Agreed Haloanne! I have so many spreadsheets b/c it is so difficult to classify. I like you version better than mine because it looks cleaner & isn’t so overwhelming. Thanks for sharing!

I know what you mean. It’s a difficult position to be in. I’ve experienced something similar in noticing the way some teach based on common sense safety knowledge that you just gain by doing this awhile. I would love to continue to go to the studi I trained at the most but between not feeling like I can learn anything new myself & seeing level of instruction new students get, I don’t even bother. It’s just really frustrating to miss out on the “studio atmosphere”. But you just have to weigh the costs/ benefits..especially if you know it’ll be hard to bite your tongue. I hope you find the balance & maybe it will encourage you to instruct in the future.

Thanks! Thinking about my space, I might just need to save my money & stick to chrome!
it will help but not enough to justify the cost ATM -
@Wcox what has been your experience transitioning from silicone to chrome. I’m thinking of getting silicone but not sure if it will really help build my strength for chrome. I ask bc it took some adjusting when I was practicing on my 50 for about 3 months & tried to go back to my 45.

Love it! Perfect for the A.D.D. poler in me that just wants to “rush” in so to speak. It’s great you’ve added links to the moves we need to know how to do before attempting. I’might so glad a finally purchased a subscription.

I agree @lula geddes I was one of the first people down for the challenge but I just didn’t make time to follow thru. I had some free time yesterday and since it was the start of a new week, I just went for it. Cant worry where everyone else is at. I’d hurt myself trying to catch up a this point. The plan is to take it one day at a time. Look at the plan, estimate how long it will take and fit it in! Glad I have you ladies to keep me accountable.

I have a pole and just got a subscription this month. Really looking forward to actually using it. Let me know. I’m in.

I like this idea! I would love to go to Pole EXpo but I pretty much only travel up & down the east coast for cost reasons. But let me know what I can do to help you get this started!

Not sure how long you’re here or what part…I’m in Raleigh if you’re interested in meeting up. I know plenty of polers! There are 3 average sized studios around here.

I have an Xpert for sale! My 45mm came today so I’m willing to part with my 50mm. Asking $260 but reasonable offers will be considered. Pictures on Craigslist. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/for/4457109349.html

Thanks Cantetinza17, I saw that video and that’s what really had me thinking “I can do this”. I’ve come along ways from the old, lazy me. I took the ASVAB 3 times before I decided on college and now several years later, I’m still thinking about it and surprisingly, I’m not too old for the Air Force. lol. I appreciate the advice and encouragement. And as always I will definitely treat everyone how I want to be treated. Roles can always be reversed and you never know when you will need someone. I wish everyone lived by the golden rule but that would be too easy, right? Thanks to you both (@nichtooks)!

Can I bump this? Want to hear perspective from people in the military. I really want to join as an officer. Would just like to hear about a day in the life of someone balancing a military career and pole which I also see as a career move in the near future.

I’m Kelz_NC. Never used Skype but I willing to try. This sounds like fun!

@chemgoddess1 Thanks for that! now I don’t feel so weak (we polers are usually pretty strong)! lol. I bought mine used and I don’t have the carrying case so I can only take 2 pie pieces at at a time (hence the extra trip). lol

Your english is perfect! I have a Xstage lite, I like it although it doesn’t get much use. I really use it mostly for traveling. And that’s only b/c I live on the second floor and I just feel quieter on Xpert/ Xsport. I haven’t heard many good things about the SSA which is why I stayed with the X-pole brand. HOWEVER, when I was researching I really wanted the R-pole. It seems lighter to transport and the quickest to set up. That Xstage is heavy; I’m only 120 lbs. and it takes about 3-4 trips to get it from my apt to the car. I think the stage is about 80 lbs. The R-pole was just really expensive in USD vs GBP and with shipping it wasn’t feasible. Also, it looks hard to pole in with heels on. Hope that helps some…I know it won’t help much
Just my opinion.
