Are these classes suitable for beginners?Yes! Beginner friendly classes are clearly marked as beginners so you know what level class is suitable for you. These classes are perfect for anyone that has not tried pole fitness before or is still wanting to master the basics. Class sizes are kept small to allow each student to get enough time and attention with the instructor to build your confidence and knowledge of each move.
-
What should I wear?You can wear anything you feel comfortable in. I would suggest a top you can move around in, such as a tee shirt or vest and a pair of shorts to allow your legs to grip to the pole.
-
Is there a weight limit for starting class?Absolutely not! All equipment we use is industrially tested and checked regularly. We use industry standard X-Poles, which are the preferred equipment used by professionals across the world.
-
Are these classes open to all genders?Yes, absolutely. We welcome everybody to our classes, we all share the same goal. To get fit, build strength and have fun while doing it.
-
What should I bring with me?Make sure to bring water with you to stay hydrated throughout class. We will provide cloths and anti-bacterial spray for the poles but you might want to bring a small towel for your hands. Make sure to bring shorts.
-
Do I need to be flexible to start these classes?No! The aim of these classes are to learn new tricks and transitions on the pole which will help you build strength and stamina. For some more advanced moves flexibility will help, but we work with your body in achieving moves that work with you and your level. We will do some gentle dynamic stretching to warm up and a static stretch to cool down at the end of class which will help you gain flexibility as well. If flexibility is a goal of yours, then we do have a dedicated flexibility class you can book onto, check our timetable for times.

What should I wear?You can wear anything you feel comfortable in. With aerial hoop you want to have your skin covered as much as possible. I would suggest a long sleeve top you can move around in and a pair of leggings.
-
Is there a weight limit for starting class?Absolutely not! All equipment we use is industrially tested and checked regularly. Our beams are LOLer tested annually and can hold limits above 1 ton (1000kg), all equipment is regularly checked and replaced when necessary.
