    What should I wear to Pole Fit classes?

    I would suggest shorts/gym top, however some attendees wear trousers. Generally whatever you feel comfortable in. Footwear ranges from high heels to trainer or barefoot. Personally I wear dance trainers in beginner sessions, with heels for performance or more advanced classes. When students feel more comfortable moving around a pole... heels can worn for parts of the sessions.

    How old do should you be to attend Pole Fit?

    Age 16 years or over.

    How many participants are in a Pole Fit class?

    In the group courses there can be up to 12 participants. 1 2 1' can have up to 4 friends in/small groups normally up to 6 friends. Pole parties can have up to 24 people.

    Can men attend Pole Fit

    Yes, men can attend 121s, group courses, and all other courses/open classes.

    How do I book onto the FREE taster sessions?

    Call, text or email Faye with the full names of those that want a place. No deposit is required.

    What is the difference between 121/small group sessions/Courses?

    Courses run every six weeks allowing set progress throughout the course.. I find course or memberships work best if you want to commit to a dance/exercise plan! The sessions are fun, friendly and a great way to meet other like minded polers:)

    121/Small group session work best if you cannot make it every week/are a little shy/have a group of friends who are looking to try pole.. Again the session work similar to the group courses, progressing you through the level here at pole fit.

    How do I book onto Course/121 session?

    Call or Email Faye to ensure a space is available on the required one. A deposit of £30 is paid in advance to secure the place, this can be paid in cash or PayPal or cheque, by post or coming into the studio. The remaining course fee is payable on the start night. see Terms and Conditions

    With 121/small group sessions, call Faye to see availability.

    How do I arrange Membership??

    Attend a Pole Fit FREE taster to try out the type of class we run first. Decide which membership is best suited for your needs and which sessions you'd like to attend. Email Faye on faye@pole-fit.co.uk for all information.

    WHY should I choose membership at POLE FIT??

    The Pole Fit membership plans allow daily use of the studio, so its not only cheaper, the option can assist in progression on the Pole.

    Alongside Pole group courses and Pole practice sessions, there are options to add Hula Hoop or Aerial Arts courses, which will add to individual skills. Doing courses separate can be expensive, but again the membership plans workout cheaper, savings can be viewed on the membership page.

    Who do I make the cheque payable to?

    Please make all cheque's payable to Pole Fit

    How do I book a Pole Party?

    Call or email Faye with preferred dates to ensure the availability. A deposit is required to secure the booking. see Terms and Conditions

    Should I moisturize ?

    No. Do not wear any moisturizers or oils on the hands or body on the day of your pole class. You will not stick to the pole and its dangerous for those using the pole after yourself.

    Is the class for future pole dancers?

    Some attendees have gone into the pole dancing industry after attending the classes and have found it to be an invaluable experience for them. Many students go on to perform non striptease pole and competitions. Generally most attendees just do it for fun or fitness.

    Can men attend Pole Fit classes?

    Men can participate in 1 2 1/Small group sessions and pole parties.

    What kind of workout does Pole Fit provide?

    Being a fitness and exercise to music instructor I can confidently say Pole fit provides cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training in the classes. I do however stress the importance of continued exercise throughout the week such as walking, running or aerobic classes.

    Who should not attend Pole Fit classes?

    Pole Fit is not advised to pregnant women/people with back problems/people who have had recent surgery. If you have not exercised in a long time I would seek your GP's advice before.

    Will I ache? Get bruising??

    The first time you attend the class the next day you will feel discomfort in areas where you would not think possible, as you would when you participate in a new form of exercise. This achy feeling gets much better as you progress. However bruising does occur on legs especially. To combat this problem floor work (landing on your knees) is kept to a minimum. If you feel any discomfort during the class I will advise accordingly.
