Year of the Fix: | 2013 |
Location: | Crawley |
Campaign: | Promoting Pole Fitness |
I want to show pole fitness as a sport and move away from the negative connotations around it.
With the help of Fixers I would like to create a film focusing on the core conditioning exercises within pole fitness.
Not many people know it requires being strong and that it should, in theory, appeal to both men and women.
I would like to encourage more people to give it a try, and hopefully change the negative perceptions about this sport.
Pole fitness is different and challenging as well as a lot of fun.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with my Fix:
Alfie Spurgeon
