Frequently Asked Questions
Q What do I wear to a pole fitness class?
A: Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. You can wear yoga clothes, gym clothes or shorts and a crop top. Introduction classes can even wear track pants as most of your grip will be with your hands. As you progress through the levels, you will start to need more skin to grip the pole so advanced level students usually wear short, shorts and singlet tops.
Q How do I grip on the pole if my hands are slippery?
A We have grip aids in the studio that you can try if you are having problems gripping, we usually use dry hands, dew point or mighty grip gloves.
Q What should I know?
A Make sure that your hands are free of oil or lotion. Avoid wearing moisturizer on your legs if you’re wearing shorts, as you will not be able to stick to the pole during some of the moves, do not wear any jewelry as it may be scratched by the poles.
