Sarah, 
Altitude Pole Onehunga

The first Altitude was opened in 2010 by Karry Summers, using just a small room in Christchurch that was rented by the hour and had 4 poles up. 

After losing this space to the 2011 earthquake, the decision was made to lease a space solely for the use of Altitude Pole and really make a stand in the New Zealand pole scene.

Now in 2019 there are six Altitude Pole studios throughout New Zealand and the Altitude system has been proven time and time again. We're so excited to be looking global for this next step in the Altitude journey, be part of it with us!

Opening up with the Altitude Pole Franchise model was the best decision ever.

This model allows you to grow a sustainable business that can run without you working in it 24/7, which creates time and financial freedom. So much of the work has already been done for you and it is such a pleasure to work alongside the Altitude HQ team.

Emma, 
Altitude Pole Whanganui

Becoming an Altitude owner was the best thing I could have done for my existing studio, and for myself. With the fantastic systems they have built, not only providing a full curriculum but systems for improving student engagement and effective studio management, swapping to an Altitude offered us the opportunity to jump years into the future of where we would have been had I looked at doing this on my own.

Brand Manager, Marketing Co-Ordinator, Graphic Designer - Altitude Pole HQ

Steph began with Altitude as a student in 2014 and quickly found pole dancing and Altitude becoming an important part of her life. In 2016, with much excitement, she began freelance designing the odd thing for Altitude. Fast-forward to mid-2018, Steph was officially brought onto the team as Brand Manager for Altitude HQ. Shortly after that, in early-2019, Steph eagerly took on the Marketing Co-Ordinator role which gave her the opportunity to quit her muggle-design job and focus on Altitude fulltime. 

Steph is seriously passionate about design, branding and marketing. To have the opportunity to work for a brand that she truly believes in and be there to help more Altitude studios grow is an absolute dream come true. 

Steph

"Opening Altitude has filled my life with so much meaning and joy, seeing and hearing about the amazing journeys our students have during their time with us. And now I get to work with and help other amazing studio owners create a life they love. Seeing them succeed is the most amazing feeling in the world."
