Charlie Gunner
Charlie is a long time poler and has been a student at High for a couple of years now and has decided to become a student of TEACHING POLE 
and we are so pleased for her as we know she is going to be fantastic. Many of you already know Charlie from Pole and Hoop classes and some of our newcomers will have met her on our recent Intro to Pole courses. Charlie is assisting the Beginners Pole sessions and will be obtaining her Xpert Pole Level 1&2 in November. Here’s a little word from Charlie…I started pole about 10 years ago because I wanted to try something different from the gym. I loved it straight away, and my confidence grew! I love choreo and heels flow, but there’s nothing like getting a strength move you have been working on for a while. I love this community and want to help new polers feel comfortable in their skin and realise what their bodies can do on the pole! Outside of pole, I’m animal obsessed and love true crime and anything spooky 
KAYLA MCINNES
Kayla joined the High Team in October 2023 and is delivering Beginners Aerial Hoop and bringing back the children’s Aerial classes this autumn. We’re super excited to welcome Kayla to our lovely, slightly crazy 
upside-down loving family in Shrewsbury. Kayla is Xpert trained in Aerial Hoop and the Children’s Pole and Aerial activities. A few words from Kayla…. I started hoop in 2021. Originally, I started pole off and on due to the lockdowns, but when I saw a hoop class advertised, I knew it was a bit of me! I had my first class and instantly fell in love. Over the last couple of years, I have performed several times on hoop and was brave enough to put myself into a competition! In February 2023, I undertook the X-Pert hoop course because I want to help other people realise the amazing capabilities their body has, grow in confidence, and learn some pretty cool tricks! I dabble in all sorts of aerial now, including pole, flying pole, silks, lollipop, and most recently, hammock. I also love to go hiking and get a bridge or split picture at the summit!
