LEADERS IN POLE & AERIAL FITNESS

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing an XPERT Pro Pole. The team at

X-POLE have spent a signiﬁcant amount of time researching, designing and developing it.

We want this product to be the world’s leading Exercise and Dance Pole, if it’s not; we want to understand why not! At X-POLE we thrive on constructive criticism and suggestions! So contact us (details on the back cover) if you have any comments or suggestions on how to

improve the product

Before using your pole

Mis-using a pole can be dangerous, not only to the user but also to anyone close to the pole. The use of a dance pole is always at the user’s discretion, and it is the user’s responsibility to check the pole is installed correctly & safely before use.

Pole Exercise is extremely physical and uses muscles that you will not have used before and therefore if you are not warmed up; muscle damage, strains and injury can occur. Before using the pole it is mandatory to warm up and, after use, cool down.

It is highly recommended that before you use your XPERT Pole you review some online videos to learn the basic moves. Never try moves beyond your ability without an instructor. If at any time whilst using your pole you feel uncomfortable, your muscles hurt, or you are short of breath – take a break. Always rest between moves & exercise sensibly, if you

experience any health issues, seek medical advice.

Have fun with your X-POLE XPERT Pro. The X-POLE Team.

What to wear

Clothing

When it comes to clothing – less is best (unless you have purchased either a Powder Coat or Silicone Pole).

So try to keep your arms and legs uncovered. Pole work needs the friction created by skin contact, so

T-Shirts, Crop Tops & Shorts are best. However, you must feel comfortable so wear what you feel relaxed in

(tracksuit bottoms, etc.) even though this may mean you are unable to do some of the pole moves properly

because of grip.

Footwear

Again comfort is essential. Bare feet (recommended), dance shoes, or trainers can be used but trainers have high friction, so a trainer with a smooth as possible sole is recommended.

Oils and Lotions

NEVER use oils and/or lotion on your hands or body prior to using your pole. This is very DANGEROUS. The

oil can transfer onto the pole making it slippery and impossible to hold and this could cause you or someone using the pole after you to have a serious accident.

Checking the parts

Please check the contents of your XPERT Pro pole with the contents diagram (Fig 1.1). If anything is missing or damaged, please contact your point of purchase.

X-Pole Xpert Pro height chart

Using the full (125mm/5") allowed length of the Adjuster Unit (which adjusts the height of the pole) & both included extensions (125mm/5" & 250mm/10") will allow the XPERT Pro to ﬁt ceilings between the ranges of 2260mm (88.9") to 2755mm (108.4"). If you have a ceiling which is higher than 2755mm (108.4"), you will need to purchase additional/ optional extensions from our website www.xpole.com (ﬁrst select your region, then search for the ‘Extensions’ section) or from your point of purchase.

The A-Pole Adjuster Unit has the capability of extending the XPERT Pro pole by 125mm (5"). With Adjuster Unit closed (contracted) you will be able to achieve a height of 2260mm (7'4) & with it open (extended) using both the supplied extensions, you will achieve a height of 2755mm (9').

CAUTION: You should NEVER use more than 125mm (5”) of the Adjuster Unit.

TIP: Home Poles are suitable for heights up to 3390mm. For heights above this, please contact your local X-POLE ofﬁce regarding Dual-lined one-piece and multi-piece poles.

Choosing the best place for your X-Pole

Try to ﬁnd a suitable area in the centre of your room, where you would like to install your pole. Above this area, you will need to locate a ‘Joist’, please see instructions below on how to do this.
