Pole Passion – Empowering Confidence, Fitness & Fun Since 2001
​Founded in 2001 by Kay Penney, Pole Passion has transformed the fitness industry by championing pole and aerial fitness as a unique and empowering way to stay fit. With a focus on accessibility, empowerment, and a commitment to breaking down stereotypes, Pole Passion has grown from a single studio in the UK to a global movement spanning Europe, South Africa, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, and Japan. Our classes, competitions, and instructor training programs bring the dynamic fusion of strength, flexibility, and artistry to people worldwide.

We’re passionate about “training the trainers” through our internationally accredited instructor programs. Since 2003, we’ve empowered new and experienced pole fitness instructors to bring their best to their students. Our training programs follow rigorous standards of health and safety, informed by the expertise of leading osteopaths and biomechanical specialists, and we work closely with insurers to ensure qualified instruction across all our classes and events.
