Invertika at Rimini Wellness: Energy, Community, and Love for Pole!

From May 29th to June 1st, 2025, Rimini Wellness, the leading event for fitness, wellness, and sports enthusiasts, took place in Rimini. We at Invertika were present at The Pole Village with our stand and experienced a weekend full of energy, great emotions, and lots of pole dance.

As we all know, every event has its share of unforeseen incidents, but this time we outdid ourselves. It’s as if the universe conspired to give us a collection of anecdotes worthy of a sitcom.

And who are we not to share them with our community?

Safety shoes and parallel businesses

At the fair entrance, Fabrizia was denied access: she didn't have safety shoes. A surreal situation. Plan B was initiated: she urgently bought the cheapest available model, an shapeless size 41 for 30 euros. The result: she walked like a circus clown.

But the best was yet to come. A guy, also blocked, asked to borrow them: "I just need to put something down, I'll give you 15 euros." She, with the calmness of a Zen master, lent them to him and waited in her socks. Only later did she discover that... the girls had also brought her shoes.

The legendary or millennial stand

Assembling the stand has become a mystical ritual. Every year we say "this is its last run"... but it holds on. Now a museum piece, with bolts mysteriously disappearing and missing components requiring creative fittings, the assembly becomes an act of faith and engineering. But in the end, as always, we manage it. A bit crooked, but with dignity.

Hostage luggage and Zen spirit

The trip continued with a small logistical setback: Giada was forced to cancel at the last minute... but she also had Anika and Silvia's suitcases. The two therefore found themselves spending the first night without a change of clothes, without makeup, and without even a pair of socks. But they faced it all with lightness and self-deprecating humor, turning the lack of clothing into a moment of comedy and sharing.

Scientific breakfast: theory and reality

Meanwhile, Fabrizia prepared with Swiss precision: 4 Mellin bars, one for each morning. Perfect planning. Too bad the first one was devoured in less than an hour. Rationality lost to fairground appetite. The Mellin, like patience, ran out earlier than expected.

Birthday and signals from the cosmos

The evening before Fabrizia's birthday, Anika was a mix of excitement and despair, waiting for midnight. And then the number 19 appeared: 19 minutes left, 19% battery, all while Fabrizia, of course, convinced herself it was a cosmic sign. The search for symbolism began: "What does 19 mean? Rebirth? Enlightenment? Lottery?"

Dinner, sea air and improvised shows

After the show, we found ourselves on the beach for dinner with over 30 team members. We brought the platform used for the show next to our table and the improvisation began, to the applause of the other tables and much fun:

Marika Waldorf got a bump on her head during an acrobatic duet with Riccardo.

Ricky, ever shyer, ended up (of course) in his underwear on the pole.

Danilo (Mr. The Pole) left us all speechless with flags and tricks like an experienced performer. Shock!! No one knew he was a hidden talent.

Secret identities at the fair

And then there's Giada, who didn't recognize The Pole's sales rep. To the kind question:

"Do you need a hand?", she confidently replied: "I WORK for The Pole." A surreal scene began: both repeated that they worked for The Pole, without ever having met... Until it was discovered that the intruder was indeed Giada. But with such confidence that almost everyone believed her.

and finally...

In any case, Simona's legendary and now iconic swing once again did its duty this year. But Danilo, once again, escaped his fate: wearing the Invertika outfit. A forfeit still NOT paid. But we don't forget.

The moral of the story:

Between historic stands, breakfasts that ended too soon, improbable shoes, and performances under the stars, we experienced unrepeatable moments. An event we won't forget not only for the unforeseen incidents, but for how we transformed them into laughter, true connections, and memories that will always be part of our history and identity.
