About Studio Chrome

'I remember sitting in my haul truck in 2018 day dreaming about having a pole studio."

Studio Chrome is a home based pole fitness studio located in beautiful Cranbrook ,B.C.

Hi my names Vanessa, i am the owner operator and creator of Studio Chrome.

Born and raised in Cranbrook, B.C, I share a huge passion for fitness and the outdoors like most residents in the koots!

I started pole when i was living in Kelowna working at a welding shop in 2014. I took the class (at OPD!) to try and make some friends as i just graduated and moved to the city and i always loved to dance, so i thought this sounds like fun! Almost instantly i fell in love with the sport and it has been a passion of mine ever since. shortly after i moved back home to Cranbrook.

Studio Chrome started in 2020 during the pandemic in my basement.

I bought my first pole and that's when the real journey began.

As soon as me and my partner moved into a bigger home the first thing i did was get a dance pole, after that the rest is history.

I got extremely addicted to the sport, i would train 2x/ day, sometimes 3. And it wasn't difficult because i loved every moment of it. I started to search for places to train closer to Cranbrook, but there was nothing. Eventually i got the confidence to share my pole progress online and sharing my idea and passions with others. Shortly after this, I met the first member of the squad.

I made a friend and i told her how i had a dream. I said i wanted to open a pole fitness studio, where we can go and train and hangout and have a fun welcoming atmosphere for people to practice and and stay fit. I wanted to bring pole fitness to Cranbrook.

This beautiful human agreed to help me do this. She is the reason i was able to finish my pole teachers certification. She came over to my house 2x/ week for 6 months to help me finish this and let me tell ya, it wasn't easy. 

This was the beginning. After i got certified i started teaching one on ones in my basement. I still to this day am teaching my very first studio chrome student i had and she has become one of my dearest and most talented students.

After sometime, i expanded into groups of 3 and got into a bigger space. That is  when i got to experience group class atmosphere, and the joy it brought everyone.

After sometime i decided that i might be able to do this buisness full time. So I quit my job and started to focus on pole.

Since then i have been travelling to many studios and training with a variety of instructors and pole dancers in order to become the best pole instructor that i can be.

I have trained in Thailand, Kelowna, Winnipeg and Grand Prairie at multiple studios. i love to explore other pole studios whenever i am in a new city and learn new things for my students

I am certified thru the Canadian Pole Fitness Association and a personal trainer.

I have been teaching for over 3 years now and since then i have grown just as much. I have now created my own pole program, it is a pole program for beginners. it will take you right from the very very beginning steps. Starting from learning to walk, how to move your body around the pole and the pole physics it takes to look smooth and sexy.

The Studio Chrome beginner program is self paced so you can rewind , and start over as many times as you need. I have designed my classes in way that they are beginner friendly for all fitness levels. so if your moving at different paces it wont hold anyone else back. 

once you have completed the program you may move forward on to my pre-inter class. By this class you will be able to start getting in to pole combinations and spin combos.

I hope this page finds you well and you have a bit better of an understanding of how this baby was made <3

anyone under the age of 19 must get a parent/guardian signature prior to attending class.
