Just knock on the ceiling it will go from hollow sounding to solid when you find the joist. 😊

I’m sorry to hear about you having to leave pole, bit that’s exciting your taking up piano 💜

Turns not returns of resistance

That would be waaaaay too tight. Tighten till you feel a few returns of resistance then push and pull on the pole. Try the spin mode and if its spins well your good, if it’s slow and clunky it’s too tight.

I found the instructional video for steaming https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/50ccac91-674c-4915-8e13-3b120ac37250

Sounds like you’ve over tightened the pole.

Welcome to the website!! Oh, that sounds so frustrating! Chrome is one of those finishes that seems to be problematic for sweaty hand people. Avoid getting itac or anything that is sticky/waxy on your pole, those are more for people with dry hands. Dry hands is a good option, but you’ve tried that….Some people find mighty grip works. I’m not sure of any new grid aids for sweaty hands though.
To get all the stuff off the pole use a steamer! It will remove all the old grip aids and might help, at least for a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjeYnLLaBw&t=15s

You have to find the beam, it can damage the ceiling if you don’t and it’s not safe. Use a stud finder or knock on the ceiling to find the beams and direction they run. If you find the beam you don’t need anything to protect the ceiling. I have rented for years and never had a problem with my xpoles damaging the ceiling.

I have a pair of their other leggings not the superhero. They are not super grippy on any finish, but I was under the impression that was intentional. I thought that the superhero were suppose to be far more grippy though, so that’s frustrating to hear!! Superfly are real grippy but they don’t fit me well 🙁

Hi welcome!!! We have rented many places for years and I even drill into walls and beams without issue. It’s easy to fill the holes needed for a pole mount. However, if you don’t want to drill and the beams are not fake you can just put an xpole there. You would center it on the beam using the dome it comes with. I like to use the mounts tho. Unless the issue with the beam is that the ceiling is super high? Not sure what your situation is. Anyway, if you can go with a pole, I have stages too and I just don’t care for the hard base with limited space.
Maybe you could try some chair work I have here until you have a pole?
Anyway, welcome!

Buy the pole you can afford, as long as it’s not a toy pole. Xpole, platinum stages and lupit are all good poles. Beginners can learn on static and spinning pole, I teach both. So if you plan on using the lessons here you will have the ability to learn either. I personally love brass and teach newbies on it as well. So it’s really a matter of what you like. With all the different grip aids out there you will be able to find something to help if you find the finish you have is slick. If you have naturally sweaty hands avoid chrome. Not sure if this FB link will work but here’s a video I made talking about poles.https://www.facebook.com/studioveena/videos/10154144361229442/
Don’t wait until you get a pole to start conditioning! There are tons you can do right now.
