upright crucific? is that gripping the pole with your legs in a ‘standing’ position (like how you end up in a standing fireman) and then arms out to the side?

given that i’m an old broad (51) and have spent my whole life studying dance, i find i need a lot to keep in shape. currently it’s 3 dance classes plus 3 cardio classes a week, with a little bit of resistance training at home with free weights. i am only able to pole once a week right now, but that will change in the new year. have to say, even with just once a week, i notice more strenght in my abs, and my arms are also re-shaping nicely. and you know those fat bits right in front of the arm-pit? i am noticing that poling is firming those things (i call em chicken cutlets) too ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

and here’s another thing i always forget (and i bet i’m not alone) :
STRETCHING after you pole !!!! stretching does help lengthen the muscles. Maybe make sure you do opposing stretches for your biceps/triceps, etc. hold each stretch for at least 20 seconds, if not more. also make sure you keep breathing while you stretch.

Which is precisely why we want to open a studio — to offer a place where students can learn SAFELY and have a path to progressing if they choose. The instructor at the studio where we began was fine for a session or two at the beginner level, but as we learned more she could not even remember how to execute things, let alone teach them. Not what we want for our place !

charley, thank you SO MUCH for posting your criteria. my friend and i are looking to open a pole studio soon, and you pretty much wrote down everything i have been thinking about in terms of hiring instructors ! (god i hope we can find some)
we don’t plan to instruct, tho i do plan to get a gfi cert, and also will probably go for a beginner pole cert if i can find one, in the event i have to fill in, or something.
it’s really hard in our area, though — new england takes a while to catch on to things ! but thanks again!
