No. This course is designed for absolute beginners.

No — you don’t need to be fit or strong before you begin.
Pole is what makes you fit and strong.

You’ll need a spinning pole that is safely installed in your home.
Any reputable brand — such as X-Pole or Lupit — is suitable, as long as it locks into spin mode (not just static).
If you’re new to home poles, look for:

• a secure tension-mounted or ceiling-mounted setup
• 40–45mm diameter (either is fine)
• chrome, powder coated, stainless steel, brass finishes are all good. You can use silicone, but you will need clothing that protects your skin.

As long as your pole spins smoothly and is installed correctly, you’ll be able to follow every lesson in this course.

No — absolutely not.
Pole can be learned at any age, and many women begin in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
What matters most is starting where you are, building strength gradually, and learning correct technique from the beginning.

The essentials are a spinning pole and some grip aid.
Knee pads can be helpful for comfort, and a yoga mat is useful for your warm-up and cool-down.
That’s all you need to get started.
