Nope! You can book onto our 4 Week Intro to Pole Course or book Private Lessons any time with no prior experience.

Equally, if you want to come try us out in a zero-commitment Taster Session, we run these monthly, and you can get your Taster fee applied to your Intro to Pole course if booking at the end of the Taster.

You can also book into a super chill 15 minute Welcome Chat any time.

For your first pole classes, it's totally cool to wear leggings/ joggers and any comfortable top that allows you to move freely. As your pole training progresses, skin grip will become more important so shorts (or 3/4 length leggings) and vest tops/ sports bras, will be more beneficial. Don't worry, we won't ever force you to dress in a way that's uncomfortable for you and you can go at your own pace.

All classes are bare foot or socks, but you can bring pole heels (such as Pleasers/ Hella Heels) to your classes.

Please do not apply body or hand moisturiser, oils, lotions or tans at least 24 hours before your session as they make the poles slippy and unsafe.

Remove all your jewellery such as rings, watches & bracelets, before class starts.

For Flexibility Flow classes you can wear form fitting layers that allow you to move. We want to stay warm in this class.

For SXY Heels Flow / Technique and SXY Floor Flow/ Technique, as well as Low Sock Flow & Basework, wear whatever makes you feel amazing. Bring shorts incase your routine requires leg grip, and a long top as a layer. Kneepads are recommended and heels are always optional.

No problem at all! If the booking system feels a bit overwhelming you can check out our handy Booking System Guide, which has lots of super short, follow along videos.

Our booking system is super intuitive & easy to use, so have fun exploring your account.

If you're still struggling you can drop us a line to info@pivotpolestudio.co.uk or book a 15 minute Welcome Chat and we'd be happy to go through anything you need.

Our 4 Week Intro to Pole courses are £52 for 4 weeks (4 hours at £13 per hour)

We cannot offer credit extensions or make up classes. Please don't ask us to break this rule. We understand all reasons for cancelling are valid, but we can't be fair to everyone if we bend the rules on some occasions, and not others.

PAYG Classes & Privates:

Cancel with more than 24 hours and your credit will be applied to your account to use on a future course (it's original expiration date will remain the same). Less than 24 hours and your credit will be forfeited.

Courses:

Our courses have a 72 hour cancellation policy if you need to cancel the entire course before it begins. You will receive account credit back on your account to use on a future course/ classes. Less than 72 hours notice and we cannot guarantee this unless we can sell your space.

If you just need to miss one single class from your course, log into your TeamUp account and opt out of your class under My Registrations

Absolutely not! All bodies are good bodies, and all bodies can pole. We pride ourselves on being a super inclusive, friendly & welcoming space where we welcome everyBODY and meet you as you are and where you are at on any given day.

All our beginner friendly sessions have no prerequisites and we don't need you to be strong, bendy or coordinated. Just show up and give everything a good try!

In our classes you'll meet folks from all walks of life, which is beautiful!

We like to keep our classes small & intimate, so there will never be more than 2 folks per pole. In Studio One, this means classes will be capped at 8 people, and in Studio 2, classes will be capped at 6 people.

This gives you plenty of pole & instructor time.

All our classes are for folks who are 16 years and older, but we have zero upper age limit. We have many students spinning and slinking into their 60s

We truly are a hidden gem! We are located at The Biscuit Factory, Anderson Place, Leith.

The Biscuit Factory is locked to the public so you cannot let yourself inside. This is part of our tenancy agreement with our landlord. Please be outside the main doors (shown in the video) no later than 5 minutes before your class starts. Your Instructor will let you in. If you're late, you're late! No refunds will be given. No exceptions. We do not have a buzzer system and we don't answer emails during teaching hours.

Studio One has a small changing area where you can change and leave your shoes & belongings (even if you're class is in Studio Two). There are also bathrooms in the Biscuit Factory.

You can see a video tour of our Studios below.

Pivot Pole Studio holds no liability in the case of any loss or damage to your belongings whilst stored in our Studios.

Yes! There is on-street parking on Anderson Place and surrounding streets; however we can't guarantee how busy the street may be at any given time.

Absolutely! Pole is for everyBODY!

We use standardised, industry standard & professionally installed equipment, provided by XPole and signed off annually by Wolanski's Rigging.

All poles are from XPole which are tested to withstand lateral forces of 360kg +
