I just ordered this with a 45mm pole. 😉 I'm not sure if you're in the U.S. but wanted to throw this out there. Good Luck!

Welcome!!! When I first started poling several years ago I was 278 lbs! I’m down to 225 lbs and want to lose about 50lbs more. Congrats to starting your pole journey! Just keep a positive attitude and safe pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Judy, you know that your studio rocks! A big thumbs down to that type of behavior. Don’t waste any of your precious time on drama. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Personally, I like the anonymity that boards provide. I’ve heard from some of the professional polers that they have profiles on boards that are not their real names as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I think it’s good to be able to just be "polers" on the board and not have to identify with a specific group. But that’s just my .02 cents. In regards to the studio owner boards, Heather from Aradia recently started a group on FB for pole instructors, studio managers and owners. You might want to reach out to her to be added to that group. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif God Bless,

Ditto to what all the ladies have already said. Weight should not be an obstacle. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif However, in regards to challenges the only thing I would say is really pay attention to your form to ensure you are utilizing the correct muscles. I have found it very easy for me to lose form when performing a trick (darn gravity). Also condition, condition, condition and condition some more. I’m so in that mode now. I do not video myself alot because of my day job but my sister who is also a plus size poler does. Her videos are not on Veena but here is her facebook page: 
 http://www.facebook.com/CurvyDivaPoleDance. She has tons of videos. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gifJust be patient with yourself and I can’t wait to see your vids!

@Amycut…you literally took the words out of my mouth!!!! I don’t typically post my comments especially when I think they might be construed as negative but I completely agree with you!

We recently switched to K and K Insurance because our previous company stopped covering pole studios. They would continue to cover us as previous policy holders but would not cover any of the new instructors. Good Luck!
