Your First Ever Pole Class at Ada Pole Studios: What to Expect & How to Prepare

Thinking of joining your first-ever pole class at Ada Pole Studios? First of all—welcome! Whether you’re here to build strength, boost your confidence, or just try something completely new, we’re so excited to have you. It’s totally normal to feel a bit nervous before your first class—but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s everything you need to know before stepping into the studio for the first time:

🕒 Arrive a Little Early

Give yourself a few extra minutes before class starts. This gives you time to settle in, meet your instructor, ask any questions, and shake off those first-class jitters. Plus, it helps the class start on time so you can make the most of every minute on the pole!

👕 What to Wear: Shorts Are Your Best Friend

While you might be tempted to cover up, grip is key when it comes to pole tricks. Skin contact helps you stick to the pole, so shorts are essential, even if you just start with basic movements. A comfortable top and bare feet or grippy socks are perfect.

😅 Feeling Nervous? You’re Not Alone

Seriously—everyone feels a little nervous the first time. It’s a new space, a new skill, and a whole new kind of movement. But here’s the best part: you’ll be surrounded by other beginners who are in the same boat. It’s a super supportive and welcoming vibe here, and no one is judging—just cheering you on!

🌟 You’ll Have an Amazing Instructor

Your instructor is there to guide you, encourage you, and make sure you’re safe and supported. They’ll break everything down step-by-step, offer modifications if needed, and celebrate every little win with you. You're in great hands.

🌀 Yes, the Poles Spin!

Our poles can spin—and it’s totally normal to be surprised by that your first time! Don’t worry, your instructor will explain how it all works and help you feel comfortable and in control.

💧 Stay Hydrated

Pole is a full-body workout and you’ll definitely work up a sweat. Bring a water bottle and take sips whenever you need. Trust us—your muscles will thank you.

💍 Remove All Jewellery

Before class, make sure to remove any rings, bracelets, or watches. Jewellery can damage the poles and might get in the way during tricks. Plus, you don’t want anything slipping off mid-spin!

🎉 Most Importantly… Have Fun!

Pole is about celebrating what your body can do, not what it looks like. There’s no pressure to get everything perfect on day one. Laugh, cheer for your classmates, and enjoy the experience. You might be surprised at what you’re capable of—even in just your first class!
