Dakota Fox

Aradia USA

A tomboy by nature, Dakota began her pole fitness journey in 2008 after her mother convinced her to give it a try. After her first flip upside down… she was hooked! Dakota began teaching classes in 2009; in 2013 she bought ownership of Aradia Fitness Cary; and in 2014 she became the head of Aradia Fitness USA.

Dakota is passionate about wellness & empowerment; she found that the pole dance & fitness communities provided her a way in which to inspire persons in a personal, positive way. She takes great joy in having a small role in the physical & emotional transformation her clients experience during their journey at Aradia Fitness!

Outside of the studio, Dakota owns a succulent & houseplant business (Foxxy’s Floras) and is a new mother. Sharing her postpartum journey has been a special new way to connect with her Aradia family.

Tracy Reese

Aradia International

Tracy founded Aradia Fitness in 2003 after struggling to find a form of fitness that would keep her engaged while being effective. Before blazing a trail in the boutique fitness sphere, Tracy was a bank manager in Vancouver looking to utilize both her business & fitness skills and pole fitness allowed her to do just that. Tracy is passionate about building a safe, supportive community for all which is the cornerstone upon which Aradia was built. Tracy began franchising Aradia Fitness in 2005 and soon had locations throughout Canada and the USA. Tracy currently heads up Aradia international operations and is a post-secondary education marketing instructor. Not one to sit back, Tracy recently obtained her Chartered Marketer designation through the Canadian Marketing Association and launched a marketing agency, Royal Creative with her husband, Rob Reese. Tracy currently resides in Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada with her husband Rob and son Mason. Tracy is looking forward to celebrating Aradia’s 20th anniversary in November 2023.

Where did we start?

Aradia's Story

For entrepreneurs, Christine Boyer and Tracy Gray, being told “No” was just the beginning. Aradia Fitness began in the summer of 2003 when the two friends decided they wanted to learn how to pole dance. Finding there were no ‘pole dancing as fitness’ classes offered, they decided to utilize their backgrounds to develop a pole dancing and sensual fitness program for women of all shapes and sizes. Friends thought they were crazy, but they knew it would benefit people in many ways.

They ordered a pole, watched exotic dancers and practiced every day. Christine, a Pilates and yoga instructor, found this to be a superior full-body workout and immediately became addicted. Tracy, who stopped going to the gym because of boredom, quickly lost three dress sizes with her new-found fitness passion. They put the challenging pole moves into easy to learn steps, incorporated sensual movement, dance, Pilates, yoga and stretching, and developed a safe and effective pole dancing program. This program is now the foundation for all Aradia classes. Fit, empowered and confident, they knew that women everywhere would benefit from the physical and emotional benefits of the Aradia Fitness System. After months of development, Tracy and Christine officially launched Aradia Fitness pole dancing parties in December 2003 and Aradia Fitness classes in February of 2004. Classes sold out as soon as they were announced, and Tracy and Christine were able to quit their day jobs in less than 8 months to work on Aradia full-time taking the lead on a national fitness revolution.

The Aradia Fitness System is now making waves all over the fitness world. Since introducing this fun, entertaining form of fitness to the masses, Aradia has opened locations across North America and taught thousands of people.

We are thrilled to be the largest Pole Dancing for Fitness Franchise in the world.  Our instructors are trained via our Corporate Trainers, who specializes in safety instruction and well-researched curriculum.  Every class has been designed to be fun, safe and progressive in moves.

Aradia Fitness continues to expand throughout North America and we look forward to expanding and growing.
