Kilo began her pole journey June 6, 2011. She heard about pole through a conversation and began to research for a local instructor. Upon research, she found someone teaching pole. She was a little nervous as she found that this was an apartment based "studio" business, she put her nervousness to the side and proceeded with her first lesson. After attending her first lesson, she felt a soreness that she never felt before. That was the day she began her journey.
Who is Kilo Kitty Buhrmaster?
Past, Present, Future
During the beginning of her journey, she started to become almost obsessed with pole videos on YouTube and really got into watching Competitions. She was drawn into Alethea Austin, Cleo the Hurricane and so many more.
Kilo got to experience her first live competition by being a spectator and it left a drive to compete. She began training until she broke her left fibula and had to put her dreams aside.
During the summer of 2014, Kilo got her X-Pert Pole Fitness Level 1 and 2 Certification. After receiving her certification, she began as an instructor at a local "studio" (at its current location) in June 2014. She became the Lead Instructor until February 2022 after 7.5 years.
Kilo got a new taste of pole after attending Pole Con during the summer of 2015. She began training again for competitions as well as performance while continuing to teach and work a full time corporate job. The summer of 2017 was the first taste of performing and competing.
Flash forward a bit in time. Kilo has earned over 9 placement titles, performed in numerous performances, and earned numerous certifications.
She loves to teach, helping others grow on their journey; seeing them grow into their potential. She has begun to teach workshops and offers opportunities of growth.
She wanted to improve as an instructor and continued her education by getting her X-Pert Pole Fitness Level 3-4 Certification in 2024 by being the first instructor in Greenville SC area to complete that certification while working on her Aerial Silks in 2025 and Aerial Hoop in 2023 by X-Pert.
Kilo has always been drawn to the fitness element of pole and had a desire to grow in outside of pole and aerial. With that desire she became Nationally Accredited Certified Personal Trainer via ISSA in 2025. Her love for Pole has not changed.
She loves to compete, she loves the challenge and every time she receives critique; it not only helps her as a competitor but she also takes it back to her students.
She loves to perform as she gets to tell a story, draw in her audience and express the many sides of pole.
Kilo opened Sanctuary of Pole (www.sanctuaryofpole.com) in 2023 for students to come and learn. Sanctuary of Pole opened inside of MOTIVE School of Movement in Greenville SC.
January 2026, Kilo moved locations and opened her studio inside Heddle Hill in Greenville. The new location has private bathrooms, private lobby and more space for pole, aerial and floor classes in one space without rearranging the space!!
The future is yet to be written.
She plans to continue teaching, helping others grow, find their selves on and off the pole. Kilo's goal is to offer her experience through various opportunities such as workshops and more. She welcomes opportunities to help others
She is continuing her education by working on more certifications and concentrating on the fitness side.
She plans to continue to perform, to portray many characters as well as the different styles of pole.
She plans to continue to compete and earn her professional card in Pole Sport Organization, USPSF, Georgia Pole Fitness Classic as well as many others.
She is just an email, text or a call away!
