I’m Maxine Holmes and I set up Pole Fitness in 2005.
I was one of the first instructors in the UK to bring pole dancing to a gym environment encouraging Pole Dancing to be recognised as a sport rather than something reserved for Gentleman’s Clubs. Pole Dancing is great for fitness, strength, fat burning, toning and sculpting. I’ve never known another exercise like it.
I am a fully qualified exercise instructor and am fully insured which means I can teach anywhere and you’re safe in my care. Not all Pole instructors can say this! In addition to this I am also qualified to teach Pilates and am a trained Sports and Remedial Massage therapist. This gives me extensive knowledge of the muscular and skeletal system which benefits my students when they want to strengthen , stretch , rehabilitate or receive a post Pole workout massage.
I have a love of dance and have performed on stage from the tender age of three. Throughout my career I have choreographed over 1000 routines and this is my absolute passion.
I have danced at events all over the UK including at The 02 pre opening ceremony, Sugababes & Kelly Le Roc ‘s Birthday Party, Spiderman 3 After Party and at venues such as Embassy, Mayfair.
Nothing pleases me more than to see one of my girls achieve something they didn’t think possible. My aim as a teacher is to help every student be the best they can be. Whether you want to do complex gymnastic moves, spin gracefully or link a routine together I pride myself on being able to teach a diverse class where everyone and anyone is welcome.
