Meet Jeannie, a passionate and determined individual who embarked on her fitness journey at Elite with the aim of integrating flexibility and conditioning into her heavy powerlifting program. Her dedication paid off as she achieved top 10 all-time rankings, and earning her a spot at the Worlds two years in a row. Along the way, it led her to become certified in strength and conditioning while continuing her healing benefits from dance.

Recognizing the importance of balance and rest, Jeannie decided to take a step back from powerlifting and redirected her focus towards building overall strength for better overall health. This shift has her go all in to pole dancing, where she found a captivating and enjoyable form of exercise that contributed to her body's and minds well-being.

Jeannie had the opportunity to perform in Elite Showcases, and even compete, achieving first-place victory in her category at PSO Liberty 2023. With a continuous passion for fitness and an unwavering determination to push her boundaries, Jeannie continues her journey here at Elite.

Jackie took her first pole class in January of 2017 and fell in love. While her dance background dates back to toddlerhood, no other style connected with her at the same level or felt more viscerally rewarding than pole. She was hooked. Almost immediately, she threw herself into classes, taking as many as possible and cross-training with yoga and weightlifting. Jackie took a huge leap in 2018 and participated in her first ever competition (PSO Northeast) and placed second in her division. In 2019, Jackie was invited to join the Elite Teacher Training Program, an extensive teaching and assisting program offered here at Elite. Her goal is to share the strength, empowerment, and joy she has found through pole with all of her students and peers.
