POLEPLACE
Start training

Start here · for first-timers

Never touched a pole? You're in the right place.

Everyone here started exactly where you are. This page tells you what you need, how it works and where to begin.

The three big worries

01 · Strength

Strong enough?
You will be.

Our beginner classes are built for people with no pole experience. Strength comes with training, not before it.

02 · Flexibility

The splits?
Not required.

Flexibility is something you train on POLEPLACE. It's not an entry ticket.

03 · Pressure

Being watched?
Nobody is.

Train in your living room, at your pace, without studio pressure. Repeat a class as often as you like.

What you actually need

A pole, some space and a screen.

  • 01A pole installed at home. Set it up following the manufacturer's guide. We train on Lupit Pole: code POLEPLACE10 saves you 10%. Get the code
  • 02Enough free space around the pole to move safely.
  • 03A screen: laptop, TV, tablet or phone. Videos can be downloaded in the app.

Am I ready?

Step 1 of 2

Two questions, and we'll tell you exactly where to start.
