Training Legs for Pole???

Hey everyone, I've been pole dancing for almost two years and in that time, the only workouts I do are pole and legs training at the gym once a week or every two weeks.  It's gotten to the point where I find myself dreading going to the gym and it's because 1.) it's boring 😕 and 2.) I'm not sufficiently motivated because I don't feel like it's helping me in my sport of choice - pole. I've learned that the only way I will stay motivated and on track to workout is if there is a "greater purpose" behind the working out; in other words, I don't want to do it if it's strictly about "being in shape" or "staying healthy" - I need a reason.  I have no problem (and enjoy) the strength training I do on the pole because I know it's gonna make me stronger for tricks, etc.  So, my question is this: what is everyone's training that they do for their lower half that helps them be stronger for pole dancing, tricks, etc?  Help!
