The only thing I am need some tips and advice about what pole would be best to get for a beginner? I have been doing a lot of research but there are so ma my options.

Hey there!
Congratulations on your decision to pick up pole dancing, and I hope that it provides you everything that you’re hoping for! Pole dancing can be really hard, but it is also very rewarding!As for poles, there are three “main” companies that most of us feel are reputable and reliable enough to trust our weight and our lives (in many ways) to. Those companies are Lil Mynx, X-pole, and Platinum Stages.
Lots of women here have X-poles, and swear by them! They have different kinds of options for metal type, spinning or not spinning, and their versatility for travel.
Lil Mynx is what I have, and I’ve enjoyed their poles very much. They usually come as one single piece, and can be powder-coated, as well as stainless steel. Again, spinning and not spinning.
Platinum stages I haven’t heard much about recently, but they are still kickin’ and have a good selection as well!Depending on your space and your preferences to what you do with that space (like, Lil Mynx requires to put a single bolt into the ceiling, where X-pole does not), any of these would be a great choice!
I would say, if you can, go for a pole that can do both spinning and not spinning, because as you grow as a pole dancer, you can explore both!
Also, see if you can find a pole studio nearby and try their poles out, even if it’s for one drop-in class. See what you like of the finish, what things seem to work about the poles, and what doesn’t. That way you can be a little more sure of what you want! -
Any pole listed by Rumist is a quality pole. Don’t buy anything that is cheap!!! Tm

Yes, please don’t buy anything “Off Brand”. They might have an appealing price, but honestly if you want to have peace of mind AND body, stay with industry and pole tested product. I’m a newbie and I’ve done so much research on every available pole out there! I was all set to buy a new chrome 45mm Xpert(Xpole) when I ran into someone selling her 1yr old pole at a great deal, on Craigslist. If you try Craigslist, be smart and ask questions and pics if there aren’t any. You could perhaps go to a local Pole Fit studio, and ask the instructor if she knows anyone selling theirs…or just save up the extra cash and buy a new pole from any of the three companies, Rune listed. My opinion, I prefer Xpole as my pole. The Xpert is static, as well as spinny. Also, it comes in segments with a carry bag, which makes it easy for me to transport, just in case I move or I go to a friends house with it. Hope this helps…good luck! 🙂
