If you are going to spend the money get the one with both static and spin… I did not try spin until a year in and I soooo wish I had done it sooner… I feel like I have to relearn it all on spin now 🙁 Both are important but I would rather pay the small increase and have the option to try spin at any time than to be stuck without it and let me tell you… when you want to start spin… you will not want to wait!!!

Glad to know I am not the only one I was beginning to think my hips are just hopeless!!! Good thread!!!

Agree with all the above comments I will say though that I am the closest to my high school weight and strength than I have ever been before do to pole… I was doing cardio kick boxing and zumba and both did not get the results that pole did… maybe it has to do with the fact that I am obsessed and therefore more consistent, however if you love it go for it!

This is a good post as it has taken over a year for me and my family to kind of figure out how pole will find it's place in this busy life of ours… I wouldn't worry about your kids, I am sure they will be taught the many differences between pole and strip (I don't judge and have friends that strip) but if you concern lies there I would not worry. My son is 3 and he just LOVES to pole with me and at first my husband and I were concerned but I think that it is a legit sport and as long as you are comfortable with it that is all that should matter.

It’s really hard seeing others progress especially when I am doing all I can to commit and work and feel like it doesn’t pay off… Makes me wonder if I’m doing something wrong or is it just going to take more time I’m told it will just take time so trying to stay positive and just keep holding on to what I know!

I feel your pain… Grace is so not my thing but when I look at videos of me a year ago I do notice some improvement so I think it is just another thing that comes with time… just for the non graceful like us maybe more time 🙁

This is a great thread… I am a car sales manager… needless to say having an addiction to pole while working in a "man's world" has been a roller coaster of it's own especially with bruises you can't always hide… I have been a manager in fast food and retail for about 10 years now…. Would LOVE to own my own studio and share what pole really is to the world someday… until then I will share via social media and performances!

Awesome! I have been doing protein for a month or two and totally agree… I recover way faster!!! I try to only do the same move at the soonest every other day… I just feel like I am not gaining any strength anymore 🙁 I feel like there must be something I am missing but I also know I am really hard on myself and do not understand patience. I just can't tell if it is patience or me doing something wrong at this point…

There are a lot of excellent suggestions here!!! I used to teach beginners and it can be so frustrating when others are getting it and you feel you are not…. It is sooo important that you are having fun! Enjoy your pole and the flow you get in your body… who cares if it isn't perfect or you don't get it right away… It takes so much time to be pro status!!! I like the suggestion of dancing every time… I feel like such a dork when I dance but it can be liberating as well… but if you don't have fun you wont do it regardless of the workout so make it FUN!
