PoleFlexFitness Instructors

Head Instructor and Studio Owner 

Francesca started her aerial journey over 10 years ago with pole and has gradually began to experiment with  hoop, silks, acro, flexibility and so much more since! Francesca had always loved sport and exercise in general but hadn't found her ultimate passion until she went to a race for life event and was handed a leaflet for pole classes and so a new passion was found.

Francesca gained her first qualification back in 2017 whilst pregnant with her second child and is addicted to adding more to her collection as she always has another qualification on the go. Francesca loves training and bettering herself having even been over to Thailand and cyprus as well as up and down the UK in order to learn from a wide range of people so she can provide the best possible services to her students.

Francesca has also studied anatomy and physiology, sports nutrition and multiple yoga styles receiving her 200h YTT in 2021 and her hot yoga qualification in 2024. 

If she's not teaching or spinning around a pole or hoop then she's probably travelling with her family which is her second passion - although she can't decide which one she loves more! Rest assured though even if she is half way across the world she'll be finding a tree at the very least to practice on! 

Pole Beginners Instructor 

Laura was (& still is) a busy mum of 2 looking for a fun new hobby when she joined PoleFlexFitness. Francesca instantly saw something in the way Laura was really focusing on her movement and the way she was always determined to achieve the goal even if it meant buying a pole to practice more at home! After a few months Francesca approached Laura about training to become an instructor which she accepted and has been flourishing in with astounding marks and feedback from the tutors! When Laura isn't practicing or teaching pole she is keeping active with her 2 children and dog as they explore the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Laura is also a keen foodie (as ironically all of the Poleflexfitness team are 😂) so if you're looking for recommendations on where to dine come to class and find out! 

Flexibility and Acro Instructor 

Sam has been a member of the Poleflexfitness group since May 2023 when she started taking pole, flexibility and balance and acro classes taught by Francesca. Sam quickly became hooked and took a particular interest in flexibility training and Francesca picked up on this realising she'd make a fab instructor! Sam loves working towards her own flexibility goals (right now concentrating on her middle splits!) and wants to help other people celebrate and experience the sense of achievement that comes with making progress towards their own goals - something that happens during every session! When Sam's not working on her backbends and splits, she loves spending time outdoors, going on adventures in the countryside and exploring new places with her husband and dogs and is also a member of the local boxing club. 

Dance Instructor

Sadie has grown up with a passion for dance and music; from forcing the family to sit down and watch a made up performances to performing in a debut musical in the Edinburgh Playhouse. She has trained in multiple styles of dance through a HNC in Professional Dance performance, although contemporary and hiphop are her favourites. When not found Dancing, Sadie enjoys running and exploring Caithness (especially the coffee spots!). She enjoys a cold water dip too! 

Sadie is very keen to expand her teaching area into aerial fitness, after gaining some experience in the last year and after meeting Francesca is excited to make this happen.
