    The best answer I can give you is to call XPole and ask if this company is legit.

    You can try keeping one leg straight and bending one in the mean time. Typically you would keep the inside leg tucked.

    And a “swooping” leg can look pretty. Alethea does it all the time!

  • Webjunk, I was not saying that with the galvanized you could not use that stud finder, I was explaining that type is not always going to work if you don’t have any metal in your ceiling. In wood construction it works by finding the nails.

  • Last thoughts, if you are on the ground floor and there are floors above you the same concept holds true, if it is not strong enough to hold a pole in place there is no way it would be strong enough to bear weight on a floor above you (refrigerator anyone??)

    Typically you can look at a ceiling and see where the seams are. That is where you should start looking first for studs. Any regular stud finder is going to work as it is basically like a little depth finder….different densities is what makes it go off (in essence and simple terms). Magnetic stud finders only find screws or nails that are used to hold the sheetrock in place. If you have a magnetic stud finder but don’t have a sheetrock style ceiling, or any other ceiling that is fastened in place using metal, you will not get readings as it is just a magnet.

  • First, aluminum is not magnetic so this stud finder would not work. Second, aluminum is expensive and is not used for building, it is galvanized steel. Third, if your handyman does not know the difference you need a new handy man.

    But I also would not expect you to have a bachelorette party doing yoga or kick boxbg either. THIS is where the majority of drinking is happening…..at PARTIES.

    As a side note, that waiver is amusing. How many people take cough medicine or allergy medicine or any med that makes them drowsy or hyped (Red Bull anyone?) and go to class. I would think she did that as a cya move as I don’t think she could enforce it.

    It really depends on the manufacturer.

    April 29, 2014 at 8:29 pm in reply to: are there any start-from-scratch polers?

    I started 1 month before my 39th birthday. The only thing I ever did was be a cheerleader when I was in 8th grade. I used to roller skate a ton when I was a kid, but I never did any dance or gymnastics or anything like that. I took up Zumba about a year after starting pole and I have taken some parkour, gymnastics, yoga, booty, and aerial classes since I started. Here I am 6+ years later and still at it. I am still not super flexible, there are a ton of things that I cannot or will not do but I am still at it and still love it.

    In most instances it is an insurance issue as none of the companies that insure you for pole will insure you if you allow alcohol + pole. That said, I have been to several pole events where alcohol was either served (think competitions) or able to be brought in.

    There is a studio in Ohio that is attached to a bar. This one I have yet to understand!

    I have a pair of beater shoes, also known as trainers. I use them to get used to poling in heels and don’t care if they get ruined, hence the term beater.

    Save your money and buy one pole instead of 2. If you are in the US there is X, PS, Poledanzer and Lil Mynx. If you do not purchase in of those to start you will end up purchasing one of those. Period.

    There is no such thing as a cheap safe pole.

    I am sorry, but I have to laugh. Especially since PS was on here talking about how they greatly improved it since Vegas last year.

    This is another thread on them. https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/52e2f1db-50fc-46b3-92de-32490a9aa0eb

    An unsafe one??

    It reminds me of a Carmen Electra but to the best of my knowledge those did not come in brass.

    All of the extensions fit the XSL. You just need to be sure you order the right diameter.
