WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Melanie Bio Photo.jpg

Vertical Fusion was founded in 2012 by Melanie Piek after taking a pole dance class and falling head over heels in love with it. Melanie initially sought out pole dancing as an alternative fitness program and quickly discovered that it was way more than that. After experiencing personal transformation in all aspects, she was compelled to share it with others.

There are so many things to love about pole--it's artistic, it's empowering, it's expressive, it's fun! The community that we've created is truly the most accepting and supportive I've ever known. One of the things I love most about my work and Vertical Fusion is hearing these words from my clients...

 

'Thank you...this has changed my life.'
