Hypnotic Pole Fitness invites you to embrace a more confident you
Owner Lola Omolabi is passionate about helping women feel strong in their bodies.
Lola Omolabi never considered herself a dancer. In fact, she spent most of her early career in finance and technology, working for JP Morgan, Oracle, Google, and Microsoft.
When she relocated to her fiancé’s hometown of Lancaster in 2021, she starting working remotely as a daytrader but soon began to think about pursuing work that was less stressful and more unconventional.
Around the same time, Lola joined Studio Spin, a local pole fitness studio to decompress from her day job.
“Most of my friends and colleagues were online at that point, so I really found community at the studio,” Lola shared. “It was a way for me to truly unwind and connect.”
Two years after joining, Lola became an instructor and fell in love with the process of helping other women feel strong and confident in their bodies.
When the owner of Studio Spin decided to sell the business, Lola jumped at the opportunity—renaming it Hypnotic Pole Fitness to capture her vision for the studio and for the community there.
“Growing up in a strict Nigerian immigrant household, embracing your body was very taboo,” she shared. “I had to change my mindset to enjoy dancing for myself, and I am grateful to empower others to do the same.”
Lola also wants to educate people and break some of the misconceptions people may have about pole—stressing the value of pole as a great form of fitness that enhances the mind-body connection and makes you stronger, more confident, and in touch with your sensual energy.
“There’s just so many beautiful, different styles to explore, and you don’t need to have experience or be at a certain fitness level to come try a class,” she said.
Hypnotic Pole Fitness offers classes based on skill level as well as classes for flexibility, conditioning, and aerial work. Memberships are also available for those who want more from their journey.
“I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur,” Lola said. “I feel like I’m living my wildest dreams.”
