👉🏼Comment “INFO” if you’ve found yourself in a body that doesn’t feel like yours anymore and you’re not ok with “it’s just how it is.” We can get stronger, healthier, and fitter as we age!
I get it. And it’s OK if you want to lose 5lbs or 50lbs but also struggle with body positivity.
What matters most is YOUR health and happiness. So do YOU. If I can help, great!

Welcome to part 2 of “I Am Pole: Legends & Legacy” with Michelle Stanek! 💙🔥
After 2-3 years of taking casual pole classes after work, a major life change led Michelle to start teaching pole at Crunch. The more time she spent in the studio dancing, the more serious she got about pole.
Then in 2010, Michelle entered and WON her first competition! 🙂↕️🙌🏽
After that first win, Michelle began a streak. She won competition after competition and then finally, the routine that truly changed her life and made pole a career came along: USPDF 2012 🌟

It’s ok to seek support.
If you feel like you are S T R U G G L I N G with your health
If you ARE doing the workouts
If you ARE eating good foods
… but nothing is changing …
It’s time to find new supportive tools that work with you to optimize your health.
NOT go harder, workout more, eat less, count calories, stress over gym time and what to eat or not to eat.
I was there. Going harder. Following stricter nutrition plans. And driving myself into the ground with fatigue and frustration.
Until I added one little thing.💫
~It changed everything.
~It was the missing link.
~It was a new tool to work with me as I continued to seek health, wellness, and performance optimization.
It did NOT replace effort – it ENHANCED it.

The wait is over! Welcome to “I Am Pole: Legends & Legacy” with the one and only Michelle Stanek 🔥🙌🏽
Michelle took her first pole class in 2006 at a Crunch Fitness. The class took place in the group fitness studio, had 4 people to a pole, and Dry Hands wasn’t even a thought, so it’s not a surprise that it was a crazy, loud, and sweaty. Most importantly though, it was fun! 🤩
Make sure to follow us @polepressure so you catch all of our episodes with @michellestanek ! 💙
Let us know in the comments - where was your first pole class? Did you ever take a class at a Crunch Fitness? 👀👇🏽

I think it’s important to have a grounding moment for yourself before class starts. I need it! 🥴
Sometimes I inhale my essential oil roller or spray my High Vibes Mist and breeeaaaatthheee. So I can release any BS I am carrying and get into this moment with these people. Be in the NOW! Not last week, not on auto-pilot, not anywhere else.
It can take 10 seconds. ⏰
But sometimes the studio is CRAY and I don’t get that time. 🫨
So … bake it into the warm-up! Ask you students to sit/stand and close their eyes. Ground their feet. Do a breathing exercise like box breathing - simple, easy to follow, and effective. Spray a mist! 🧘🏼
And DO IT WITHT THEM!
Everyone wins! 😀

I’ve had this conversation twice in 2 days! And I do not have the answers!
It only helps to elevate standards across the industry if we know how we are all doing out there. Like if you accept a gig for $250 but the rate is more like $1,500 - we need to know so we don’t undermine our pole sisters, brothers, dancers out there. My a$$ is typically in bed by 9pm so … 🤷🏼♀️
If you want to share any insight please share anything below! 👇🏼 Like what’s the going rate for —
🌟A wedding gig
🌟Ambient party performers
🌟Events
🌟Performing with top-selling artists
🌟Music videos
🌟Other?
Obviously this $ changes with location, specifics, client, etc and we DO do things for free sometimes too and that’s ok.
Let us know your thoughts!
She’s a pole legend and champion, has been featured in multiple TV shows and music videos, and is an all-around incredible person 🌟
We’re so excited to announce the next chapter of “I Am Pole: Legends & Legacy,” with the one and only Michelle Stanek! 🔥🙌🏽
If you pole, and ESPECIALLY if you started pole around 2012, you definitely saw Michelle Stanek’s 2012 USPDF performance 👀
Make sure to come back next week to hear more about the early days of Michelle’s pole career!
