Two Bay women have won their categories at the New Zealand National Amateur Pole Performer competition.
Kirsty Carter took away the performer (or beginner) level award while Jenny Benfell won the intermediate level award at the competition in Christchurch.
Pole fitness is an increasingly popular new fitness trend where women twist and turn their bodies up a fitness pole where they can balance, and pull different poses or tricks to increase their fitness level.
The two women have been learning pole performing at The Studio in Tauranga and joined another eight women performing at the regional competition in Auckland held April 25.
