Pole & Aerial Fitness Instructor Training Courses UK

Empowering Confidence, Fitness & Fun Since 2003

 

Founded in 2003, Pole Passion® has shaped the evolution of pole and aerial fitness in the UK and worldwide. From pioneering instructor standards to creating world-leading competitions, we’ve spent two decades building community in more than 30 countries worldwide. From launching Miss Pole Dance UK and the World Pole Dance Fitness Championships to developing the world’s first impartial judging system, we’ve helped shape the global pole and aerial community.

Our Training Programmes Come With Proven Heritage

 

Rooted in over 22 years of real studio teaching, our qualifications have been shaped through thousands of live classes from the UK to China, national and international events, and professional instructor development.

 

Recognised for innovation, Pole Passion was awarded a Department of Trade & Industry grant in 2006 to support the development of pole as a new form of fitness — a milestone that helped establish safe, structured teaching standards across the UK.

 

When you train with us, you’re joining an organisation that has shaped the industry from the very beginning.

What Our Graduates Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This course exposed exactly what I needed to improve.

I learnt how to break techniques down properly and realised many grips

I thought were ‘easy’ are actually challenging for beginners.

I feel ready to be a much better instructor now.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My confidence in teaching has improved massively. I now know the correct grip names

and terminology instead of saying ‘just do this’  it makes my teaching feel more professional.

The course taught us how important lesson planning is. Keeping a teaching notebook,

evaluating each class, and adjusting what didn’t flow well has been a game-changer for becoming a great instructor.
