Why OC Pole Fitness?

• Master level trained pole experts and athletes
• Master level business expertise - our founder has a formal MBA from a top tier business school and the experience of building a globally recognized brand and two successful studios.  Our methods are proven, and our business builder certification module will cover marketing, pricing, insurance, studio build out, customer management, systems, press release templates for your local media, vendors, music, and more. 
  
• Curriculum development and classroom management techniques included
  
• Aligned with Pole Fitness Association standards - Pole Fitness Association accredited -
• Become part of the tremendous network and reputation of being affiliated with OC Pole Fitness, including the Pole Fitness Association, our drive to Get Pole Dance Fitness Accepted in the Olympics which has garnered over 110,000 signatures, media exposure, and more.
  
• Firm emphasis on safety – this is serious business. Pole dance fitness is an aerial art – and when taught improperly, it can injure you - and your future students.  This art cannot be learned simply from a dvd review and 2 days of training.  It requires a commitment to do it properly, and that is what differentiates our program from so many other one or two day certification courses. Your certification is only as good as the training you actually receive, and our Instructor Certification Program is hands-on, safety-focused, Pole Fitness Association accredited, and quite simply, one of the world’s best teaching programs.
  
• Availability of multiple certification and training programs:  Pole Dance Fitness Instructor Certification (multiple levels), Lap Dance, Business Builder, Home Pole Party Business, Hoop, Tissu, and more.
  
• The OC Pole Fitness Instructor Certification Program is built on solid, recognized fitness principles. Our program is currently under review for 5 AFAA CEU's, expected by Fall 2009, plus petitionable Credits for Other Fitness Certification Organizations.
• Licensing Programs available:  Want the brand strength and experience of OC Pole Fitness supporting you every step of the way? Apply all of our systems, branding, training programs and more by applying to be an OC Pole Fitness Licensed business so you can focus on your core business. Virtually unlimited training, consulting, and partnership. Business opportunities in the U.S. and abroad.  With minimal investment, our licensees are able to earn impressive returns, and can operate their businesses full-time or part-time, from either their own homes, their clients’ homes, or their very own studio space.
