Too bad there wasn’t a place that had climate rooms with all the poles to try to see.. Everyone is so unique. Aye jay.. I have a 45mil platinum stages stainless..a 50 ill mynx coated and a 50 mil ill mynx stainless.. I’ve used my friends xpoleus stainless and that was super slippery for me..the lilmynx stainless is 2nd in the slip factor, and my PS is 3rd on the slip factor.. Sometimes my ill mynx has so much grip it will rip my skin off. I can’t even climb brass for some reason..so so slippery for me.

My point..I live near San Diego..you can try mine if u want..

Try stainless…also try pole physics lotion at night and right before you pole..that help the dry skin..and dry hands for your hands..I also put a little on the pole if I am having problems with sliding

I own a pilates and aerial fitness studio…students should never be allowed to instruct other students..period. The instructor of the class should be telling all the students to please wait for her assistance. It also sounds like you belong in a more advanced class. It sounds like you are not really being challenged enough.

I had one on my wrist for a bit…it’s from trauma to the area…leave it alone and It will probably go down. You can ice it a little to reduce the swelling. It’s your bodies ways of saying slow down..

I also ended up with a very large cyst behind my knee that I had drained a couple of times, but eventually needed to removed. It was a big surgery with pt afterword and a recovery time as if the had actually done knee surgery.. Avoid surgery if you can…it is never as simple as you think it will be.

Tk Chem…I will work on it more tomorrow

Makes sense..practiced a little..seemed a little better…have to watch the vid to see if it looks any better..sometimes I’m like …”that was so cool” and then watch the vid and say “I’m such a dork”

I have grip issues from dry skin and was considering a brass pole… PS sales rep made a good point….you can always add a grip ad if you need it, but you can’t take it away. I only use my powder coated pole for newbie students….and they eventually always prefer the stainless.. Xpoleus 40 only comes in limited finishes up to 11feet.. I’m pretty sure. Lilmynx does come up and down quickly and I have never felt it was unsafe…but I do regularly check all my poles.

Bend the torso away from the pole? Or wrap it around more? I agree…too much pressure on outer shin the way I am doing now

I have a ?…I have probs with the short version too…but it’s the outside of the lower leg that hurts on me…it is slightly less if I Doris flex my foot…which looks horrible. Any suggestions?

If you have a confirmed rib fracture the bones take about 6 weeks to mend….IF…a big IF you do not interfer with the mending process. Do as little as posssible to make sure that they heal the fastest..but you cannot spead up the process of how the body rebuilds and repairs the bones. You certainly can slow it way down…walking, rolling over in bed, breathing too deeply can interfer with that process…Especially in the beginning. You start back at a big 0 if you mess up the aliginment. Chill out for 1 month…then be very careful for another month. Start back on the pole in 2 months. That's if you dont mess them up in that time.

You should visit some studios in your area to see what they do and what they charge. Congrats on your new venture. If your ceilings are too high you are going to compromise the safety of students if you get poles that have too many pieces.

I contacted the guy from Pole Sleeves and he said that they are made from a rubber latex material. So…if you allergic to latex that might be a problem. 

[pegasusaerialfitness]

This sounds great.

I broke two ribs with the allegra..I was off the pole for months……that snap is very bad. Ribs take forever to heal…I am very short waisted…some moves are not for everybody. You bones will never win when push comes to shove on the pole.. Remember.."you must bend around the pole," because the pole is going to stay just like it is.

i dont think there is a "perfect' pole….It will change with the weather. If you get a pole with too much grip..(you might love that as a beginner but not when you gt more advanced) it will rip your skin off. I think most of the polers out there end up getting more than 1 type of pole. I think the industry is moving away from the 2inch poles and going a little smaller. 

So…I would recommend going with a good company..you will love it and hate it sometimes. Xpole, lilminx, and PS…are all good company's. (I'm sure there are more….but I dont know anything about those.) Since you do not like the TG…dont get that one. I personally Love my 45 PS the best…but I think I have heard great stuff about Xpole Chrome. Lil minx Coated poles are verys easy to get up and down and have a tone off grip…My beginners love them…and when my skin is ubber dry I can still pole on my coated. 

To wind it up…..there is a reason that almost every poler has a mix off products in their pole bag… Dry hands, Itac, ., cramers, corn huskers, pole cleaner…..on and on.
