Welcome to Beautiful Bodies
Beautiful Bodies Fitness has a welcoming atmosphere for every student that comes through our doors. All of our instructors are dedicated to assisting you and your fitness and health goals. Every pole instructor is certified through the Pole Fitness Alliance (PFA). We strive to make fitness enjoyable and challenging. Pole dance fitness allows us to express ourselves in such a liberating manner as we build our confidence, strength, endurance, and coordination. All offered classes (pole and non-pole) are designed to empower you and your individuality. We want you to feel accomplished at the end of each class, where you are dying to come back for more.
With every class, we are deepening our physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and intellectual selves, which positively shines through in all aspects of our lives. We gain a sense of achievement each time we complete our goals, both big and small. We have created a great community, where everyone is supported, loved, and encouraged by our Beautiful Bodies family.




Our Beautiful Instructors

Owner; 1/2/3 PFA Pole Certified; ACE CPT; AFPA HNC; Pelvis Pro Certified; USPSF Certified Judge
Bree Fernelius
Bree, the owner, began her pole journey in June of 2017. She came from a competitive gymnastics and dance background and was searching for a sport that would allow her to express herself the way she has always felt the most comfortable. She quickly realized that pole dance fitness filled that void and has impacted all areas of her life in such a positive light. She gained confidence, self-love, patience, increased happiness, a greater sense of health, and so much more. Pole fitness is truly one of her greatest passions. Bree wanted to provide a safe space for all those seeking an atmosphere where they can create, grow, feel comfortable in their own skin, and genuinely be themselves; so she created Beautiful Bodies. Bree is a level 1, 2 & 3 certified pole instructor through the Pole Fitness Alliance (PFA); with whom she is also a Master Trainer for Arizona. Bree is also a Certified Holistic Nutritionist through the AFPA, as well as an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Bree is happily married, has two young boys, and loves to inspire others to find for themselves the joys in their lives.

Years later, she saw a Facebook advertisement about Beautiful Bodies and immediately signed up for her first class. Alisa has been on the pole since June 2020. She does not have a dance or gymnastics background but is adamant about fitness. Alisa's favorite aspect about pole fitness is that it is challenging: mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Eudelia "Sunshine" Duran
Eudelia 'Sunshine' began her pole journey at the age of 45. She has dabbled in a little bit of everything; ranging from tennis, cheer, softball, and volleyball. She moved a little out of her comfort zone when she signed up for her first pole class, but was glad she did. Pole has become one of her favorite activities. The strength and empowerment it has given her (both emotionally and physically) has allowed her to gain confidence and rid herself of limits. She desired to become a certified instructor, in hopes of helping others experience these same feelings. Sunshine is a level 1 certified PFA instructor. Sunshine has spent most her life raising her 5 children. She also has 3 grandchildren. She enjoys spending time with her family, playing softball league, and loves her position as a Legal Support Supervisor. The last line of one of favorite poems has been her inspiration to keep pressing forward in all that she does and she hopes her teaching will pass on this same empowerment to others, “Believe in yourself and in your plan, say not, I cannot, but I CAN! The prizes of life we fail to win because we doubt the power within”.

Level 1/2 PFA Pole Certified

Level 1 PFA Pole Certified
Kari Ruiz
Kari began her pole fitness journey only a short time ago, but it has been a long time in the making. She spent the ages of 3 to 12 competitively dancing before taking a fourteen year hiatus from body movement. During that time she got her degree in teaching and adopted two loving dogs who she babies more than children. In 2018, she began taking aerial art classes, bouncing between hammock, lyra, silks, and trapeze with whatever suited her mood at the time. An invitation from a friend to her first pole class started her interest in pole fitness where she has used her aerial skills and strength to quickly master this new apparatus. Kari loves pole fitness due to the fact that each class presents a new challenge and provides a feeling of accomplishment every time she goes. Kari is a level 1 PFA certified instructor.
