Small Group Personal Training

At PFA Studio, we prioritize creating a confidence-boosting environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Led by Louise, who is highly qualified in various fields including Perimenopause and menopause strength training, training for older populations, indoor cycling, Pilates mat instruction, and as a level 3 personal trainer and aerial instructor, you can trust that you are in capable hands. With nearly 20 years of experience, Louise is dedicated to helping you succeed.

Our small group personal training sessions are competitively priced at just £12 for a 45-minute class. We offer flexible memberships and class packs to make your fitness journey even more accessible.

What to expect?

Supportive Tips for Your First Pole Dance Lessons

Choose the Right Outfit

For your first lessons, loose tracksuit bottoms and vest tops are ideal. Ensure your trousers can be pulled up over your knees to maximize grip, and opt for tops that keep your armpits free.

Never Compare Yourself to Others

Everyone starts at different points. Those with gymnastics or dance backgrounds may pick up moves quicker, while those with horse riding experience often have a fearless approach. It's important to remember that individuals without previous gym experience may struggle with upper body strength initially. The exciting part is that everyone will discover their unique strengths along the way.

Pole Kisses

Yes, "pole kisses" are real! As a beginner, your proprioception around the pole will be developing, which may lead to some accidental bumps and bruising. Don’t worry though; this is a normal part of the learning process and will lessen as you build strength and condition your skin.

Laugh, Enjoy, Support

The most crucial aspect of pole dancing is to have fun. This journey can be challenging, but the celebrations for each achievement, big or small, are what make it special. Enjoy the laughs during the good times and lean on your fellow classmates for support during tougher moments. Pole dancing is more than just a fitness class; it creates a sense of family and community.

1. Choose the Right Outfit: Opt for clothing that flatters your body and boosts your confidence. Lingerie-inspired tops, high-waisted shorts, or sleek bodysuits can accentuate your curves while allowing for freedom of movement. Don’t forget those Heels!

2. Master Your Technique: Refining your pole skills not only enhances your performance but also adds an air of confidence. Focus on transitions, fluidity, and control to create a captivating routine.

3. Embody the Music: Connect deeply with the music. Let the rhythm guide your movements, as this will help you express a sensual narrative and draw the audience into your performance.

4. Use Eye Contact: Engage with your audience by maintaining eye contact. This simple gesture can create an intimate atmosphere and enhance the overall appeal of your performance.

5. Focus on Your Body Language: Use slow, deliberate movements to convey allure. Pay attention to how you present yourself; subtle gestures can be incredibly enticing.

6. Practice Self-Confidence: Confidence is key to a sexy performance. Regular practice and positive self-talk can help you embrace your body and shine on stage.

By embracing these elements, you can redefine your pole routine and explore a more seductive side of your dancing prowess.
