Warrnambool

Jem is the studio owner of PhysiPole Warrnambool and PhysiPole  Somerton Park. Jem’s pole journey started in late 2010 after seeing her best friend gain so much strength from just one term. She had no dance or gymnastics background and felt very out of her depth in the beginning, but before she knew it, she was addicted. Jem then began aerial hoop and silks in 2013/2014 and absolutely loves being in the air. Jem began competing in 2014. She has competed in several state and national, pole and aerial competitions over the years and now loves putting her knowledge and energy into coaching her students to big stages.  PhysiPole Studios Warrnambool was born in 2014. Transitioning a 21-year-old into a business owner was an interesting process to say the least, but one of the best decisions Jem has ever made. Jem was also living a double life as a pole dancing nurse, which she absolutely loved.  With Jem having plans of growing within the franchise and moving to the SA coast, PhysiPole Somerton Park was born in early 2019. The Somerton Park studio opened on Australia day 2019 with an overwhelming response.  The ‘Somers’ studio hit 100 students in its first term of opening and has developed an incredible and supportive PhysiFam in such a short amount of time.  With ‘Warni’ continuing to grow and Somers becoming a toddler, I have never been prouder and more excited to be part of the PhysiFam. Teaching and coaching is what absolutely makes my heart soar and I am so incredibly happy to say that I am living my dream job.  When I was a baby poler, I was never the best or the first one to get the trick in my class, but after committing to multiple practice sessions a week I noticed my abilities skyrocket. I became stronger, more flexible, toned and focused more on what my body could do, rather than what it looked like. Fast forward a couple of years, and I am now dancing on the same stages as some of my favourites in the industry. I could not imagine my life now without continually challenging myself and having a ball at the same time. I am 100% committed and dedicated to this brand and am looking forward to seeing where the next 10 years will take us!
