Sarah Brocklehurst

Sarah is the Director of FunkyFitFirm Poledance Fitness School.

FunkyFitFirm was inspired by Sarah’s personal observation that a healthy lifestyle should be just as stimulating as our social lives to be maintained.

Her first project “When Health Meets Hedonism” tested this idea by splicing an exercise class with a DJ set featured in TimeOut and BBC London in 2005.
