This is very helpful always trying to get more flexible the moves look so much better. Gonna try it tonight

I cant wait to see and hear about your progress. I recently got it for my son and of course he hasnt started yet but I stay on him. I thought about trying myself. My problem is lack of motivation I really hate working out along but I am excited for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Angel by no means were u being negative. I actually appreciate you being so frank. You just exposed a side of business that is a reality. Rather a studio or any other business. Am not new to entrepreneurship. I’m looking at both sides and plan B and C https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Your honesty is refreshing and appreciated. I will check out that link you posted. Instructors are my biggest concern because they will make or break the entire atmoshere in the studio. Its hard finding poeple to share your dreams and implement your ideas efffectively. I so wish I could teach all the classes but I know my limitations, am working hard though to get there. I’m scared and I can admit it but I want to try and see.

Yogabeachbabe you are so right about people taking the class and am wondering how in the world could you not just love this beautiful way of self expression and be hooked like we are

Thank you for your post Angel1201. You are right on point about being cautious. The way the economy is people dont have as much disposable money like before. So they are spendung less and on necessities. I am planning to offer other fitness classes besides pole to bridge the gap. Consumers are very picky and they want to know they are getting what they are paying for. Am almost finish with my group fitness cert. so I plan on teaching other classes but not pole yet. Hopefully I think I’ve found a retired dancer that is interested in teaching pole.Thank you again for your input.

Gotcha yogabeachbabe.

Thank u guys for sharing all ur ideas. I see the advantages both ways when it comes to sharing poles. Being on the student side I myself wouldnt want to share a pole either if I was paying to come to a studio. I see the benefit to having spotters in advance classes more so then beginner

The studio I went to did not share poles and everyone seemed to like it better. Out of the hour we only really spent 30 mins or so on the pole for spins, dance, pose and stuff. The other time was spent warming up and cooling down. No one seemed to be tired. And at some points the instructor actually told us to buddy up for some things but we still had our own pole to go back to.

So for advertising sake I am zoning in on everyone has there own pole. Also ideally I would want the instructors to have group fitness certification or pt because we will also have other classes besides pole kinda cardio aerobic like. Great ideas…. please keep them coming.

Ive narrowed down to possible spots both have pros and cons…think I may blog about it to get it out of my head.

Thanks again for all the posts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Thank you yogabeachbabe for sharing your info. Am working on getting all that together. Prices and classes and things. I know for certain that I want each person to have their own pole. The facility I am looking at will prob only house 6 or 8 poles and the bigger area for the other classes. The dollar amount was what I had kinda thought of to for the flat rate. Thanks for your encouragement.

Thank you phillypolejess for commenting. I have attended a studio thats about 1hr 30min from me I was going once a week for 3 months. I picked up a few things I would mimic and some I would not. It was a nice studioit had a pole room and then a bigger room for other classes like aerobics and things, lobby and a small section where it sold shoes,and other dance clothes, also a counter for smoothies and drinks and stuff. My backer does have the money for payroll for instrutors I just need a round about figure what most instructors would expect and what would be reasonable to pay.I am in southern GA. Your totally right about the contracts everything has to be in writing.

I think u already are starting out good. Stretching and strength building will probably be good starts. I think the more flexible u are the better your spins. pole poses and inverts turn out. And the strength building will help also when u start ur spins and pole climbing. Lots of places I have read suggest 30 min a day for flexibilty and stretching training. And also hold ur stretches longer like 15 to 20 sec. Good luck with everything.

[MochaKat]

This is such a great idea. I hope everyone does it. Really want a pole pal get so lonely by myself with my new found joy.

Hi Jillian I took one of your classes in Tally. Had a great time. I live in Albany about hour in a half away so I only joined for three months for a jumpstart to poling. Glad to see someone I know on here. You’ll like the site. Take care maybe I’ll see u again in Tally. Wish I was closer https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
