    I’m 46 – March will be my 2nd pole-versary. I also have multiple sclerosis (so my memory & coordination are both shit) and when I started I hadn’t done any structured exercise for a LONG time. In fact, one of the reasons I thought pole would be good was that holding onto the pole would stop me from falling over, so since you have a good grounding in strength training you’re already starting way ahead of where I was!

    Keep at it! I’m also weakest in my class. I started 6 months ago, in class I’m on my 4th go round of level 1. Will I ever get to level 2? Maybe next year!
    There’s some excellent advice in the replies above, which I’ll also be making note of. I’m 45 & have multiple sclerosis, and I so I’m ok with making my own slow progress.
    I can see I’m slowly starting to get definition to my quads, lats, triceps, biceps. I’m a Myotherapist so I think I’m probably a bit more able to recognise these small improvements, and I bet you’ve improve more than you realise.
    Keep going along at your own pace.
