At Isla Amore, we celebrate every kind of movement — the kind that makes you sweat, makes you feel, and makes you come alive in your body. Pole is all of that and more. Once misunderstood, Pole Sport is now stepping into the spotlight as a powerful, athletic discipline that blends strength, control, artistry, and self-expression.
And we are here for it.

What Exactly Is Pole Sport?
Pole Sport is a competitive, performance-based discipline that combines acrobatics, dance, strength training, and creative expression — all centered around a vertical pole. Athletes train for years to develop the upper body strength, core stability, flexibility, and precision required to perform routines that can be as beautiful as they are brutal.
This isn’t about performance for others. It’s about ownership of your body, mastery of movement, and confidence that radiates from the inside out.
A Legitimate Sport, Redefined
Pole is no longer just a fitness trend or misunderstood art — it’s a recognized international sport. Global competitions, like those hosted by the International Pole Sports Federation (IPSF), draw elite athletes from all over the world. These athletes perform judged routines under strict criteria, scoring points for difficulty, execution, and artistry.
There are divisions for:
Women’s and men’s elite
Youth and masters (40+)
Doubles and artistic categories
Pole is for every age, every body, every background.
What It Takes
If you’ve ever tried pole, you already know — it’s hard. Like, seriously hard. But it’s also incredibly rewarding.
Pole athletes train for:
Grip strength & upper body power
Core stability and control
Mobility & flexibility
Choreography, rhythm & flow
Mental focus and fearlessness
It’s a sport that demands you show up — fully, boldly, unapologetically. And it gives you something in return: a sense of power, confidence, and grace that sticks with you long after you step off the pole.
Why Isla Amore Loves Pole
At Isla Amore, we design for movement with purpose. Our activewear is made to move with you — whether you're flowing through spins, holding a flag, or nailing your first climb. We admire how Pole Sport combines strength and softness, control and creativity, and how it invites you to feel powerful in your skin. Pole athletes inspire us. They’re strong, expressive, and unafraid to take up space. And that’s the energy we live for.
Final Thoughts: Pole Is
More Than Sport
Pole is a celebration of the body and its limitless potential. It’s fitness, it’s art, it’s self-expression — and it’s changing the way we think about movement and femininity.
So whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone just curious to try, remember this: pole welcomes you as you are — and challenges you to grow stronger than you ever imagined.
Stay strong, stay soft, stay moving.
