Peta Howlett is the founder and Chief Motivation Coach of our women’s only studios. Peta is on a mission to create a community, build confidence and improve the health and fitness of women throughout Australia.

Peta discovered pole dancing when she was looking to regain the self-confidence she’d lost as a result of both a bad relationship, and a soul-destroying job in a government bureaucracy.

She had always been into fitness and trained regularly. But at the end of the day, she was just like everyone else, and would sometimes struggle to get to the gym because she didn’t really love what she was doing. It was just exercise.

So, when she completely fell in love with her pole dancing class, she was blown away. (She now ‘warns’ other women that pole is seriously addictive).

Whilst she loved pole as an alternative to other forms of fitness, it was what it did for women that impressed her most. In each and every class, she saw how it helped women feel good about themselves, and how their confidence improved beyond measure. She watched women laugh and enjoy themselves, and she experienced the incredible community of sharing and support, that it forged between the students.

But she wanted more. The newly self-confident Peta knew she had a bucket load of energy and so much more to give.

So in 2009, she took a fresh look at the world and wrote down some goals. She knew three things;

• She loved the sport (and art) of Pole Dancing
• She absolutely loved everything it did for women
• She wanted to find a way for even more women to rebuild their lives and regain their best selves.

So she set out to create a pole-dancing studio that was a community of women who motivated, inspired and supported each other; hence Studio Exclusive was born. You can read more about how Studio Exclusive came into being.
