Nicole of Strong Souls

Don and Nicole discuss the “martial arts” parallels of the sport—how it builds a sense of security, self-worth, and energy that carries over into a student’s family life.

In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down with Nicole, the owner and founder of Strong Souls, a unique pole dance and fitness studio located in Mulberry, Florida. Nicole shares her personal journey from being a non-dancer who initially struggled with her first class to becoming a certified instructor and business owner dedicated to creating a supportive space for women of all backgrounds.

Strong Souls offers a variety of classes, including tricks-based fitness, “heel flow” dance, and even Lyra (aerial hoop). Nicole emphasizes that the studio is built on a foundation of inclusivity, welcoming individuals of all body types, ages (with students as young as 30 and as seasoned as 66!), and fitness levels.

Whether you’re looking for an intense new way to get strong or a creative outlet to express yourself, Nicole’s passion for “strong souls” and healthy bodies makes her studio a standout addition to the local fitness scene. 112
