January 2024 Student of the Month: Ryan

When did you start your pole journey?

April 2023

Why did you decide to try pole classes?

I started watching videos on instagram and it looked super fun, it took me a few months before I finally decided to take a class and I’ve been hooked ever since.

What do you love most about pole classes at Pole Pressure?

I appreciate the different styles of each instructor. Some are focused on choreography, some on conditioning, and some on doing cool combos.

If you could train with any of your pole idols, who would it be and why?

Either Elizabeth Blanchard because I watch her tutorials on YouTube all the time, or Chris Saez because watching his instagram made me want to start doing pole.

What motivates you to train?

Watching better polers than me, either on instagram or at the studio, inspires me to be better and move with more flow and grace.

What are some of your goals for this year?

I would like to compete for the first time and have smoother transitions.

Why do you love Pole Pressure?

I love the positive atmosphere, everyone clapping when someone gets a trick. And also the instructors pushing me to improve in the details, and reminding me to point my toes.
