And while she often gets people praising her for her self-confidence and stamina, she unfortunately is also inundated with rude remarks from trolls.
She shared a selection of the horrible comments in a Reel on her with one person writing: "People like to embarrass themselves."
"If she would be dancing on the pole in a strip club I would ask for a refund, and I'm not even a man!" another added.
"Why is she even doing this?" a third questioned.
"Need to hit the gym first," someone else insisted.
As another wrote: "So people just swing on a pole for fitness? It doesn't look like weight loss to me."
And someone else cruelly commented: "I thought I'd already seen everything but how wrong I was.
"First time seeing an elephant on a pole."

Others used emojis to express their feelings about the videos, with several comparing Joellie to a cooked chicken.
However, Joellie insisted she doesn't let the comments bother her.
"Unfortunately for trolls, I don't care what they think," she concluded the video montage of her pole dancing talents.
"Do what you love and do it proudly!"
She added in the caption: "Remember that sad and unhappy people say sad and unhappy things and their words do not mean ANYTHING to me.
";Keep poling and keep being unapologetically you!"
And people in the comments of that video were quick to lavish Joellie with praise.
"Cannot even believe what those vile people are saying to you ... keep ur head high you beautiful woman," one wrote.
"People make me sick - this is incredible!!!" another added.
"They out there writing these comments while you're getting stronger and hotter," a third said.
"For those people saying such things: pole dancing is some damn difficult stuff and requires such a strength and body control you would NEVER imagine just from watching," someone else wrote.
"Try it and you will see it. Almost all if not all of those commenting rude things would be quiet afterwards.
"This is impressive in my opinion. You go girl!"

And another added: "Your work is very impressive, I've been following your account for a while (you inspire me a lot), and you can tell how clear the change is, your evolution is amazing.
"If people actually knew how hard you have to train to be able to do even the simplest of tricks, they'd be shutting up."
