Hello

My story began in 2007 when I became a certified personal trainer in Atlanta, GA.  The story progressed when I was introduced to the world of competitive pole fitness in 2009.  I immediately amped up my training and prepared for my first pole competition. My love affair with pole led to the aerial arts and the story continues to unfold each day.  My official bio is below. 

​

Vakiesha Wimberly is a Fitness Professional and Pole Athlete with over a decade of experience as a Trainer/ Group Exercise Instructor (2007), Pole Competitor (2010), and Performer (2011). Vakiesha is best known as “Skittles Pole Dancer '' in the pole world and is considered to be one of the “Pole Fitness OG’s”.  She made her mark placing in some of the first Pole Fitness Competitions held in the United States. She is a United States Pole Dance Federation (USPDF) Professional Pole Athlete, XPert International Instructor Trainer, and holds several fitness & pole certifications. 

When she is not flying through the air and helping people reach new aerial heights, she is helping people create their best life by breaking old patterns and limiting beliefs in her “day work” as a Certified Life Coach and  Addictions Specialist.

Her favorite apparatuses are currently Fly Pole, FabPole (fabric pole), and Lollipop which combine the worlds of Aerial & Pole.  She is based in Colorado, where she teaches Pole & Aerial Classes.  She travels as a guest instructor teaching specialty workshop formats that include; Flying Pole, Fabric Pole, Lollipop (Lyra Pole), and Classic Pole Technique.
