Make your instructor aware of any injuries/personal health issues you may have prior to any sessions you undertake with us. You should however consult your doctor concerning any health issues prior to attending any of our classes.

​

- Bring a bottle of water to your class to ensure you stay hydrated throughout the session.

- Ensure you have had plenty to drink and you have had something to eat before any session to avoid feeling faint. We would recommend a snack/light meal up to a couple of hours before your session. Try to avoid eating a heavy meal just before you come in as you may end up feeling sick during your session.

​

- Wear comfortable clothes during warm up and cool down.

- Bring a pair of comfortable shorts for the main pole session, this is essential as your skin will prevent you from slipping off the pole.

- We recommend barefoot during our classes to begin with.

- Wear a comfortable top / sports bra / pole wear that you can move easily in.

- Bring a small towel with you - you will find this handy to wipe the poles down and to dry your hands throughout the session.

- No jewellery or watches should be worn during classes, as they may scratch the poles, damage your jewellery and you could also injure yourself.

​

Please be aware that you should NOT use any oils or lotions on your skin on the day of your class as this will cause you to slip off the pole.

​

Everyone may experience some kind of bruise or burn during their Pole classes as it involves a lot of skin contact with the pole. You can try to prevent them by wearing wrist bands and by wearing a hoodie or jumper that can be put on and taken off when needed.

​

We always ensure our poles are thoroughly cleaned after each session and we would really appreciate your help with maintaining this level of cleanliness by asking that you clean the poles you have used after each class or practise session you attend. This is a consideration to other clients and instructors at Pole Place.
