WHY POLE OR LYRA FOR FITNESS?

Pole and aerial fitness is a true full body workout, and is one of the best ways to reduce fat, build lean muscle, and get more flexible, all while having fun! Just take a look at the amazing physiques of our Dedicated Divas and instructors...pole and aerial fitness is a great way to achieve your fitness goals. Here are some of the fitness results you can expect to see after just 8 weeks at Pole & Aerial Divas!

Coordination & Balance

Pole & aerial fitness requires a lot of coordination and balance to control spins, pivots and lifts which will strengthen stabilising muscles throughout your body. Pole will have you walking in heels like a boss too!

ARMS, SHOULDERS & CHEST

Strengthen and tone your biceps, triceps and shoulders through lifts, hangs and spins. Many skills involve and push and pull motion which also works your chest muscles.

HIPS

Hip flexor strength is built quickly as you are lifting your legs to invert which engages your hip flexors, quads and core muscles.

Legs & Booty

Pole & Lyra involves working your legs intensively through grips, lifts and extensions and the dancing aspect involves squats, kicks and grinds and more! You may notice increased strength in your quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves, along with better leg control and more defined muscle tone.

MIND

Back

What’s The Difference?

Static Vs. Spin Pole

You may have noticed - some poles are static, while other poles spin. All of our poles can be adjusted between static and spin, depending on the class and your preference. Static poles are fixed and don't move, whereas spin poles pivot around themselves, providing a great 360 degree view of any trick! Spin pole requires a bit more strength and control to ensure the pole doesn’t spin too fast! If you’re brand new to pole dancing, try both static and spin to see what you like best! If you are unsure, haven’t done fitness for awhile, or get dizzy easily, static pole can be a good place to start.

What to wear

Here’s the low-down on clothes and shoes from Cherie, our Richmond studio manager!

What to wear for

Pole Class

We recommend a singlet or t-shirt and shorts. Bare skin helps you stick to the pole, so shorts are highly recommended. You have the option to take the class barefoot or wear heels. Heels aren’t required, but they’re great way to make your workout more fun and sexy! Feel free to bring a pair of heels from home, or you can purchase some from our studio shops.
