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.

What Our Students Are Saying About Us

GRACE HAGL - 2023

"I’ve been taking classes for a couple months now and I have nothing but positivity to share. The instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming as well as all of the other students. I got to see their spring showcase and after all the wonderful routines, I knew I was in talented, professional hands. It was really inspiring to see the potential that pole establishes. This studio serves as a place where I can let go of all other stresses and I get to focus on my physical and mental health. I never dread coming to a class as I used to with other fitness-related activities but rather I am always anticipating one. I highly recommend booking a class no matter what experience you have!!!!"
