Common Beginner Worries
Maybe you're wondering...
Is Pole Fitness good for beginners?
Do I need upper body strength?
Do I have to wear heels?
Is Pole Fitness a good workout?
Is Pole Fitness only for women?
Absolutely! Our beginner classes are specifically designed for students with no previous experience.
No. You'll develop strength naturally as you train.
Not at all! Most beginner classes are barefoot. Heels are only used in specific classes designed for heel technique and choreography.
Definitely! Pole develops upper body strength, core stability, grip strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, coordination, and body awareness—all while keeping every class fun and engaging.
Absolutely not! Pole Fitness is for everyone. Students of all genders, backgrounds, ages, and fitness levels are welcome at Altitude.
Did You Know?
Pole Fitness develops one of the highest strength-to-bodyweight ratios of almost any recreational activity while simultaneously improving flexibility, coordination, grip strength, balance, endurance, and confidence.
No wonder so many students find themselves smiling through workouts they never imagined they'd enjoy.
At Altitude, Pole Fitness is about far more than tricks.
Whether your goals include fitness, artistry, competition, performance, confidence, or simply finding a workout you genuinely love, our instructors are here to help you every step of the way. No judgment. No pressure. Just progress.
Altitude Insider Tip #1
Wear the shorts.
Seriously.
It might feel strange at first, but exposed skin is what helps you grip the pole safely. Trust us—you'll understand after about five minutes.
