Did you know the Health and Safety at Work Act, places a legal obligation for you to be professionally qualified to teach Pole Fitness and is NOW a recognised sport and as such must be taught by professionally trained instructors. Gone are the days of learning from the internet and self taught untrained 'teachers'.
Would you consider teaching deep sea diving without adequate training? Of course not - the results would be catastrophic and may result in serious injury.
The same is now true of pole. The HSE regulations place a Duty of Care on you and anyone teaching the general public, to be qualified and if not you risk legal ramifications let alone potential loss of your insurance.
We highly recommend that you become qualified and accredited if you want to take pole teaching seriously. Many insurance companies are now withdrawing their policies to those who have no formal qualifications and in some cases leaving some pole fitness instructors more vulnerable than ever before!
At Pole Passion, as accredited training providers, we are passionate about delivering safe and effective training courses and have done since 2008. We are proud now to announce that insurance companes are also recommending our training courses too.
Level 1 Pole Fitness Instructor Training is the first step and most important step

The term “professional” is used in a qualitative context in this Code and does not necessarily imply a paid position or person.
Exercise and dance professionals who assent to the Code accept their responsibility to people who participate in exercise & dance, to other fitness professionals and colleagues, to their respective fitness and dance associations, professional bodies and institutes, to their employer, and to society. Pole exercise and fitness professionals must abide by the four principles of the code which are:
1 Professional Standards

2 Relationships
To develop a relationship with their customers, based on integrity, openness, honesty, mutual trust and respect.
3 Personal Responsibilities
To demonstrate professional decorum in decent manner not likely to offend and to demonstrate a high degree of professional personal behavior and conduct at all times, and be fair, honest and considerate to all participants and associates at all times. To promote participant’s well being and health, in and out of the lesson structure.
4 Rights
To promote and respect the rights, dignity and worth of every student and instructor.
INTRODUCTION
The Register of all Pole Professionals is a rigorous system of self-regulation for all instructors, coaches, trainers and teachers globally who are involved in supervising people who exercise and partake of physical activity programs on and around the pole of any description. The Register has created a framework within individual instructors so they can achieve the highest standards of professionalism linked to best practice in the health & safety sector within the dance, fitness and exercise industry in relation to pole movements and techniques. The Register was formulated in 2007 by Pole Passion Ltd to continually support those professionals who demonstrate a professional yet fun approach to Pole dance and exercise.
Registration is achieved and maintained through the gaining of qualifications and training, which are nationally and internationally recognized and linked nationally to National Occupational Standards for the pole fitness industry. Membership signifies that a pole exercise professional meets the required standards of good practice, and professionals who join the register will need to:
• Have gained a recognized and approved certification or qualification
• Demonstrate leadership and competence in their working environment
• Be committed to their own (ongoing) professional development in fitness
• Hold current CPR and first aid certificates Have public liability insurance that meet the minimum requirements for registration
• Adhere to an industry accepted Code of Pole Practice approved by governing awarding body, Skills Active
In isolation, any one of these six points is of little value – but together they measure the suitability of individuals to be members of the pole dance and exercise community and members of the Register.
Any professional misconduct or avoidance of compliance with the terms of the membership of the Register will lead to the member being disqualified from the Register immediately.
This Code of Pole Practice defines what is best in good practice for the professionals in the pole industry by reflecting on the core values of rights, relationships, responsibilities and standards. The term “professional” is used in a qualitative context in this Code and does not necessarily imply a paid position or person. Pole exercise and dance professionals who assent to this Code accept their responsibility to: participate in pole exercise and dance; other fitness professionals and colleagues; their respective fitness associations, professional bodies and institutes; their employer; and society.
BACKGROUND
It is important to establish, publicize and maintain standards of ethical behavior in the pole fitness instructing practice, and to inform and protect members of the public and customers using the professional services of those individuals who have demonstrated excellent commitment and standards with regards to exercise on and around a pole.
Physical activity dance and exercise can contribute positively to the development of individuals. It is a vehicle for physical, mental, personal, social and emotional development. Such development is enhanced if the individual is guided by an informed, caring and enlightened pole fitness professional operating within an accepted ethical framework as a self-monitoring professional.
The Mission Statement of the Register of the pole professional is:
“To ensure that all pole dance and fitness professionals are exceptionally knowledgeable and informed on up to date health and safety standards for all concerned, at all times.”
The roles of the pole dance and fitness professionals are to:
• Identify and meet the needs of individuals.
• Empower individuals during every session.
• Improve confidence, by creating a safe and comfortable environment to encourage and develop individual performance and fitness levels through programs of safe, effective and fun exercise.
• Create an environment in which individuals are supported and motivated to maintain participation and improve performance or fitness.
• Conform to ethical standards in a number of areas – humanity, relationships, co-operation, integrity, advertising, confidentiality and personal and professional standards.
PRINCIPLE 1 – RIGHTS
Pole dance and exercise professionals will:
• Promote the rights of every individual to participate in pole dance and exercise, where possible and recognize that people should be treated as individuals.
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every human being and their ultimate right to self-determination. Specifically, pole dance and exercise professionals must treat everyone equitably and sensitively within the context of their activity and ability – regardless of gender, age, disability, occupation, ethnic organ, color, cultural background, marital status, sexual orientation, religion or political opinion.
• Not condone or allow to go unchallenged any form of discrimination, nor publicly criticize or engage in demeaning descriptions of others.
• Be discreet in any conversations and not impart any personal information without consent.
• Recognize the right of all individuals to confer with other professionals.
PRINCIPLE 2 – RELATIONSHIPS
Pole dance and exercise professionals will:
• Develop a relationship with their customers based on openness, honesty, mutual trust and respect.
Inform participant(s) of their qualifications, experience, and Registration details and should provide the opportunity for the participant to consent or decline for training/instruction by that person and respect their opinions when making pole exercise decisions.
• Not engage in behavior that constitutes any form of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, bullying, etc).
• Not engage in behavior that constitutes any form degrading manner (touching the breast, groin or bottom area during their teachings).
• Always promote the welfare and best interests or their participants, and encourage and guide their customers to accept responsibility for their own behavior and actions in training and in their relationship with others.
• Ensure that physical contact is appropriate and necessary and is carried out within recommended guidelines and with the participant’s full consent and approval. Always ask before you touch a participant during instruction.
• Avoid sexual intimacy with clients whilst instructing, or immediately after a training session, and should arrange to transfer the client to another professional if it is clear an intimate relationship is developing.
• Take action if they have a concern about the behavior of an adult towards a child, or an adult towards another adult. Never engage in any form of sexually related contact with minors, including the use of innuendo, flirting or inappropriate gestures and terms.
• As a social obligation be extremely sensitive and cautious in the case of underage participants and always maintain that a consenting adult is present at all times during the instruction of a minor. Explain fully that it is not due to the content taught, rather as a social obligation.
Be aware of the physical needs of people, especially those still growing, and ensure that frequency, intensity, duration and type of training are appropriate.
• Discuss with parents, carers and other interested parties the potential impact of pole training programs offered to children, young adults or those with disabilities and/or impairments. Due to the sensitivity of pole dance and exercise we at present do not feel it is appropriate to teach children under the age of 16 (18 in some areas and venues) only as a social obligation rather than the content of the lessons.
• Clarify in advance with participants the number of sessions, fees (if any), method of payment and any other potential costs involved in participation.
• Communicate and co-operate with registered medical, clinical and ancillary practitioners in the diagnosis, treatment and management of participant’s medical, physical and mental problems.
• Not to work with any professional’s customer without first discussing or agreeing both with the professional and customer involved.
PRINCIPLE 3 – PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Pole dance and exercise professionals will:
• Demonstrate proper personal behavior and conduct at all times.
• Be fair, honest and considerate to all participants and others working in the pole dance and fitness industry, and to display control, respect, dignity and professionalism.
• Project an image of health, cleanliness and functional efficiency, and display high standards in use of language, manner, punctuality, preparation and presentation.
• Not smoke, drink alcohol or use recreational drugs before or whilst instructing, or to take actions which could compromise the safety of participants.
• Not adopt practices to accelerate performance or fitness improvements which might jeopardize the safety, total well being and future participation of their customer(s).
• Pole dance and exercise professionals must never advocate or condone the use of prohibited drugs or other banned performance enhancing substances.
• Ensure that the activities and training programs they advocate and direct are appropriate for the age, maturity, experience and ability of the participant(s).
• Advertise their services taking respect of their qualifications, training, knowledge and ability and must be accurate and professionally restrained. They must be able to present evidence of qualifications and registration upon request and be able to support any claim associated with the promotion of their services.
• Have valid public liability insurance to cover adequately and appropriately cover their legal liability in the event of any claim being made.
• Within the limits of their control, have a responsibility to ensure as far as possible the safety of the participants and the equipment used with whom they work.
PRINCIPLE 4 – PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
Pole dance and exercise professionals will:
• Work towards attaining a high level of competence through qualifications and make a commitment to ongoing training that ensures safe and correct pole practice which will maximize benefits and minimize risks to all participants.
• Promote the execution of safe and effective pole practice and plan all sessions so that they meet the needs of participants, and are progressive and appropriate.
• Welcome and share knowledge from other professionals.
• Need to accept responsibility for their actions and recognize when it is appropriate to refer to another healthcare professional or specialist.
• Seek to achieve the highest level of qualification(s) available and maintain up-to-date knowledge of technical developments in the pole dance and fitness industry.
• Engage in self-analysis and reflection to identify professional needs, and to develop a concept of lifelong learning and personal development on and off the pole.
• Not assume responsibility for any role for which they are not qualified.
• Confine themselves to practice those activities for which their training and competence is recognized by the Register.
• Training includes the accumulation of knowledge and skills through formal education, independent research and the accumulation of relevant, verifiable pole experience. The National Occupational Standards for coaching, teaching and instructing (and/or other appropriate fitness awards) provide the framework for assessing competence at different levels of register entry. Competence should normally be verified through evidence of qualifications and practice not inferred solely from evidence of prior experience.
• Welcome evaluation of their work by colleagues and be able to account to participants, employers, trade associations, professional bodies and the Register for what they do, and why.
• Have a responsibility to themselves and their participants to maintain their own effectiveness, resilience and abilities and need to manage their lifestyle to avoid overtraining.

Benefits of Pole Fitness
The Benefits of Pole Dance Fitness with Pole Passion
At the mention of pole dancing, the image that comes to mind is not always one of fitness for some people, but the fact is that pole dancing is now a mainstream form of fitness with gyms around the world now accepting this physical form of fitness and dance because it offers an all over workout that is fun and more appealing than the usual workouts and suitable for all women regardless of age, shape or fitness level as instruction and moves are adapted to suit everyone. The important thing is that you just have fun!
Pole dance fitness mixes gymnastics, ballet, modern dance and offers an all over body workout improving muscle tone, burning calories and leaving you feeling empowered, fit and more sexy.
During the classes you need to be able to complete the warm up session, grip the pole effectively and safely, have freedom of movement and feel good, so you need to ensure you are wearing the correct clothing and follow some very simple guide lines. No oils or moisturisers must be used on the body prior to all lessons as a health and safety element, as bare legs are essential for safety reasons, if you want to grip on to the pole (you will slip with tights or trousers on). The ideal outfit is a pair of short shorts, skirt or hot-pants (if you are feeling a bit more confident), and something comfortable, but not restrictive, on your top half (a T-shirt is ideal) and trainers for pole fitness.
Pole Passion, one of the first Pole Fitness schools worldwide, have pioneered Pole Fitness since 2003 and have created a National Pole Dance Competition ‘Miss Pole Dance’ (www.misspoledance-uk.com) which is linked with most Countries around the World and incorporating the first World Pole Dance Sport & Fitness Championships creating a World Champion and ambassador for the sport. (www.worldpoledance.com)
Pole Passion also offer accredited and recognised Pole Dance Fitness Instructor Training Courses, approved by Skills Active and registered with the Register of Exercise Professional (REP’s) and this ensures all our instructors are fully qualified to teach Pole Fitness safely, ethically and effectively and further have gained approval from registered Osteopaths that the instruction is safe and beneficial.
Effective and safe teaching is very important and so is the equipment used to teach pole fitness on. Most dance poles require a ceiling fixings which creates problems for most health clubs with the alternative being a stage or podium pole which could be too high, unsafe, very heavy for instructors to assemble and move and completely unsuitable for a health club, so Pole Passion along with Brighton University spent 3 years developing their very own portable dance pole (the R Pole) which is designed to recognised safety standards for free standing fitness equipment and is completely flat to the floor (no platform or stage) allowing floor work and stretching and comes with a safety mat, complying with manual handling regulations too. (www.r-polefitness.com)
