Pole on the Call: Meet Pole Dancer & Coach Chrissy, Owner of Flying Squirrel Studio

In this episode, Cris Rivers & Mændy Mac meet Meet Pole Dancer & Coach Chrissy, Owner of Flying Squirrel Studio in Everett, MA!

Bio:
Chrissy (she/her) has been poling for over 7 years and teaching for about 6. She dabbles in other forms of aerial arts but pole will always be her #1 love. I love anything with a split, spready, twist or bend - especially on spin pole. Aside from being a teacher and studio owner, Chrissy is also a pole competitor and gig performer. Students can take private or small group lessons with her by request at the studio or online - or they can keep an eye out for the occasional moments when Chrissy teaches at Boston Pole Fitness, North Shore Pole Fitness, and hosts workshops at Flying Squirrel Studio.

Flying Squirrel Studio was built to fill a need in the Boston Pole and Dance community for flexibility. Whether you are a student or performer that needs their own practice time to fit their schedule, or an instructor that wants to take control of their time and income, Flying Squirrel Studio was built for you.

Pole on the Call: Meet Savvie & Vickie of RevolVT!

In this episode, Cris Rivers & Mændy Mac meet Meet Savvie & Vickie of RevolVT in Vermont.

Bios:

Vickie - Vickie began her pole journey after seeing a pole dancer perform in an opera (yes, opera) and since 2016 has made pole a passionate part of her identity. She studied and taught pole with Bohemienne Fitness in Burlington, Vermont, has studied with over 20 different pole studios across the world, and placed 1st in the 2019 Level 3 Dramatic Pole Sports Organization (PSO) competition. Her love of pole comes from the amazing journey of watching her body evolve, her self-confidence blossom, and sharing the joy and struggle of pole with other diverse and beautiful humans!

Vickie’s teaching style is one of positive vibes, honesty, and healthy, balanced athleticism. She teaches from a place of humble skill and works to help students find their own unique connection to each trick and movement.


Savvie - Savvie comes to RevolVT as a former student of Bohemienne Fitness and member of Green Mountain Cabaret. They perform under the stage name Ruthless Retribution, and have studied and performed burlesque, stripping, and cabaret under multiple tutors since 2012. They came to pole dance in 2016 with a love and reverence for the stripping community and all things seductive. Savvie’s teaching style incorporates sultry elements of performance and collective choreography to release the sensuality within.

Pole on the Call Podcast: Strength & Conditioning Coach Fran of Body By Fran Training

In this episode, Mændy Mac & Cris Rivers catch up with Fran of Body by Fran, who is a Strength & Conditioning Coach. We met with her a year ago and were so happy to catch up again to learn more about her flexibility training using weights, as well as her PoleStrong Method and Certification.

BIO:
Hi, I'm Fran! I started my pole journey after working in the health & fitness industry for over 25 years and I am passionate about helping you reach your health and fitness goals.

When I first started pole dancing, I had a hard time balancing my pole training with training off the pole and there was no one out there who understood my dilemma!

So I put my sports conditioning experience to work and developed the PoleStrong Method of Training, which I use personally and in every Body by Fran program.

I'm 55 years old and my body feels better than ever. My method is your key to doing pole for life.

As a professional pole athlete, I have traveled the world performing and competing and I’m super proud to say that I am the 2017 World Pole Art Championships Silver Medalist, as well as the 2017 PSO Seaboard Championships Bronze Medalist.

It's my goal to help you build the body of your dreams. A body that feels strong, looks healthy, and resists injury from this demanding activity that we love!

Pole on the Call: Meet Pole Coach Tobin, Owner of LOVE Pole Fitness!

In this episode, Cris Rivers & Mændy Mac meet Pole Coach Tobin, Owner of LOVE Pole Fitness in Millis, MA.

Tobin's Bio:
Tobin found pole "fitness" 13 years ago after having her first son. She wanted to regain her sense of self and femininity. Little did she know it was going to change her life forever.

Instantly she was hooked and began to eat, sleep, and breathe pole fitness. After lots of training, certifications, and deep thinking, she decided to leave her well paying job to follow her passion. Tobin opened LOVE Pole Fitness and Aerial Arts in 2012, and it has grown and grown ever since. Tobin has grown as well, making the transition from pole "fitness" to pole "dance" in her personal style as an instructor. Tobin also teaches and loves aerial silks and lyra.

For Tobin, sharing the self expression and skill that comes with pole and aerial fitness, has been the most rewarding part of her life, second to having 3 amazing sons. Tobin hopes to continue sharing the LOVE for as long as possible.
