Creating Momentum Pole Sport

 I haven't really had time to update this blog recently, as I've been pouring all of my time and effort into the creation of my pole sport school. On top of that have been holidays, family time, as well as teaching regular classes (3 evenings per week and the occasional private lesson). Perhaps this blog, created out of a need during lockdown, will become more occasional from now on. I will try to add more videos to the stocks, all the same :-).

Finally finding a studio for my classes was a huge step, but only the start. Next, I began writing the status for the creation of my association (ASBL) and I created a website. A graphic designer friend kindly created an amazing logo for the studio and it all started falling into place. 

Since the creation of the ASBL, I have been able to take out insurance and open a bank account. Of course, there were also the poles to buy! Now I'm just waiting for the last elements; bank card details, delivery of the last pole and confirmation of the insurance policy. Yesterday, I wrote and published a Covid-19 policy on the website and worked on other relevant documents. I've started to re-read a book on accountancy that helped me keep the accounts back when my husband and I had our companies in France. I'm a bit rusty, but ready and eager to pick that side of business management up again!

Sign up has started for my classes and 4 of the 6 weekly classes are half full already. In order to encourage beginners to sign up, I have organised an initiation on 30th August, which I hope I will be able to fill, bringing me in the students for the remaining classes. I have designed and ordered flyers, which I will begin to distribute from this weekend.

It's an exciting time, though busy. And it will get even busier, as I will retain classes in at least one other studio while I start out. I have huge plans for this studio, so I'm more than willing to put in the work!

I'm so proud of the website I created!! Take a look: www.momentumpolesport.be

Second Lockdown November - December 2020

Sports classes have been closed since 26th October in Belgium and the past month has been tough. I haven't felt like blogging and to be fair I probably haven't had time to focus on expressing my feelings regarding the current situation. I'm someone who always looks for the positive; my theory is that events are always leading me to where I should be and I try to look for opportunities along the journey to benefit from my experiences. The last lockdown was long and full of disappointments, for example cancellation of competitions, which were to be my focal point of 2020, however if it were not for these roadblocks I would not have launched Momentum Pole Sport this year. This time, it is the cancellation of my classes at Momentum at the source of my concern. I initially hoped to reschedule the classes and in the meantime I launched online videos and challenges to keep my students interested and motivated. I feel like a community was created during the two months that I was ab...

End of Confinement De-Brief (in brief :-))

Since I started this blog during confinement, with the time that was freed up initally when I was ill, it seemed essential to me to write a proper post at this moment of deconfinement in Belgium. On Monday 8th June, I taught my first studio classes since early March! I'm pleased to say that it really was amazing to be back, taking in the exciting atmosphere of long-awaited reunions, not to mention having a full 3 metres of pole to train on, without nearby walls or a tiny stage to restrict me :-). The new hygiene rules will take some adjusting to, but it looks a lot more onerous on paper than it feels in reality. Really, these are common sense and I hope that many of these habits will be adopted long-term in pole classes. Back on a studio pole, at Brussels Art & Pole <3 My daughter also went back to school the same day and my husband is starting to venture into the office a few days a week, so there is quite a shift taking place. The following day, I was able to go b...
