Posing A to Z with Phoebe Hagan
In this episode of Fit Body Lifestyle, we welcome back bikini pro and expert posing coach Phoebe Hagan to dive deep into the art, evolution, and empowerment behind stage posing—from A to Z.
Phoebe doesn’t just teach posing—she redefines it as a journey of connection, confidence, and constant growth. With a fire in her belly and a vision bigger than the stage, she opens up about her transition from in-person coaching to building a global online presence. She also shares the launch of her new Posing Portal app, a labor of love designed to make elite-level posing accessible, effective, and empowering for athletes around the world.
Whether you're a first-time competitor or a seasoned pro, this conversation is a masterclass in grace, grit, and growing through discomfort.
5 Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1. The Posing Portal App Is Live!
Phoebe’s biggest announcement? Her Posing Portal—originally a web-based platform—is now a fully functioning app! This shift has made posing resources more accessible, practical, and on-the-go for athletes everywhere.
2. Online Coaching Can Be More Impactful Than In-Person
Phoebe realized that coaching online actually helps clients connect more deeply with their bodies. Instead of being physically corrected, they must learn to interpret cues—building awareness and autonomy.
3. The Best Posers Are Not Always the Best Coaches
Being able to pose beautifully doesn’t necessarily translate into being able to teach it. Phoebe stresses the importance of hiring a coach who not only performs well but knows how to instruct different body types with clarity and care.
4. Vulnerability Is Part of the Process
Whether it’s your first time hitting a pose or your tenth show, posing can feel awkward and exposing. Phoebe creates a judgment-free space where athletes are encouraged to lean into that discomfort—because growth lives there.
5. Learning Never Ends—Even at the Top
Despite being one of the best in the world, Phoebe is still learning and evolving. Her humble attitude is a beautiful reminder that excellence is not a destination but a continual journey.
