If you've ever debated that pole fitness is a sport—give it a whirl, dummy. It takes major strength. And it takes major talent to exhibit such impressive brawn elegantly. This'll be the second year that the Atlantic Pole Fitness Championships go down in Halifax, with athletes competing in amateur, masters, pro, doubles and mens. Check out this could-be olympic sport and you're guaranteed to be wowed by the power of the human body used creatively. —Allison Saunders
