Try walk walks for learning the control. Here is how we teach them at our studio.

Thank you all for your quick responses! I do think of it the same way Veena explained based on which way the head is moving. Sometimes all of the different names just get so confusing!
Things can change just from instructor to instructor, but when you start to add in that we are all from different countries and speak different languages that makes it even crazier! -
We have tried several things in our studio and Clorox Green Works by far works the best! Plus none of the harsh smells of the other cleaners when you're wiping down a lot of poles at a time.

I'm going to second the shout out to Lizz and Randy at Lil Mynx. Sometimes I feel like I call them way too much (and sometimes in a panic) but they always help with what I need and their shipping turnaround is amazingly fast!

I agree with what everyone else has said. We tend to equate muscles with being tight because typically the flexibilty training is negelected by heavy lifters. But along those lines, this is funny….and be sure to watch the last 10 seconds!

Contact Lil Mynx and ask them for help. They sell a drop mount you can put on the ceiling (if you have the correct corrections) that will bring the ceiling connection down then you just get a 10 ft pole and it goes up and down when you want it. Simple, no drilling in the concrete and probably way cheaper.

There is no such thing as spot reducing. The only thing that gets rid of fat is burning it off.
Zombieland had this one right….Rule #1 – Cardio.

Have you tried getting into it from the floor? Turn your back to the pole and work your way into a handstand. Then when you grip with the legs your belly will already be on the pole, but your hands will be on the floor to help you. Then you slowly learn to lift them up just 1 inch. If you were to fall, your hands would go down and you'd be in a handstand again. I make all of my students back into it before they fully invert so they know what to expect when they get up there.
And I second the spotter as well!

Go buy the Emergen-C packets. (You can get them at any CVS or drug store) You dissolve them in water and drink one a day. It sort of tastes like Tang. The bruises literally disappear! It was really amazing for me. Now I drink one a day just to keep the bruises away.

We are located in Fredericksburg, very near Stafford. And we do have open pole/gym on Friday evenings. We also have pole classes that are drop ins every week night. So you can drop in whenever you want for just 1 class at a time. Check us out at http://www.polar-fit.com or call me at 540-850-5192 and we will get you all set up for what you need while you are visiting.
Thank you Stephanie for the mention. I've heard such wonderful things about you, I wish you were much closer to us! Either as in instructor or just to have someone to pole with! Unfortunately there just haven't been any studios around here so we don't have much of a poling community to have any advanced students for me to play around with. But we are slowly growing them and soon we will have a great poling community in this area!

I don't know how long YouTube will leave the link up, but here is a quick part of the piece that aired.

Not sure if I should start a new thread, but I read on their site that heels are required once you get past 101. Is that typical in a studio? We don't require them at all and in fact, majority don't use them. We really focus on the fitness side and some classes are even taught boot camp style where heels would not be able to be used.
What is your experience? Do most studios require heels? -
I opened a studio in October/November. It's WAY more work than I realized it was going to be. However, we are a full fitness studio, not just a pole studio. I'd be glad to answer any questions that I can but I've probably had a little different expirence because of our diversity.

Although the pole is 2in in diamater, it's not solid so it's pretty easy to cut. We did ours with a regular hacksaw. Call Randy and I'm sure they can take care of it, or tell you how.

Where did you read it? Can you give us a link? I've done a search but can't come up with anything.
