FAQ

What you need to know as a beginner

How much does it cost and how do I pay it?

We run an 8 week term for $205, we do require $50 deposit upon signing up for your class. After the class starts and that initial $50 deposit you can pay the remainder off in weekly or fortnightly instalments, whatever suits your budget. We do ask that the total term cost be paid in full by Week 6.

How do I Sign up?

Please follow the link to our bookings page and book your spot in our beginner’s class. After this is done make sure to fill out our student information form, The Covid-19 declaration form and our liability waiver as well. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us via our social media pm’s or by texting Cilyse on 0474 308 838.

What do I wear to class?

Most girls feel most comfortable starting pole in a pair of bike pant length shorts, Sports Bra & a singlet or t-shirt. However, as you advance in pole most girls will start to be more comfortable in a sports bra and Pole shorts / undies. This is due to more confidence, feeling more comfortable in the environment and the less clothes the more grip you have to help you stay on the pole.

Please wear a pair of shoes easily removed as we don’t wear shoes into the studio.

Please try to avoid moisturiser in the 24-48 hours prior to class as it can make our skin super slippery and makes our pole grip suffer. 

Do I need to bring anything to class with me?

If you can bring a water bottle, we do have a refill station in the studio if you run out. You are also welcome to bring a hand towel if you would like, but we do supply these as well.

What if I am not fit or flexible?

Don’t worry about it at all, honestly most of us weren’t fit or flexile when we first started either. The great thing about pole is that it is for everyone, no matter your age, gender, size, fitness level or flexibility.

We start you at the very basics and teach you everything you need to know. You will build strength and flexibility as you progress. If you are wanting to work on your flexibility check out the current timetable and availability for our stretch & flex class.

What if I miss a class?

We offer make up classes…. Just make sure to let your class teacher know that you will be off that class, either by phone message or pm on one of our socials.

You can make up the class in another class of the same or lower levels, you will also have all term to use the makeup class so it doesn’t matter if you’re not available to do it in the same week.

Above everything else just remember that all the teachers are here to help, it you have any questions or need to discuss anything please feel free to reach out to any of us and have a chat xx
