Pole Conditioning

All Levels

ONYX Pole Conditioning is a class designed to help you increase your muscular strength and flexibility. The more advanced the pole trick is, the more strength or flexibility it will require to look clean, graceful, and smooth. Conditioning exercises are meant to lightly (but consistently) push your limits, raising the threshold for your strength and flexibility alike.

This Conditioning class helps your body by strengthening it and makes it more flexible through a series of repetitive, dynamic, and sustained movements. These conditioning exercises may seem simple, such as strengthening your calves or building general upper body strength, but we also work on increasing the strength of your smaller muscle groups, such as improving your grip, forearm or trapezius strength, your gluteus minimus endurance,or your foot arch flexibility.

We recommend you attend Conditioning class as part of your usual training, and especially as you begin learning inverted moves, where it becomes more and more important that you can physically hold your body weight up, reliably and efficiently.
