Smart Strength Training for pole dancers who want power, mobility, and longevity on the pole and in life.

After many frustrating years of getting injured in pole classes, I knew there had to be a better way to train.

I used my background in sports strength & conditioning and expertise in weight training to develop my proven PoleStrong Method of Training to help myself, and YOU advance on the pole safely and with less chance of injury.

  • “I really didn’t do much pole practice before. Fran helped me understand what parts of my body need to be moving. {She is} very good at breaking moves down to their strength components. I absolutely love training with Fran. She is like the Pole Whisperer!”

    —Kathy W (Queensland Australia)

  • “Fran’s workshops have helped me tremendously with my strength, mobility and form. I’ve been able to progress in my own [pole] practice so much with her and I am so grateful! She’s an incredible teacher and a wonderful human being. I love Fran!”

    —Kristin B. (New Jersey)

  • “My pole practice was very unstructured before we started working together. I was trying multiple things in one session…not focusing on specific tricks. My Gemini and Scorpio were not clean and after {Fran} explained a bit more of the technical details I was able to invert and perform those tricks much easier. I am now practicing setting specific trick goals…and have integrated the conditioning {Fran} showed me in our sessions.”

    —Elissa K (Germany)
