Lydia Bassal

Welcoming Lydia Bassal to the corner this week

 

 

She's from Mexico City

 

"I've  been practicing polefitness for almost a year and a half, I attend pole class at Gravity Pole Fitness Studio although I have my own pole at home." 

 

She started poling because one of her best friends owned a pole and encouraged her to try it. She found it difficult at first because she was not use to exercise, but after 5 months she started inverting and that was amazing for her.

 

 

 

This encourage her to start a diet, take up running and possibly the most important part was her instructor. "She's amazing as a teacher and as a friend, she always had the patience I needed to nail a trick."

 

 

"My inspiration is Marlo Fisken she's awesome!"

 

"I love to be upside down and spinning, I think my favorite move is the extended butterfly and my nemesis is the handspring, that's my pole goal for September!! Because I'm going to pole expo Las Vegas, I'm so excited !!"  

 

She's the mother of two beautiful girls and an adrenaline junkie, she loves skydiving, gardening and of course her pole. "It's my life!"

Samantha Mellor - May Winner

The May Winner for our 

#mayinvert challenge

Nicole Ambrus

 

I would like to welcome Nicole Ambrus to the corner.

 

At 20 years of age, she wanted to keep herself busy and decided to try out a pole class, she never expected to love it as much as she did.

 

Nicole attends pole classes at Pole and Shape in Oldham, Manchester in the UK and has been actively involved for the past year and a half.

 

Having been on a gymnastics team for two years and also a year of dancing to her name seems to have its advantages even though it was 5 years ago.

She has not yet participated in a showcase or event but plans on doing so soon.

 

Her Pole role model is Amy Hazel, she saw her pictures posted on Instagram and is captivated by her amazing strength and flexibility.

 

One of Nicole’s favourite moves is the overhead Gemini and the move that she most likes to perform is the Iron X.

 

Pole goals for 2014 include perfecting her deadlift, she has only just managed to lift it, but will happily accept neat Janerio too.

Something interesting about Nicole: '' I’m participating in Tough Mudder this August to help raise money for charity.''
