Can I drop in whenever I want?
We can never guarantee that a spot will be open since there are certain numbers of equipment. Also, most programs are designed as a progressive learning style. It’s recommended that you wait for a new series to begin or take a look at our single class schedule for drop-in classes that can be modified for all levels of experience.
What do you learn in the 12 week pole level classes?
Classes are properly instructed with gradual pole moves to prevent injury. You will learn a series of pole dancing and pole fitness moves and during the last 6 weeks you will learn a choreographed piece to combine what you have learned!
What do I wear?
Typical fitness attire, however we do ask that your clothing is free from any metal such as zippers, studs, etc. Certain types of clothing are required for the type of classes you’re in. For example, when climbing the pole you would require shorts, for polefit indoor running shoes are recommended, for aerial silks you must wear leggings and the armpits must be covered.
What kind of footwear do I bring?
We go barefoot pretty much in every class! Some classes might require that you wear socks for pole flow, platforms for rising women, or typical running shoes for PoleFit.
Do I need to be strong, fit or lose weight prior to joining?
No! We teach you everything you need to know! Every body type and fitness level are welcome!
I am a beginner and have never done this before!
Our classes are well broken down to help you gain the confidence you need. Everyone needs to start somewhere!
What is the difference between Pole Fitness Level classes and PoleFIT class?
PoleFIT is more focused on all the strength-building exercises that are incorporated with the pole. We make squats, lunges, and pull-ups safe and rewarding by using the pole for stability and support. There is also a cardio aspect incorporated which can be described basically as pole aerobics.
Pole levels are fun and effective by doing repetitions of the moves you learn each week, working different muscles each time. Levels are for those who want to learn all the spins, pole holds, and some pole dance choreography. If you decide you love pole choreography even more then we have choreo classes you can join as well such as pole flow or rising women.
I have a background in dance, fitness and/or gymnastics - do I have to start in beginner pole?
The answer is yes. It’s important to understand the terminology used and the basic body alignment and technique for pole fitness. This is important to keep your body injury-free and for you to be able to build upon more advanced moves, also to understand how to effectively use the pole as it is a piece of fitness equipment. If someone is progressing at a stronger pace, it may be considered for them to move up a level.
I’m concerned about my medical condition or past injuries.
