Meet the instructors at Elevate Pole Fitness Studio

Zara is the founder of Elevate Pole Fitness Studio. She had no dance or fitness background when she first started pole dance, and never dreamed her body would be capable of the things it can do now, let alone that one day she would be teaching classes! She first started teaching pole fitness classes in Leeds in 2021 and is now hoping to share her passion further with the Pudsey and Leeds community.

Odessa discovered her passion for pole in 2021. After years of lifting weights in the gym but consistently avoiding upper body workouts, she found a new challenge and inspiration in pole fitness. Embracing the physical and artistic aspects of the discipline, Odessa decided to share her enthusiasm with others. She loves how inclusive pole fitness is, allowing people from all fitness backgrounds to enjoy the sport.

Leo's journey with pole fitness began in late 2020. With the lockdown restrictions in place, Leo discovered pole fitness as a way to stay active and challenged at home. As places reopened, she eagerly joined pole classes and quickly fell head over heels in love with the sport.  What sets pole apart from traditional gym workouts is the combination of strength, flexibility, and artistry – something Leo adores.

As someone who never enjoyed traditional gym settings, Leo is grateful to have found an activity that not only gets her fit but also brings her joy.
She's thrilled to be teaching pole at Elevate, where she's part of a vibrant community that shares her passion.
