Pole Dancing Blog - Tips, Guides & Insights from Altitude

If you're someone that is determined to be mobile and independent in your 70s / 80s / 90s but not currently doing any form of exercise.. then you might wanna read this! 🙊

Let’s talk about something that deserves way more hype: getting STRONG! Not smaller. Not lighter. Just Stronger. Because the truth is, if we don't use it, we lose it. And if we put in the work now, our future selves will thank us for it! 💪

If you have ever walked into the gym, hopped on the treadmill and just thought “I can’t wait for this to be over”, trust me, you are not alone. We all know regular physical activity is an important part of any healthy lifestyle. There are loads of benefits to being active! You’ll sleep better, have more energy, feel less stressed, improve things like heart health and mental health. Being fit is REALLY great… but it’s often at the expense of enjoyment, fun, excitement.

Can you believe it? We’re already two weeks into 2025! The build-up to the new year is always an exciting (and a little chaotic) time with new goals, but let’s be real... that post holiday reality can hit and those new plans for the year might leave you wondering where to even start. 🙈

It’s actually one of my absolute favourite things about pole, how you are in classes and how you express yourself during them is uniquely yours. Everyone’s journey is different and at Altitude we celebrate any way that might look. 💘

When you think of a workout, what comes to mind? Maybe it's the treadmill, lifting weights, or a yoga mat. But what if we told you there’s a workout that’s not only incredibly effective but also so much fun that you’ll actually look forward to every session? Welcome to the world of pole dancing...

Starting something new can be intimidating, especially if you're coming in as a total beginner, so we've put together our top tips on how to break free of boredom and embrace trying something new!

Remember when you were a kid and you thought superheroes were the only ones with superhuman strength? 🦸‍♀️ Well, what if I told you that there’s a way to unlock your own inner superhero - and you don’t need a cape to do it? Enter pole dancing. It's fun, it's fierce and it's an awesome and empowering way to build strength you might have thought impossible.

Confidence isn't just something you order online and have delivered overnight; it's more like a journey full of plot twists, awkward dance moves, and occasional pep talks in the mirror. And if there's one place where this journey gets a whole lot sassier, it's during a class at Altitude pole.

Looking to fine tune your fitness routine? We believe that pole dancing is an excellent way to build strength, increase confidence, and have fun doing it!
