Can anyone do pole fitness?
Yes, there is no limit or pre-requisite for pole fitness. Pole exercise is extremely physical and uses muscles that you will not have used before and therefore if you are not warmed up; muscle damage, strains and injury can occur. Before using a pole it is mandatory to warm up and, after use, cool down. It is highly recommended that before you use your pole you purchase a suitable DVD to learn the basic moves or attend pole fitness classes. Never try moves beyond your ability without an instructor. If at any time whilst using your pole you feel uncomfortable, your muscles hurt, or you are short of breath – take a break. Always rest between moves & exercise sensibly, if you experience any health issues, seek medical advice. But if you have any concerns, please contact your doctor.

While the X-STAGE pole can not be made taller, it can be made shorter by using an NE extension.
To work out which extension you will require, follow this formula:

e.g. 2500mm – 1500mm – 135mm = 875mm (round down to 750mm)

What kind of ceiling can I use an X-POLE on?
X-POLE pressure mounted poles can be installed in rooms with solid ceilings, or ceilings that have a joist or girder above them. Pressure mounted poles use pressure between the floor and ceiling to keep them stable. There is a possibility that damage could be caused to the ceiling.
What is an X-JOINT?
What’s the difference between each pole finish?
Chrome – The industry standard finish and a good all-rounder for all levels of skill/experience. High grade steel poles are coated in Chrome and polished to a high finish.
Stainless Steel – A great alternative to Chrome or Brass and very hard wearing. Stainless Steel poles are polished to a mirror finish. Also good for polers with nickel allergies and ideal for commercial environments (studios and gyms) with a lot of polers!
Brass – Great in hotter climates as the grip factor increases with the ambient temperature and the perfect choice for polers with nickel allergies.
Titanium Gold – Chrome poles are taken and electronically coated with the finish for an enhanced grip.
Powder Coat (Black, Pink & White) – Useful for people who struggle to grip standard metal poles. Very high grip factor! Steel poles are powder coated and baked to seal the finish. Available in black, white and hot pink!
Silicone (Black & Pink) – The ultimate easy grip pole! Minimal skin to pole contact needed. Steel poles have a silicone sleeve attached to the surface of the pole. Available in 45mm pole diameter only.
Chrome – 40mm and 45mm – Steel core with Chrome coating applied
Stainless Steel – 40mm and 45mm – Highly polished Stainless Steel pole
Brass – 40mm and 45mm –Brass tube.
Titanium Gold – 40mm and 45mm – Steel core with Chrome coating that is then electronically treated to give the Gold finish with additional grip
Powder Coat (Black, White and Pink) – 40mm and 45mm – Steel core with a powder coat layer baked on
Silicone (Black and Pink) – 45mm – Steel core with a 5mm thick silicone sheath glued to the pole
How do I measure my floor to ceiling height?
How much space do I need to use my X-POLE safely?
Is the pole portable?
The SPORT, XPERT, XPERT Pro, X-STAGE and X-STAGE Lite are all portable poles.
Is the pole permanent?
All of our poles are completely removable and portable. With the pressure mounted system, you do not have to drill in to your ceiling or floor.
You may need a permanent fixture (mount) if your ceiling is above 12 feet or have slanted ceiling, but the pole is still easily removable.
For studio and gym use, we offer custom poles that can be portable or fixed. Please contact us for more info.
Will the pole leave marks on my ceiling?
Like the base, the ceiling dome has a soft, clear silicone ring around it. If this is kept clean and free from dirt/dust there is no reason it will mark a plasterboard or cement ceiling. We recommend wiping it down with baby wipes before installing to ensure it is clean and prevent transfer of dirt onto ceiling. If you have not cleaned the dome and it has transferred dirt onto the ceiling it can be cleaned off with sugar soap.
Will my pole damage my floor/ceiling?
The pole should leave no damage to a floor or ceiling, as long as it is used and maintained correctly! Please watch our installation video when your pole arrives, and the instruction manual has tips on how to maintain your pole.
X-POLE poles have a soft, clear silicone pad around the base. This gives excellent adhesion to virtually any surface and also stops any damage.
As with any pressure pole it is possible that marks may occur but these can be rubbed off.
Can I use my pole on carpet?
Using a pole on a carpet is fine, but remember that when you tighten the pole, the carpet will compress anywhere from 1/2-2 inches, so please be aware of this when measuring your ceiling and after initial set-up you may need to re-tighten.
What floors can X-POLE’s be used on?
X-POLE poles can be used on virtually any floor; wood, tile, carpet etc.
If there is any doubt, please call our technical support department on 0044(0)208 449 4400.
Care needs to be taken on wooden floors which flex to make sure the pole is fully compressed.
Can I use my pole on slanted ceilings?
If you have slanted, vaulted or cathedral style ceilings you can use our XPERT or XPERT Pro poles. This can be done by purchasing a vaulted ceiling mount.
Unfortunately, SPORT poles do not have this option.
