That means a lot, thank you! I can manage buying an X pole if I hold off another week or two, I just wanted to know if it was worth penny pinching or not. I had heard about other poles falling over or chipping and cutting people, I just wasn’t sure if the AW pole was going to be one of those. Your response really helped reassure me that x pole will be smarter to get now rather than the other options. I’m so excited to start!! I have gotten so board with my typical exercise routine, jumping from one program to another after I platou, my sister just started “polga” and I feel like pole fitness is definitely something I’d have fun with 🙂
