Anyone heard of Pro-fit Professional Poles?
One of the students at our studio wants to get a home pole. I suggested she go with one of the major retailers. However, she found a pole on Amazon.com called the Pro-fit Professional pole that's a little more than $100 cheaper than anything I suggested. She asked my opinion of it. I'd never heard of it and was wondering if anyone on here has any experience at all with one of these. Any info would be appreciated!!!

That is a piece of garbage and she will end up getting rid of it and spending the money twice. Do you see the parts that put the pieces of the pole together? They are plastic. She would be better finding a used pole on craigslist than buying that pole.

She should also try posting on here. I bought my Xpert used from a Veener 🙂
I have never regretted spending more to get a good quality pole. I would remind her that a good, safe pole will be really helpful not only for poling at home but also for body weight strength training exercises and for flexibility training. I use mine to do beginner squats with proper form (so I don't tip over backward, lol), do pole holds and seated pull ups for upper body strength, to do back/side stretching, and as a brace for deep lunges and butterfly stretch. Definitely worth the investment!

WOW…I just reread my post and it sounds really bitchy. Did not mean it that way. But as I always say, there is no such thing as a safe cheap pole.

It's ok Chem – I didn't think you sounded bitchy. You said exactly what I was thinking when I saw it.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I just figured that on the off chance I was completely wrong someone would be able to tell me. It's nice to feel like at least I'm not the only one who thinks that it's going to be a piece of crap when I tell her I don't think she should get it. I'm also very skeptical of the company that sells them – since they obviously don't manufacture them.

I bought a pole from Amazon in January and since then it hasn’t given me any problems 🙂 it was only around 150 and it was the portable fitness exercise spinning pole from OneStopShop. With stainless steel finish and 45mm. So not all poles from amazon are bad..

^ ^ until you have issues with it and cannot get any sort of service……or replacement parts.

I’ve already had issues with it and I called the distributor and they were kind enough to exchange the parts thank you .
