Please reach us at @mageflowpole.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We offer a variety of pole fitness styles including:
What is the studios structure?
What is the scientific focus?
With the current medical based research on pole sport coaching and women's health, we are a holistic focused studio with women's experience at this time.
We are a women only facility for body positivity in ourselves and in the pole community. The following data is used for classes:
What about popular or the usual female dance trends?
We are a womens only facility due the medical focus of the cirriculum.
We are not currently teaching ballet, hip-hop or belly dancing specifically but flows do incorporate flow styles of these.
Scientific research on Pole Fitness exercise began pouring out of universities and Olympic coaching clinics world wide in 2017-present. Pole qualifies as a low aerobic work out for the Cardiac Society based on sustained level 2 zone criteria using routine based training for 60 minutes
BUT...World wide Studies on Amateurs ages 30-80, as compared to Professional polers(those poling longer than 6=7 yrs) have found the following:
The Lower levels obtain aerobic 1st then anaerobic and finally HITT levels when practiced 1-2 days per week for 3-6 months. There is more dance move observation and repeating of sequences at the learning levels. The progressive lifting to failure is scattered across multiple muscle groups with the goal to increase the number of combinations, stamina, balance and flexibility body wide.
After this point around year 1-2, the work out continues in significant Anaerobic (progressive lifting) components. The lifting becomes sustained time on the pole. The spurts up the pole are more frequent and muscle gains continue along with Cardio-vascular stamina and balance groups.
After 5-6 years it becomes all 3 exercise category with further intensified levels of aerobic, anaerobic and HITT components. This group is usually competing, instructing and performing. This group is trained and continues to grow in end-range flexibility, fast twitch fiber development and end range flexibility.
Overall research states that muscle building (progressive lifting) is noted with consistent 1-2/wk pole workouts with appropriate pole nutrition. Water weight decrease(very interesting fact) and full body re-comp data indicates the same continued progressive on individual fitness with respect to over all individual status, despite: AGE, BMI or hormonal status of the female. What a secret that needs to be shouted from the roof-tops!
Yes! Pole fitness welcomes all levels and body types. Beginners can start with basic moves and build up at their OWN pace. Instructors create supportive environments where everyone feels comfortable and encouraged, no matter their shape, size, age or fitness background.
We teach in an safe environment about body positivity to stop self-judgment and self-comparison so you can bloom into who you have been inside, without anyone's definitions while your body becomes more healthy and muscles grow - all while having FUN!
We insist you clap for your wins and clap and scream for those around you 'cuz...pole is about supporting each other!
We have to answer this. M'age Flow Pole & Fitness is dedicated to facilitating a safe women's dance space for self- expression in the age groups 18-90's: with attention to developing "Strength,Grace and Longevity" of women across the life span.
The current female health climate, as it relates to female health, is the basis of our environment, music choices, pole sisters community and passion.
Longevity is scientifically stated as:
Purpose in life (here as a female, as a dancer, as an example of joy)
Consistent Activity (doing something long term and not stopping)
Social networking support and
Healthy eating are vital rather then age focuses or any other "number focus". So as women we come together at all ages.
The large contingent of > 36 y/o females are present on earth now, and are particularly vulnerable to physical and psychological health issues, but we have seen it happen as early as age 27. Women will live their lives for > 60 yrs (science estimating) as non-childbearing.
It's a new age and all women are valid, not invisible and worth loving for who they ARE!
Yes, dreams can happen but like all human endeavors they take time. If you don't start, it can't happen at all right? And it does require consistency. Most of us aren't due to time, money and feeling like we don't fit! Pole has an amazing retention rate not seen in other exercise options. Why? Because it's NEVER boring!
So...Definitely it's do able!! Pole sport is an excellent full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. Many people find it a fun way to get fit because it doesn’t FEEL like traditional exercise and staying with it is a breeze.
Pole sport builds muscles, period. What many women do NOT realize is that our hormones starting at menses dictate many quantum physical like things:physical, build, ability, stamina, muscle fibers available, and how the food we ate got stored in the muscles. Women begin to loose fast twitch fibers by the mid 30's specifically in the core/pelvis, even if athletic. Those cells do not go away according to NEW research, they morph in women and, CAN be RETRAINED and GROWN. Grown because many of us never HAD any to begin with!
These muscles affect your BALANCE, your joints, you ability to not slump, to eat healthy and be metabolically balanced as well as psychologically feel better.
Pole answers ALL of that in as little as a class a week with some homework over a 6 month period, according to multiple studies. So YES, it IS possible. And yes just like a kid growing muscles it will take time but, what ya gonna be doing in 5 years? Pole laughing or still dreaming?
Pole sport is an excellent full-body workout that improves: Muscle mass, Grip strength, pelvic and core strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance and stamina.
There are many schools of thought about cross training with in the pole industry with some folks encouraging gym memberships, cross training of all types have been noted, but the majority of polers use three things in developing muscle growth consistently
1) Walking Steps daily- that is appropriate to the individual with appropriate muscle engagement during walking.(Glutes, thighs core, back and breathing).
2) Pole conditioning(homework or "cookie bites: short 3-5 repetitions of a certain muscle combination usually a 5-15 minute thing done in the kitchen often!)
3) Pole sport and dance classes, lessons in person or on interactive on-line venues.
4) Focused weight progresssive lifting for weak areas based on moves they are working on.
When we as polers find a weakness, then we address the individual muscle groups for that move ...but no, we aren't working out more than 1-2 hours per day including drive time usually, we have lives!.
One may need an arm day or a leg day for specifics goals they have, so generally we see changes pretty easily in the full body, some data says as soon as 6 weeks, others in 12 weeks.
Pole WILL take your muscles to failure in an hour with correct effort and application.
Then we go on with our day and week.
Most of us have to monitor for OVER training because we love it so much!

Not at all. Not unless that is in YOUR goal personally. You each can choose the style and level of pole fitness that feels right for ourselves!
Some classes focus purely on athletic moves, acrobatics and tricks, while others might include more expressive choreography. (playful, fun, empowering, spiritual linked, classy ballet, jazz, salsa/rumba, sensual or even seductive are all possibilities).
Not every style FEELS right, not every leg line looks the same person to person either, so it’s totally up to you.We encourage you to speak with instructors about what your body likes or doesn't feel good to you.
Pole is awesome to finally learn what your style actually is and is personal body specific
- Rock the body you are in and love it! Your way!
DEFINITELY!
All Dance is basically the brain body connection. It happens through what is known as Neuromuscluar pathways. If you have never done it, or only done say a line dance 567 times then, THAT is what you body knows. No other moves.
The beauty of Pole starts with the FUN and laughter of being in a ROOM full of women, with the same problems feeling like "a baby Giraffe". It is like being a kid again!
When the brain is set free like that, magic happens and we start forming those pathways in the brain and in the body. We have so many to form, it does take time.
Pole needs a bit more pathways as the balance, is based on shifting the bodies weight to the right spot at the right time and clamping down muscles that no other sport TRAINS. Not even yoga. Pole is an awesome way to increase brain memory so that it becomes natural, in other words you don't have to THINK about it at all.
Polers do this with repetitions, conditioning, muscle building and THAT leads to a stronger self-belief that you CAN dance. And that confidence is why pole fitness is so valuable. It works Mind, body and spirit.
Starting pole you probably have what you need in your house.
1) A supportive bra and shirt with roll up sleeves or a tank top
2) A pair of shorts that allow inner thigh contact of the leg for tricks classes or
2b) A pair of leggings and socks for floor or chair work.
3) A bottle of water (at least 12 ounces)
4) Your smile and sense of humor!
Optional things if you are just so excited and have to get something :
A small backpack and hand towel
Dry hands Grip aide
A water bottle
A cheap yoga mat from wally world
Suggested things to do- before class
-Talk to the studio for your Free dance eval BEFORE you buy shoes if possible. Pole sport can be expensive so it's better to just wait until you know what your feet, ankles and balance need!
- do not use lotions/creams of any kind for at least 24hours.(this may change for you, based on your body metabolic processes, but start clean and dry) If you forget - a quick shower before class will help.
- do not wear jewelry into the studio please
- Arrive about 5-10 min early and meet whoever is there and do some easy stretching.
It is that simple.
We strongly suggest you discuss buying heels or dance shoes with your instructors at MFP&F.
Starting pole the student will be exploring their personal style, their personal likes and dislikes and their body positivity relationship within them selves and others. We find it best to let that develop naturally within each persons comfort level.
Fear of showing ones fanny can last for years and is not necessary! There are ways to do pole tricks and protect skin, fanny and virtues (of value to an individual), fully in tact.Pole is about finding YOU, not putting on another persona you have to deal with.
The studio provides you with evaluations of your specific dance ability, stamina, flexibility, muscle engagement coordination, grip ability &skin recommendations early on in your journey. Your pole and dance goals, your self body/mind and spirit goals as well as self expression grow and change, but not all at once. Come in and get to know yourself FIRST.
Be sure & contact the studio soon, so you can plan your budget of dreamy pole gear BEFORE you go too nuts and your budget crushes you!
For a class cancellation just log in and cancel within your time frame usually 12-window before CLASS, if a drop in, punch pack or membership. You will retain the price within your credits for 30 days to re-book. Complete charge reversal will need a written reversal request to maze@mageflowpole, as it goes through the Stripe Company and fees apply through them.
Punch/Pack cards: These are a month to month option. They do not repeat unless you refill your credits. You are buying class credits good for 1 month.
Punch/Packs cards are good for 30 days, so you have time to reschedule another class with that re-credit.All sales are final for that 30 days.
Membership cancellations (repeat billing)
Let say you have busy life(leaving town, work, kids etc) and you want to stop the membership at any time. Simply log into the app and look for the cancel button. Click it and the process begins within the system. The system requires at least a 14 day request to keep from billing you again.
Please be sure to contact the studio if you are having problems with the apps! Computers and digital things do become difficult at times and we can usually help!
You may need all three and that is fine.They are interchangeable as long as you watch your cancellation windows, credits and goals!
Example of how you can use the cancellation options:
1) Mary has a performance and needs pole rental, privates, classes & support being at the studio. She gets the Gold membership for April thru Jun.She kills it at the Competition. She then cancels the membership and gets a Bling 4 pack for July & August to recover. Her kid has tones to do in Sept, so she repeats the bling but wants to go to a special pole tricks class she knows is doing a specific floor-work routine and she wants to do a practice session every 3rd week at open pole. She signs up using a drop in option, but because she has the pack, the rates are at a lower price. That helps with her budget, and her kids while still taking care of her health.
2) Jenny takes on line classes weekly but needs some accountability and some socialization. She can't focus with all the kids and chores and puts off working out & doing the classes. She pays for the pole rental only pack on the 3 month practice only, but finds she needs a private because she is stuck. She cancels the pole pack , re does her months options with the studio crediting her with her new Bling 4 pack and gets a discount on a private once a month. She gets ideas for her home-pole regime and compacted training that works better for her budget and kids. She meets others like her and they get some mom-play dates going and starts training more than she thought she could for cheaper.
3) Wendy is very shy. She chooses the private only package but after a few months she wants to try the hot-flash-hottie class. Because she has a pack, she can do a drop in at amuch lower charge. She then gets up the nerve to take the low flow and the divine class so she contacts the studio. She transfers her credits that she has to a Gold pack and scedules her privates at a lower rate.
Pole studios have strict rules about safety so it is safe while having fun! We all enforce saftey for our kiddos and we should with ourselves as well. From day one all students are required to follow safe standards of conduct even for floor work and stretching.
When done properly, pole sport is safe. It’s important to learn from experienced instructors, use proper technique, and practice in a safe environment with mats if trying a new move at any height. Like any sport, taking it step by step helps prevent injuries.
The most common poler complaints medically are : 1) Incorrect muscle engagement (shoulder and ankles) causing 2) "Repetitive motion" injury's. Sometimes we keep doing something trying to get it right, which is not a good idea - Never force a move!, 3) Pole kisses - bruises on the legs or arms until the skin becomes accustomed to the metal contact points and shifts.
Polers should stay well hydrated, have rest days and good nutrition and discuss all medical concerns with their providers,for safe fun healthy dancing.
Pole sport and dance classes are fun and friendly. We insists of pole community and letting others in even if it's just a tiny window you open like giving your name and a smile.
All classes:conditioning, low flow, slow flow, wisdom balance, pole dance, sport, chair and floor.
Beginning - Instructors will lead a 3-7 min warm up based on the tricks or moves that will be taught for that hour. Then the "learning mode begins". Zone 1-2.
The class will involve the instructor showing you the move or move sequence and then the whole class does it with the instructor, A LOT.
Once the class has it down about 60-70%, another sequence of moves is given, then added to the 1st one. Don't worry, there is a brilliant amount of risne repeat!
Repetition strengthens and confirms!
Most dance and pole classes have a 3-6 move focus' to get through based on the level of the class.
This is followed by a different cool down for about 3-5 minute to keep from cramping up later.
Video taping is frequent as it helps a)track what you learned, b) allow you to see how much better you get in about 3 months and c) have a reference of the moves you already learned so you can change them up and make a combo of your own someday.
2) Ending the class: yes you will make it to the 45-50 min mark!
This is nerve wracking to many dancers, until they learn how to draw upon their performance brain cell storage place! We all set up cameras and video ourselves personally, if at all possible (we won't shot you if you don't do it).
At the very least you will want to discover exactly WHAT you retained from the process. It's like a self-challenge puzzle.
The class as a whole or in a split group performs the learned sequenced dance start to finish about 3-4 times in the last 10-15 minutes. Now that's some aerobics, HITT and anaerobic that will leave ya exhilarated!
You will walk out the door floating, exhausted and possibly not want to leave.
If your feeling upset or confused we strongly encourage you to speak with the instructor. Women have lots of self talk that we need to share and support each other on immediately and not take it home!
At home: DRINK water and eat Protein appropriate to your needs.
Pole dance just worked every muscle in your being. It will NOT eat your fat. The muscles that you are building WILL much later but not at 1st! Eat and get some good sleep!!!
That is probably a yes, but lets go over it.
All students are responsible to discuss exercise with their medical providers, we are not a medical service. We can tell you what we recommend based on your providers recommendations in a class.
These are usually about moving and dieting for your health problems. We can answer questions about what questions to ask your provider but you will need to do the discussion with them, find out any concerns they might have about the work.
Generally if you can stand unassisted and are not on blood thinners or have chronic vertigo, a fall history or cardiac condition that prohibits exercise in zone 2, then we can work with your goals in class.
Basic safe Balance and movement at a Zone 1 with progressive lifting is offered one time per week but again, this needs to be provider approved.
A private lesson may be more appropriate for you for 1:1 assistance and safety based on your doctors recommendations.
The studio does require a legal statement waiver under the state of Texas for you to sign acknowledging your providers okay to work out at the studio.
