitness? Like any other sport, Pole Fitness can improve a person’s overall health when done on a regular basis. Because Pole Fitness requires you to lift your own body weight, you use muscles in every part of your body that you may not have used before. Along with the physical changes your body will make, Pole Fitness can improve cardiorespiratory endurance and flexibility, but for some, the greatest benefit from Pole Fitness is a boost to their confidence. Time and again, people will mention how much more confident they are about themselves after taking a Pole Fitness class; that they were able to release an inner power or personality they never knew existed. When did Pole Fitness start and where is it heading? What we know as Pole Fitness today, started in 1994 with the opening of the first ever Pole Studio owned by Fawnia Dietrich. Pole Fitness has evolved greatly since then, with thousands of pole studios across the world and different forms of Pole Fitness being born much like the different styles of Ice Skating. Pole Fitness popularity expanded quickly and in 2010 the International Pole Sports Federation was created to unite pole sports athletes and their countries to take them to the world Games and Olympics. As of July 2011, there were over 180,000 Pole Athletes across the globe and over 1,200 studios in more than 70 countries. In January of 2012 the first ever Pole Dance Fitness and Pole Sport Survey was created by United Pole Artists and Mighty Grip dedicated to gathering quality information that will move Pole Fitness closer to mainstream sports and fitness. The survey is being conducted worldwide for the purpose of gathering information to measure the strength and commercial power of the Pole Dance Sport and Fitness Industry.
