Thank you for purchasing an XPERT Pole. The team at X-POLE
have spent a significant amount of time researching, designing and
developing it.
We want this product to be the world’s leading Exercise and Dance
Pole, if it’s not; we want to understand why not! At X-POLE we thrive
on constructive criticism and suggestions! So contact us (details on
the back cover) if you have any comments or suggestions on how to
improve the product
Welcome
Mis-using a pole can be dangerous, not only to the user but also to anyone close to the pole. The use of a dance pole is
always at the user’s discretion, and it is the user’s responsibility to check the pole is installed correctly & safely before use.
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 the pole it is mandatory to warm up and, after
use, cool down.
It is highly recommended that before you use your XPERT Pole you review some online videos to learn the basic moves.
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.
Have fun with your X-POLE XPERT.
The X-POLE Team.
Before using your pole
Clothing
When it comes to clothing – less is best (unless you have purchased either a Powder Coat or Silicone Pole).
So try to keep your arms and legs uncovered. Pole work needs the friction created by skin contact, so
T-Shirts, Crop Tops & Shorts are best. However, you must feel comfortable so wear what you feel relaxed in
(tracksuit bottoms, etc.) even though this may mean you are unable to do some of the pole moves properly
because of grip.
Footwear
Again comfort is essential. Bare feet (recommended), dance shoes, or trainers can be used but trainers have
high friction, so a trainer with a smooth as possible sole is recommended.
Oils and Lotions
NEVER use oils and/or lotion on your hands or body prior to using your pole. This is very DANGEROUS. The
oil can transfer onto the pole making it slippery and impossible to hold and this could cause you or someone
using the pole after you to have a serious accident.
