  • During your visit to the studio, it is a requirement that you do all that is reasonable to minimise the risk of harm to yourself and others. Ensure that you have read the rules below before engaging in any activity on the pole and the studio.

    Attending the studio

    Students are not permitted to attend the studio unless all payments and due fees are up to date.

    Team members reserve the right to refuse entry to any student they deem to be in breach of any studio rule. Leadership will support staff in their decision.

    We do have neighbours. If you are poling with us during the day, utilise street parking and pop a skirt or shorts over your booty shorts.

    Follow all reasonable directions given by studio team members.

    Each time you visit, check in to the studio using the iPad or the Addictive Pole Fitness app.

    If you are more than 5 minutes late for a series, drop-in or zoom class, you will not be able to attend the class. The late rule reduces injury opportunities, as the warm-up is almost over and disruptions it may cause to classes.

    Pop your bag in the allocated bag spot. Keep these off the studio floor where possible.

    Bring your towel- no towel, no train.

    Remove your rings before class; they can scratch and damage the pole and your rings.

    Always start your session by wiping down your pole with a towel and methylated spirits spray. Repeat this process at the end of your session – making sure to remove all chalk residue and other substances.

    Unless you are an APF instructor, you cannot teach anything to other students - you may be banned from the studio if caught.

    Place any items used back to their allocated spot. If you don't know where that is, please ask.

    Pick you your rubbish and place it in the bins around the studio.

    When attending the studio, nipples and genitalia are to be covered.

    Engagement in Activities

    Always warm up before your session.

    Please do not engage in dangerous activities beyond your limits.

    Do not engage in activity on the poles if you have been drinking alcohol or taking any medication/drugs that put your safety (or the safety of others) at risk.

    Please do not engage in activity or action within the studio that harms our business.

    Do not increase your risk of an incident by wearing products, such as moisturiser, fake tan, and some hair and makeup that come off onto the poles, making them slippery.

    Do not attempt any tricks in attire that is unsafe and suitable for that manoeuvre.

    When using the poles, be aware and mindful of those around you to avoid collisions.

    Only attempt moves that you have learned in class at Addictive Pole Fitness within your appropriate ability level. Unless discussed and approved by a team member.

    Spotting

    Always ensure that you have a 'spotter' if you are attempting a dangerous tricks that you have not yet safely and consistently 'mastered'.

    Suppose you are unsure whether the trick you are attempting is considered dangerous or whether you need a 'spotter'. In that case, you must first ask a team member (such as a receptionist, instructor or open practice supervisor) whether they think you need a 'spotter' for this trick.

    Suppose you have been doing a trick for a while and feel that you no longer need the 'spotter'. In that case, you must still check with a team member whether they agree that you can perform this move unassisted for the first time.

    Continually assess your risk before performing a trick, even if you are confident performing it. Strength and ability can fluctuate, and conditions (such as climatic variation and pole condition) can change. Your responsibility is to ensure you minimise the chances of an incident occurring because of your activity on the pole and the studio.

    A 'spotter' can be anyone in the studio if they understand the technical aspects of the trick being attempted and are physically capable of aiding you in and out of the trick safely if necessary. You must assess whether your spotter meets these requirements. Addictive Pole Fitness recommends that advanced students not rely on lower-level students for spotting unless they are sure that they meet the knowledge and capability requirements.

    Incidents

    If there is an incident, you are required to let a team member know. Even if you are in doubt if the incident is serious or not, you must advise a team member so that they can assess whether First Aid is required. An Incident Report might need to be completed.

    Our team are all First-Aid qualified. You must follow the directions of team members in case of an accident or incident that requires First Aid and follow all the instructions necessary for filling out an Incident Report.

    If you need to use the First Aid Kit, ensure a qualified person attends to your scenario.

    Advise a team member of any items removed from the First Aid box to purchase replacements.

    Be Respectful

    Our Students

    Our Students: "are unique and beautiful in their own way | Help to make our studio special by being their unique selves | Lift each other up and support each other in their own personal pole journey | Are inspirational, string and unstoppable."

    When your pole sister is down or struggling with a move, cheer louder for them. When they celebrate a win, celebrate with them. If they have a bad day, acknowledge and let them know you are there.

    Addictive Pole Fitness will not tolerate bullying, intimidation or negative talk or behaviours towards another member.

    Mobile Phones- Filming and taking photos of our progress is important and ENCOURAGED. Phones are allowed in class for these activities only. Please stay off phones while instructors are teaching and talking.

    Team Members

    Our instructors and team members love you! For most team members, it is their second job, and they love what they do. They spend countless hours thinking about new things to teach, new ways to make you hurt or amazing choreo. Please show respect to your instructors in class! Please:

    Be mindful of when they are demonstrating. Sometimes instructors can be upside down for a long time, trying to explain every element you need to achieve the trick. LISTEN. That is all they ask for your undivided attention at this time.

    Please pay attention to their recommendations and listen to their advice. If they are correcting your technique, there is a reason for it. They have trained for this. Trust in them.

    Don't compare them to one another. We love that our team is so diverse! They are never going to teach the same. They will bring their individual experiences to the class. Diversity is going to give you THE BEST experience. They are all unique, which makes the team here impressive.

    Our instructors may receive requests from members about that member’s specific circumstances or may provide pole dancing, conditioning, dance, or flexibility training information for educational purposes. They do not offer or provide professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation and may refer the member to third-party resources. Any referrals to official bodies are not intended and should not be construed as an endorsement, promotion, or recommendation by Addictive Pole Fitness.

  • It takes time to build strength and technique for pole tricks, and we have open practice rules to protect you and the studio. We take safety seriously. Any student caught breaking these rules may be banned from Open Practice or asked to leave the studio if they continue to break the rules. If you would like to be assessed to go up to a higher level, please ask us in reception, and we will book an appointment with you. If you want to learn tricks, book a private lesson with an instructor and tell them your wish list.

    Rule 1: Never teach another student of a lower level anything at all! No tips, no suggestions, no advice! If a student needs help, please ask an employed instructor.

    Rule 2: Students are never permitted to teach another student tricks- even students of the same level.

    Rule 3: You must only practice tricks you have learned in class here. If you want to learn a trick you have seen a picture or video of, please ask an instructor or do so at home. Just because it is on YouTube doesn’t necessarily mean it is described or performed correctly. Also, you may not have the strength or skill set to try it just yet.

    We want to keep each of you safe in our studio; therefore, these rules exist. Please keep them in mind when enrolling in open practice.

  • For all private lesson bookings or cancellations, we use the MindBody software. You can manage your private lessons using the following platforms:

  • Level assessments are required for all new students who have previous pole dancing experience and would like to start their journey, at Addictive Pole Fitness, in a series level class higher than Beginner 1 (Beginner 2-Elite). In a 30-minute private lesson, the instructor will help potential students find the right level in the Addictive Pole Fitness curriculum. This is a really important step for experienced pole dancers, as all studios have different curriculums and if not assessed, students may be at risk of injury. No new tricks will be taught during this session, as level assessments are designed to see what the student can achieve confidently.

    The Addictive Pole Fitness Curriculum does have a strong focus on technique and completion of tricks on both sides. At the end of an assessment, the instructor will advise which series level class the student is most suited to.

    If a student has previous experience and would like to join Addictive Pole Fitness, but does not want to attend series-level classes, no assessment is required.

    For all level assessment bookings or cancellations, we use the MindBody software. You can manage your level assessment using the following platforms:

    Final Payment

    The final payment is due 48 hours before the scheduled pole party. This can be conveniently processed over the phone. This will be for any attendees over the minimum number. 

    By following these steps, you can successfully book your Pole Party with Addictive Pole Fitness. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to them directly.
