You know you should exercise. But another gym session? Another treadmill? Another workout you have to convince yourself to do?
What if you actually looked forward to it?

Because why not you?
No, genuinely - why not?
If you’ve been bored out of your mind by gyms, running, or trying to “be disciplined” while you suffer through yet another meh workout… we get it.
There's a reason why we picked pole dancing, ourselves.
And unlike gyms, you’re not left wandering around pretending to stretch until a machine becomes free.
Are you ready to:
💗 Feel like the bad ass version of yourself you know is in there?
💗 Be the person who is proud of what your body can do!
💗 Have something in your week that you look forward to?
💗 Walk into a room standing a little taller, feeling a little cooler?
And every step of the way - we got'chu.💕
The gym and I just weren’t vibing. Pole felt like a chance to challenge myself in a fun, empowering way. I’m so glad I gave it a go.

I love the friends I’ve made at Altitude, and being a part of a community of such incredibly strong and amazing people.

I have grown as a person. I feel a lot more confident than I was before I started pole. I feel way more open minded to new experiences.

What's on our timetable.
Still got questions?
Curious but still have questions? Maybe these answer some of yours 😎
Do I need to be strong to start pole dancing?
You don't need to be strong to start pole. Everyone starts somewhere, you’ll build strength as you go.
Will there be other beginners in class with me?
Yes! Our beginner classes are full of people at the start of their journey. It might not be their very first class, but they'll still be learning foundation skills - just like you.
What if I can’t do the moves right away?
Completely normal, expected even. Most people don't nail moves in their first class. That's why we encourage attending more than one class to get a real feel.
Are the beginner classes actually beginner-friendly?
Yes - our Level 1 classes focus on foundation skills. They are designed to get you wins as fast as possible, though, so you'll start noticing a difference pretty quickly.
What if I feel like pole isn't for me?
If you've thought that - you're not alone. But there is no one type of person who does pole. It's just people showing up, giving it a go, and enjoying the journey.
What should I wear to classes?
Shorts and a t-shirt or singlet is perfect. If you’re not ready for shorts yet, leggings with shorts underneath works great too. Most people start that way.
