	Pole Position Fitness was founded in 2002, under the name Fun Fit Vacations and Studio. Pole Position was founded by Sharon Polsky, a former athlete and dancer. Pole Position offers traditional and alternative fitness classes. Traditional fitness classes include Yoga, Cycling, Pilates, Step Classes, and Core Conditioning. Sharon wanted to bring these class in a fun, safe, effective and affordable environment for her community. Sharon brought alternative fitness to Pole Position in 2004, after struggling to find somewhere close, convenient, affordable and professional to learn these classes. Alternative fitness includes Pole Dancing, GoGo Dancing, Lap Dancing, and Burlesque Dance (like the pussycat dolls). These classes are a huge asset to the studio, offering clients a new and challenging mode of exercise, unlike any other classes offered.
