THere’s also a studio in Montreal that sells xpoles. Think they are about $350. I can find the info and send it, you want (just on my phone now, so don’t want to search on here)

Hello ladies,
I have another type of question, but related to the discussion above..
I too belong to the no-children-but-still-have-inner-thigh-outer-hip-stretche-marks-plus-cellulite-on-thighs/butt (thank you genetics and that dreaded quickly-gained freshman 15 over a decade ago) even though most people consider me “tiny” (I’m 5’2″ around 110 lbs and a size 0-2/xs).Anyway, I just started poling about 2 months ago and have just started into moves requiring tighter legs grips (like the crucifix, pole climbs, simple invert, lotus, etc) and it’s KILLER on my inner thighs (they’re not actually bruising, but feel rough/knotted where they grip and I find I can only “hold” a position for MAX 10 seconds, not due to grip/strength, but pain… Anyway, that’s a completely diff discussion and I know the body eventually accustoms to it).
Here is the question I had: a friend of mine said beforehand I may get stretchmarks or mine may get worse (mine are usually not terribly visible, as I’ve had them for over 10 yrs, unless the skin around gets tanned (I’m very pale) or you’re very close) from gripping/sliding, on thighs/arms/side/etc. Has anyone noticed they’ve developed stretch marks from poling or that existing marks have gotten worse (deeper/darker/longer)?

Sorry, that should say I did start in LEVEL 1, not lesson 1

wow… I think I would have been very frustrated if I had to wait 4-5 lessons for spins!
I've been poling only for two months now. At my studio, the first MOVE we were taught was the bow and arrow spin, then to twirl under your arm and then around the pole (not sure if that has a name, but it's exactly as I described and all grounded), then the fireman. (that was all lesson 1)
However, I did start in lesson 1and there was a disclaimer saying the moves are difficult. For those needed slower instruction/not currently active, it's recommended they take the intro course first (much more ground work, less spins)

hmm, ok..
I was able to fix the problem–in case it happens to anyone else–simply use the tightening rods to screw it on (with a lot of torque). I just hope it comes apart easily, when necessary!
