Aradia Fitness Edmonton

Our Team.

Trained, certified, and insured to teach a refined and proven curriculum — bound together by our love for the apparatus, the drive to keep learning, and the willingness to share everything we know.

Who Are We?

The Heart of the Studio.

We genuinely believe it's our team that makes us the best. Every Aradia Fitness Edmonton instructor has taken a unique path here — some come from dance or fitness backgrounds, for others pole and aerial was their very first entry into physical activity. What brings us all together is our love for the apparatus, our drive to keep learning, and our willingness to share everything we know.

Our students agree: this team knows how to challenge them in positive and encouraging ways. Every instructor gets to know every student, providing support and empowering each person who walks through our doors.

Meet The Crew

Your Instructors.

Trained, certified, and genuinely excited to meet you.

Chantelle Beasley (she/her)

Owner & Pole Instructor

Proud owner of Aradia Fitness since 2011. With a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, my approach goes beyond fitness — it's about fostering mental wellness and building a supportive community within our studios.

As a trailblazer in the industry, I've had the honour of serving as the Western Canadian Master Pole Trainer for the Canadian Pole Fitness Association. As someone living with fibromyalgia, I know firsthand the challenges of integrating fitness into daily life — and that's shaped my passion for helping others face theirs with confidence and strength.

When I'm not in the studio, I'm a proud mom and happily married to my business partner, Jud Beasley.

Kirsten Hansen (she/her) · "Keeks"

Head of Operations, Sales & Networking

I teach Pole Levels 1–5, Spreadies on the ground and in aerial hammocks, and lead dynamic Group Lift sessions. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm passionate about creating a safe, inviting space where every student can learn, grow, and have fun.

I started here as a student in 2016 — and the experience changed my life. I became an instructor in 2017, joined the admin team, and my hobby quickly turned into my dream job. Can't wait to hang out with you!

Jenelle Laramee (she/her)

Operations Manager & Instructor Team Lead

Jenelle had no idea how much her life would change when she stepped into her first pole class at Aradia in December 2014. What started as a personal fitness journey quickly became her passion and career.

She became an instructor in 2017, joined the admin and management teams, and eventually left her job as an optometric assistant to make Aradia her full-time career. Helping students build strength, confidence, and skills brings her more joy than anything.

In 2018, while travelling in Thailand, she earned her Aerial Yoga certification. Now, as she prepares for motherhood, she's working on her Pre & Postnatal Fitness Certification, with plans to start a mini momma community at Aradia.

47 countries down and counting. She thrives on adventure — and can't wait to hang out with you (literally) in class.

Heleana Wagner (she/her)

Administrative Assistant · Customer Care · Front Desk Manager

I found passion in fitness during the pandemic, putting myself through absolutely brutal workouts on Facebook Live to help keep others motivated at home. After three months volunteering with FIT group training, I packed up my old accountant life and went to NAIT for two years to earn my Personal Training certificate.

I work with clients of every need and ambition in a judgement-free space. Whether your goal is to just get moving, lose weight, or build overall strength, I'm happy to be in your corner.

My aerial journey began in September 2022 and has continued to amaze me ever since.

Jeanelle Sloan (she/her)

St. Albert Manager

Jeanelle started her pole journey in 2018 and has been teaching at Aradia since 2022. She teaches a variety of classes including levelled pole, spin pole, pole flows, and flexibility & strength.

With an extensive background in classical dance, Jeanelle uses her understanding of technique, lines, and extension to guide her students to make strong, beautiful shapes on the pole. Her teaching style is silly, fun, and informative — and she is deeply passionate about helping people understand their bodies and recognize their true potential.

When not teaching, you can find Jeanelle performing as a pole and go-go dancer around the local community.

More Than Instructors

A Community Built
on Encouragement.

Many of our instructors began their journey as students — so they bring deep understanding, empathy, and passion to every class. Our team comes from all walks of life: social workers, doctors, parents, teachers, and more. Despite our diverse backgrounds, we share a common love for pole, aerial arts, and movement.

Inspire Uplift Guide

Each instructor has a full bio attached to their classes when you register. While you might get comfy with one instructor, we recommend trying a variety — you never know who can offer the cue or trick that just clicks.
