Stop Bruising & Chaffing:
Bruising and chaffing is general caused by lack of body strength. The arms are not strong enough to support the bodies weigh so the legs over compensate by gripping on to the pole too tightly, alternatively the hands grip the pole too tightly allowing the lower body to spin but the lead hand to stop, this will result in chaffing of the wrists and arms. As your strength and technique begins to improve your bruising and chaffing becomes less and less. For wrists and arms we recommend placing sweat bands on the offending areas, for knees and legs, you should buy dance knee pad or use rolled over leg warmer and for feet you should try jazz shoes or yoga trainers.
 

How Many are in the class:
We do not have more than 15 people in the class unless there are more than one instructor or more poles. We have a minimum of 5 poles so we never have more than 3 to a pole. In most cases it less. You will get ample time on the pole.

 

Clean my pole:
If your pole is removable you need to take it down every few weeks and take it apart so the joins to not get stuck together. Clean the pole with soapy water and dry well. You can also use a damp chamois leather on a daily basis to take off the body oils. Make sure your pole is always kept in a dry environment to avoid any corrosion.

 

Stop myself from slipping:
You need to have clean dry hands at all time when on the pole. In some cases people suffer from hyper hydration, this is when the palms of the hands become very sweaty. Unfortunately there is nothing on the market to stop this, how ever there are lots of products to minimise this, there is no product that suits everyone, you need to try some out to see which suits you the best. You can purchase our grip sack here you can also buy online, climbing chalk, Mighty grip, Sure grip, True grip, Tight Grip and many more. You can also purchase a Titanium X-Pole to help with grip issues.

Why doesn't ... ?
 

The videos work
There can be a number of reasons:
- You are using a MAC computer, our system is not compatible to Mac's so we do not recommend that you purchase online lessons or the online instructor course if you have either of these.
- You have dial up or slow broadband connection. Our Videos can not be viewed on either so we do not recommend that you purchase online lessons or the online instructor course if you have these. The videos will play for a short time and stop and start. Please check your speed by doing a PING test as we can not give you a refund once passwords have been issued and you have logged on to the system.

My forum account work

You need to follow the instructions in your account in order to put the link on your website. this must be performed correctly or your sales will not be recorded and you will not be given your percentage.

My Password work
There can be a number of reasons.
Are you typing it in correctly - the best thing to do is to cut and paste it
Are you being case sensitive - what we mean is are you typing it using lower and upper case where needed?
Have you changed some thing on your account and need to be reactivated?

Some times your computer stores passwords and if you have typed them incorrectly it will not allow you to log on, so you need to clear the memory.
If all else fails to the login section and click on forgotten password and it will send you another one. Please also check that you have given us the correct email, as the system will only send out a password to the email address we have.
