Aradia Fitness Edmonton

Who are we?

We genuinely believe it is our team that makes us the best. They are all trained, certified, and insured to teach a refined, thoroughly researched, and proven curriculum.

All the Aradia Fitness Edmonton instructors have taken unique paths to get to where they are today. A few have dance or fitness backgrounds and, for some, pole and aerial was their first entry into physical activity and sport. What brings us all together is our love for the apparatus, the drive to continue learning, and the willingness and capability to share our knowledge and skills.

Our experiences over the years are part of what makes your journey with each of us special and uniquely yours. Our current students agree the team knows how to challenge them in positive and encouraging ways. Every instructor gets to know all their students, providing support, and empowering each person coming through our doors.

We invite you to challenge yourself and try a class at Aradia Fitness Edmonton. Each experience with us is designed to have you feeling strong, fit, and confident as you progress through your pole and aerial journey with us.

Chantelle Beasley (she/her)

Owner & Pole Instructor

I’m Chantelle Beasley, the proud owner of Aradia Fitness since 2011. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work, my approach goes beyond just fitness—it’s about fostering mental wellness and building a supportive community within our studios.

As a trailblazer in the fitness world, I’ve had the honor of serving as the Western Canadian Master Pole Trainer for the Canadian Pole Fitness Association. For me, pole dancing is more than a workout; it’s been a life-changing journey that has empowered me to embrace and celebrate my body.

As someone living with fibromyalgia, I know firsthand the challenges of integrating fitness into daily life. This journey has shaped my passion for helping others face their own challenges with confidence and strength.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m a proud mom to an amazing daughter and happily married to my business partner, Jud Beasley. Together, we’ve built a space where fitness, mental wellness, and community come together to create something truly special.

Kirsten Hansen (keeks)(she/her)

Head of Operations, Sales & Networking

Hi! I’m Kirsten (She/Her), but you can call me Keeks!  I teach Pole levels 1-5, Spreadies on the ground and in Aerial Hammocks, and lead dynamic group fitness classes at our Group Lift sessions. As a member of the LGTBQIA+ community, I am passionate about creating a safe, inviting space where every student can learn, grow, and have fun while moving their bodies. As the Director of Operations at Aradia, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative Pole can be. I started my journey here as a student in 2016, and the experience changed my life—both physically and emotionally. The best part of Aradia is hands down the incredible, supportive Aradian Community that encourages me to do things that I once thought would be impossible. I became an instructor in 2017 then joined the admin team, and my hobby has quickly turned into my dream job! I can’t wait to hang out with you!

Jenelle Laramee(she/her)

Operations Manager and Instructor Team Lead

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

Now, as the Operations Manager & Instructor Team Lead, Jenelle has had the chance to work in many roles within Aradia and alongside an incredible community. The studio became her second home, pushing her to achieve things she once thought were impossible. She became an instructor in 2017, later joined the admin and management teams, and eventually took the leap to leave 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—especially watching them hit their milestones.

Her love for movement extends beyond pole. In 2018, while traveling in Thailand, she earned her Aerial Yoga certification, deepening her appreciation for aerial arts. Now, as she prepares for a new adventure—motherhood—she is working on her Pre & Postnatal Fitness Certification, with plans to start a mini momma community at Aradia, making fitness accessible to moms at every stage of pregnancy and postpartum.

When she’s not at the studio, Jenelle loves exploring the world—47 countries down and counting! She thrives on adventure and discovering new places.

Passionate about fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, Jenelle can’t wait to hang out with you (literally) in class and help you discover just how strong and capable you are!

Heleana Wagner(she/her)

Administrative Assistant, Customer Care and Front Desk Manager

Hi, I’m Heleana, (she/her) and I found passion in fitness during the pandemic, putting myself through some absolutely brutal workouts on facebook live to help keep others motivated at home. After volunteering with FIT group training- formerly West Edmonton Fitbody Bootcamp- 3 months, I packed up my old accountant life & went to NAIT for 2 years to achieve my certificate in Personal Training!

I work with a variety of clients with multiple needs & ambitions to help them achieve their goals in a judgment free space. Whether your goal is to just get moving, weight loss or increasing your overall strength, I am happy to be in your corner & support in any way I can!

My aerial journey began in September of 2022 & has continued to amaze me ever since! I look forward to helping others find their passion for fitness & continuing to help clients achieve goals they never imagined possible.

Jeanelle Sloan(she/her)

St. Albert Manager

Jeanelle (she/her) started her pole journey in 2018 and has been teaching at Aradia since 2022. She teaches a variety of classes including levelled pole classes, spin pole classes, pole flows and flexibility & strength classes. 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 can be described as silly, fun and informative, and she is very passionate about helping people understand their bodies and recognize their true potential. When not teaching, you can find Jeanelle performing as a pole and gogo dancer around the local community!
