What to know before your class...
What to wear
Please do NOT moisturise at least 24 hours prior to class, this can make you slippery and lose grip. This can be dangerous and also frustrating for you if it jeopardises your hour in class.
If you use sun beds, using one the same day as pole is absolutely fine but please do not use sun bed cream as this will also make you very slippery.
Please try to avoid shaving on the same day, again as this can make you slippery.
Make sure you wear something that you feel comfortable in. Shorts will need to be worn in order for leg skin contact on the pole. However, if you are uncomfortable wearing them, you can purchase longer ones and roll them up as an option. Put your shorts on under leggings or tracksuit bottoms when you arrive, and only take your trousers off when you need to, so you feel more comfortable or bring your shorts separately and get changed when needed.
A sports bra and vest top are a good option to wear. Or a baggy t-shirt if you want more protection.
Bare feet is advised due to slipping but if you would prefer to wear socks, you can do but at your OWN risk.
Make sure to bring a drink with you. The gym does sell bottles of water and other drinks at reception if needed.
Timings and Safety
Please ensure you leave enough time to find us, as if you are more than 5 minutes late, you will not be allowed to participate in the class. This is because the warm up is the most vital part of class to avoid injury.
We are in the studio within Body Ethics Gym in Hitchin. Please go to reception who will buzz you through the door, go up the stairs and walk across the gym to the door behind the rowing machines. Come in and take a seat near the wall on the right. If a class is in session, please wait patiently for your class to start. Being early is absolutely fine as long as no disruptions to the class is made.
