Hey all! I’m Narelle. I began pole dancing at the start of 2013 after organizing a birthday function for a friend at the Bendigo studio. It was so much fun and had me sweating and I realized that this is what I needed to get fit! Once I started pole, the only thing I regretted was not joining earlier! From around level 5 onwards, I was doing almost every class at the studio and you could not keep me away!

After being a student, an instructor and competitor I decided the next step was to make my passion my career! I opened PhysiPole Carlton in late 2015 and it has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

Opening a studio takes a lot of hard work and the first few months were definitely a challenge! Always stressing about whether enough students will join and whether the bills will be paid... Luckily I had and continue to have the support of my amazing PhysiFam! I definitely wouldn’t have been able to get where I am without the support of such a wonderful franchise.

In the beginning, all I wanted was to be able to pass on my love of pole to all of my new students who were about to unexpectedly change their lives! What I never saw coming was the amazing community I was to create. A family of people who support and encourage each other to become the best versions of themselves. A family who never judge, who laugh together and who pick each other up when they are down. It is this growing community that makes me so grateful every day to have the best job in the world! Every day I get to help people to realise that they are capable of great things and that they are incredible just for showing up and being themselves! How awesome is that?!!

I would love to see us expand so much that we are able to relocate to a larger (and taller) studio within 5 years and to be able to share aerial classes with my students.
