Hi, Privet, Sawasdee!
Welcome to our newly refurbished, three-storey studio: Óna Active. We are located on the beautiful, tropical island of Phuket in Thailand. Founded in 2014, we now operate as an international studio providing a comfortable environment for our community to get strong and confident in fitness, dance, and aerial.
The Studio
Our Journey to
ÓNA Active
Our story started in 2014 when a small studio was founded in Rawai. It was really tiny, 35 square meters, so it couldn't fit many classes and students. We didn't feel it was enough for us and our students so right before COVID started we'd moved to a new location and renamed our studio into Easy Pole Dance because that's mostly what we were doing: pole dancing and pole sport.
In 2022 our business is undergoing some changes again. The studio is being renovated, we've added the third floor, installed new poles and we're aiming at expanding: new instructors, new classes. Students from more than 40 countries choose to join us and we do appreciate it. So there came a moment when we realized that we've grown out of "Easy Pole Dance" and become something bigger. This name just didn't reflect us anymore.
Our purpose is not just to create a place for classes and organize them, but much bigger: we stand for female health, fitness, and community. These are our main values. We believe that the business should live up to its name, so a decision was made: from October 2022, build and create everything under the name ÓNA ACTIVE. It perfectly shows everything we aspire to.
Why?
- ACTIVEWith fitness and pole dance, you can gain huge amounts of strength, flexibility, endurance, confidence, a bunch of good hormones, and the feeling of being happy in your own skin and body, which can dramatically improve the quality of your life and your energy level.
- ÓNAWhen you hear "Óna", it associates with something female and tender, doesn't it? It even means "grace" as a girl's name. As we said, we stand for women and their health. One of our main purposes is to build a large fitness-oriented community for women. It's important for people to be part of something and be sure that you can find support when you need it, have an opportunity to meet new people, and just have fun and relax when you feel like it. We wanted to create such a place for you and that's what we're doing.
