Why Polestars is good for you:

POLESTAR classes guarantee a unique, fun, girly class atmosphere with a start up of an industry standard aerobics session consisting of a warm up section. Once warmed up and ready to start, the class moves on to the Pole dancing, which develops endurance, strength, power, stamina and mobility especially in the upper body areas. If that’s not enough there are plenty more health benefits to be reaped from participating in the class, such as reduced risk of coronary disease, decrease in blood pressure, body fat, cholesterol and increase in bone density. Remember ladies exercise releases endorphins which make us feel good and help to mobilize positive thinking. So throw your stiletto heels on and have yourself a sexy spin!

The classes have been developed according to the fitness industry standards for good practice. Physical fitness can be broken down into five major areas: motor fitness (speed, balance, agility and co-ordination), muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility.
Polestars lessons cover all of these areas in one fun package. Pulling off the tricks is great for your motor fitness and flexibility, supporting your own weight on the pole covers strength and our two hour classes more than cover the endurance. All of our classes contain an aerobic warm up to encourage cardiovascular fitness and also to ensure you are fully warmed up to get the maximum benefit from the rest of the class.

All of our teachers either have a recognised fitness qualification or are working towards it. This coupled with our extensive quality control mechanisms and training programs means we are confident that we offer the best quality lessons on the market.

CLASS ATMOSPHERE

Pole dancing creates a unique class atmosphere. Attendees sharing poles (maximum of 12 ladies to 2 poles) results in a group dynamic that is energetic, supportive and motivational. The instructors are outwardly enthusiastic, positive, approachable and friendly.

THE AEROBIC SESSION

The Aerobic section follows the industry standard consisting of a warm up section including mobility; pulse raiser and stretch followed by the main aerobic (cardio) section which incorporates the build up, maintenance and cool down aerobic phases. The class then moves onto the muscular strength and endurance section incorporating maintenance and developmental stretch techniques. It is at this point that the girls change their footwear and move on to the poles.

THE POLE DANCING

The pole section develops endurance, strength, power, stamina and mobility especially in the upper body areas. The calories burn and the girls rapidly see improved muscle tone. Pole dancing consists of many elements such as tricks, spins, poses linking moves, floor working, in particular the muscles of the arms, shoulder and torso muscles to maintain good control, stability, balance and posture. After a pole session the girls have a further cool down stretch section. Throughout the class, exercise adaptations are offered according to level of fitness within the class, catering to varying abilities. The teacher will make reference to correct body positions, posture, exercise action, speed and range of movement.
