Hi! My name is Helen and I am a Pole Fitness instructor. I developed my passion for pole in Jacksonville, FL after I put on some weight when I injured my ankle. After four months, I dropped from a size 8 to a size 2 and became hooked on Pole Fitness. I started taking pole in 2009 and have taken classes and workshops from a variety of studios and professionals. I am all about the fitness side of pole and consider myself a true pole addict. I am looking forward to sharing my passion with you and showing you how fun working out can be!

Hello! My name is Danelle and I’m one of the many instructors here at Bella Forza Fitness. I have an extensive background in many different forms of dance including jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, hula, Tahitian, belly dance, burlesque and pole dance. I have also competed in country, ballroom and swing dancing for many years winning several titles. In 2006, I attended my first Zumba® Fitness class and was hooked. I became a licensed instructor and have been teaching in gyms and studios around the greater Cincinnati area ever since. I have since obtained my licenses and certifications in various other Zumba® Fitness programs, Hip Hop Hustle, AFAA and Pole Fitness. I recently auditioned and was approved to be a licensed Zumba® Jammer (ZJ), allowing me the privilege of touring the country and teaching other Zumba® Fitness instructors amazing choreography that will assist them in becoming better instructors, teaching fun and safe workouts and building bigger classes. This is a huge honor as there are only 185 Zumba Jammers (ZJs) around the world out of hundreds of thousands of instructors.

Hello there! My name is Danielle, and I have been pole dancing since September 2009. I was starting to gain weight after college and was feeling rather down about it, when I saw an advertisement online for pole fitness. I took that first class and was hooked from my first spin! Since then I have taken classes, workshops, and online lessons to advance my pole journey. I love the amount of strength, agility, coordination, confidence, and fun that results from pole dance and fitness!

Hi, my name is Kristen and I am one of the pole fitness instructors here at Bella Forza. I started my love for pole in 2009 when my husband and I moved to Jacksonville, FL. I was not the type to work out at all but I loved how pole fitness was challenging and fun without feeling like I was working out! I also love how it makes women feel confident and determined. Come join us for a class and you will love our fun positive atmosphere!

Hello my name is Terri and I am a hula-hooping, guitar-playing, yogi, school teacher, mother, and the President of Hoop Roots, Inc. I was inspired to hoop three years ago at Floydfest and have been making hoops and enjoying hoop dance since. Drawing on what I have learned from my teachers, Caroleeeena, Wendy Andersen and Leslie Kreines, I’ve taught hooping classes to children and adults throughout the city. I also lead a free hoop jams at neighborhood parks during the warm months and teach workshops at festivals. My hoop classes focus on proper posture, breathing, dancing, feeling beautiful, and having fun. In addition to the health benefits of this cardiovascular exercise, hula hooping improves self confidence, generates joy and laughter, and clears and quiets the mind. Hoop Yourself Happy is an introduction to basic hooping and hoop dance and can be differentiated for hoopers of multiple skill levels.

Hello Ladies! My name is Julie Stem and I have been teaching at Bella Forza since April of 2011. I discovered my passion for physical fitness when I was laid off from my full time job in 2009. I decided to go back to school and get my Associates Degree in Heath and Fitness Technology as well as obtaining certifications in Personal Training, Group Fitness, and TRX. I teach two types of TRX classes which include a total body workout or cardio class for you to choose from. I also like to teach Circuit based classes to keep your heart rate up while increasing muscle tone and strength as well as classes that target the gluteal muscles and abdominals, or better known as Butts and Gutts. I never teach the same class twice so you will never get bored with your workout. Why not try them all?!

Hi Everyone, my name is Tracy and I've been a licensed Zumba instructor since July of 2012, however, I've been a Zumba fan for over 2 years, taking classes under the wonderful tutelage of Danelle and Jennifer. I'd like to say, as for now, I'm not the typical looking fitness instructor as I am a work in progress. I've always know what was needed to get in shape but never wanted to put in the work needed to get it done. I have now been committed to my health for over 2 years and down almost 40 pounds! When I'm not teaching, you will see me in a number of fitness classes, working extremely hard to reach my goal. What is that goal: I'll know it when I see it. I may even slow down a bit; NOT!! I'm having too much fun!!
