    I met Greta at Pole 2 Pole Cup USA last month, and it was announced that she is 61. She has been poling for 2 years!!

    I actually was one of the judges for this event @PPC, & she blew my mind — to me she was the top in her category, bummed that she didn’t come in 1st (VERY close 2nd tho)… Greta if ur out there reading this, everyone down @ my studio (FPF in San Diego) is totally inspired by you & wants to see more of u — be expecting a more formal invite from us to perform at one of our semi-annual shows in the near future… But til then, please come & visit us anytime. You are sensational… Loved ur passion too, it really comes thru all ur movement, on & off the pole.

    Greta is definitely amazing!  She has so much strength!  I'm fortunte to be able to practice along side her.  She is a member at Pole Kraze in Murrieta, CA.  Taught by Kiki Leigh.  Side note: Greta was on TV for the American Ninja Warrior tryouts that played on G4TV this past Sunday.

    Hey girls,
    Greta is reading all of your posts. She says she is glad to help inspire people all over the world. I’m glad she finally got into competition. Yes, she is 61, soon to be 62 (wish her a happy birthday in november). Her youtube account is actually that of her son, which is why the age is 31. Nonetheless, she has the spirit of any youth I’ve seen and works at least twice as hard as anyone else I know.
