How to introduce yourself to a new pole fitness class; new instructors

As a new instructor for a pole fitness class, it's important to create a safe and welcoming environment. 

Here's a general outline of what you can say at the beginning of your class:

1. Introduction: Start by introducing yourself and sharing your qualifications and experience in pole fitness. - keep this brief and not too self-serving!!

2. Welcome and Icebreaker: Greet the participants with a warm welcome and perhaps a brief icebreaker to help everyone get to know each other.

3. Studio and Venue Guidelines:

   a. Explain the layout of the studio and the location of emergency exits.

   b. Mention any specific rules or guidelines for the studio, such as the use of equipment and props.

   c. Address the importance of keeping personal belongings secure during the class.

   d. Request that participants turn off or silence their mobile phones to minimise distractions.

   e. Make sure everyone knows where the toilets and changing facilities are.

4. Health and Safety Guidelines:

   a. Emphasise the importance of warming up before starting any pole exercises to prevent injuries. - This can be done during the warmups too!

   b. Mention the availability of first aid supplies and the location of the first aid kit.

   c. At the beginning of the class, encourage participants to inform you of any injuries, medical conditions, or limitations they may have.

   d. Stress the importance of staying hydrated during the class and provide water breaks as needed.

   e. Discuss proper attire for the class, including the use of grip aids, if required.

   f. Explain that participants should perform exercises at their own pace and within their comfort zone to avoid injury.

   g. Remind participants to communicate any discomfort or pain during the class.

5. Demonstrate Exercises: Begin with a demonstration of basic pole fitness moves, emphasising correct form and technique.

6. Questions and Concerns: Open the floor for any questions or concerns from the participants regarding the guidelines or the class in general.

7. Have Fun: Encourage everyone to have fun, enjoy the class, and support each other throughout the session.

Remember to be approachable, empathetic, and attentive to your students' needs. It's important to create a safe and inclusive atmosphere where participants feel comfortable sharing their concerns and experiences.

Why is an effective warmup important before any pole fitness class ?

An effective warm-up before a pole fitness class that heavily involves the upper body is essential for several reasons:

 1. Injury Prevention: Warming up increases blood flow to muscles, making them more pliable and reducing the risk of strains and sprains. 

 2. Improved Performance: A proper warm-up can enhance muscle flexibility and joint mobility, which can lead to better performance during pole fitness exercises. 

 3. Enhanced Muscle Function: Warming up primes your muscles and nervous system, making them more responsive and efficient for the movements you perform. 

 4. Mental Preparation: A warm-up also helps mentally prepare you for the class, increasing focus and concentration. For a pole fitness warm-up targeting the upper body, consider including moves such as:

 1. Arm Circles: Forward and backward arm circles to increase shoulder joint mobility. 

 2. Shoulder Rolls: Gentle shoulder rolls to reduce tension in the upper back and shoulders. 

 3. Push-Ups: Modified or full push-ups using the pole to engage the chest and triceps. 

 4. Planks: Holding a plank position to engage core and upper body muscles. This can be done on the floor or diagonal planks using the pole. 

 5. Shoulder Stretches: Stretching the shoulders and chest to improve flexibility. 

 6. Wrist and Hand Stretches: Stretching the wrists and hands to prepare for gripping the pole. 

 7. Light Pole Spins: Performing slow and controlled spins on the pole to get used to the grip and motion.

 Your warmups can include the pole too. Always start with gentle movements and gradually increase intensity to avoid overexertion. Tailor your warm-up to the fitness level of the group and the specific activities you'll be doing in your pole fitness class. Make sure you have used all the muscles you intend to use in your class, which is pretty much all of the muscles of the body :))

Burlesque for Fitness - Burlesque Passion lessons

Hi Kay! Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the taster lesson last Wednesday. You have a really nice approach, and made it all far less painful than I thought it might be!!

You were terrific, all the other ladies seemed really nice, and the music and class content were wicked.

FREE Pole Fitness Apprentice schemes with Pole Passion

To gym members, managers and gym CEO’s who don’t quite appreciate or ‘get’ what pole fitness and dance is all about!
As leaders and pioneers in the Pole fitness Industry we are proud to organise and operate a teacher training apprentice scheme

Why do we have a pole instructor apprentice scheme?

The skills required to be the best pole instructor don't happen overnight for the majority, so we at Pole Passion are dedicated to share our wealth of national and international knowledge to those also passionate about supporting people in the pole fitness industry. Already coupled with our comprehensive REP’s Accredited, international teacher training programmes and exam and assessments we now have had in operation our apprentice scheme for over three years.

The reason why the apprentice scheme was set up by Kay Penney, the founder  and CEO of Pole Passion, was to support and educate the challenges that each instructor would face, socially and morally and it's a way of passing on this knowledge to make each person become the best they can be.
The scheme is predominately about providing opportunity for all and offering practical experiences in the class environment.  It’s about education and offering elite and professional training and support for free!

Who can apply?

We at Pole Passion, as founders of pole techniques feel we have an obligation to the industry as a whole. We only want the best to be leading pole techniques, focusing not only each participant who enters the world of pole, but equally on the health and safety elements, as paramount to those students and potential students we are introduced too, around the world.

Unfortunately there are, luckily, only a few, who aren't representing pole as we would like, so our scheme, which is available to all, is now running out as a national programme, with a view to running it internationally soon.



How does it work?

We have very simple guidelines and rules all accompanied by the Code of Pole Practice also written by Pole Passion in 2008  (add link)
We will issue you a training manual, uniform and set of guidelines and an instructor who, weekly will work closely with you, supporting your strengths and weaknesses.
You will be working towards the REP’s accredited teacher training two and a half day courses offering hands on experience and training every other week to the classes.

How much will it cost me?

This scheme is FREE to the right person – you will need to show commitment in your time and ability but your comprehensive training manual and uniform are given to you for free

How do I find out more?

If you would like to be considered as a Pole Passion trainer and or a Pole Passion teacher trainer apprentice and have been attending the Pole Passion pole classes for more than 12 consecutive weeks, then please contact us
