F.A.Q's

What do I bring to classes?

Regular Gym gear - Bottoms (beginners class only), Shorts and T-shirt, trainors for your warmup and workout and a pair of heels are optional for the dance routine.

Please remove jewellery before the class starts as it may scratch either you or the pole.

What do I bring to parties?

You'll get away with what you plan to wear that evening, your not going to be working up a big sweat at the parties.

How old do I have to be?

You must be at least 16 years old (with parental consent) to take part in a class or party.

Do I need to be super fit?

No. Polercise is suitable for anyone regardless of age, shape, size or fitness level. You can work at your own pace and to your own ability. Your fitness levels and strength will progress as you advance through the levels, You will find you are using muscles that you maybe haven't used before, so it can be a tough workout to start with. You will find that you ache for a few days, and possibly you will experience a small amount of bruising.

Obviously different people will advance at diferent rates and you can stay at whichever level you feel comfortable with.

Pole Tips

No oils or body lotions; wearing creams or lotions before your pole class can prove dangerous. You don't want to slip off the pole!

Always warm up, stretch and cool down; Warming up before a workout and colling down after one minimizes injury and strain. Stretching helps prepare and strengthen your muscles for the workout they are about to do. You are going to be using new and rarely used muscles, so prepare your body by using our great warm up exercises.

Grip the pole; You will need as much bare skin as possible to grip the pole. Wearing sleeveless tops and shorts will make some of your pole moves easier.

Check your posture; Use the mirrors to check your posture and poise. It will remind you to hold in your stomach and correct bad positioning.

Be Sexy; Wearing high heels will make you feel and look instantly sexier!! It will help with exotic floor moves and pole tricks - just be careful to take things slowly and gracefully.

Be Confident; Be confident in your moves, express yourself and don't worry about the size of your bum/ tummy etc. You'll look fantastic on your pole.

Look after your pole; Keep your pole dry by wiping with a cloth when slippy or wet.
