"Having started pole again recently, in a Las Vegas studio, I can say that I have come to further appreciate the Pol-arise structured curriculum and sensibly leveled learning - not all studios teach that way and I think Pol-arise reduces injury risk and optimises strength and learning by implementing such stages." - Emily, physiotherapist & former Pol-arise Newcastle instructor
