Pole Fitness is all about improving and building your core strength, co-ordination and confidence; all whilst having a lot of fun. The best thing about Pole Fitness is that at every level there are achievable targets providing motivation and regular excersize. It's a great way to make friends, and to encourage each other to get FIT! It works your core like no other, builds both strength AND confidence and is for ALL shapes, sizes genders and abilities!

All DMU Only class bookings are done through Flight Fitness Booking system. These classes are open to DMU Students only.
Beginners:
When purchasing classes you purchase a four week block this means for four weeks your classes will be on the same day at the same time for four consecutive weeks. These classes are suitable for beginners who are complete new starters, or have some experience and want to brush up on their skills. If you have had a long break and wish to return to pole, this class would be what we reccomend to you.
Intermediate/Advanced
As we dont have many individuals who are at this level as of yet, we dont offer exclusive classes. However, Flight Fitness have been kind enough to ensure our members have a discount code to still attend classes at their DMU membership price and at the level appropriate for them. To get more information on this join our classes groupchat and one of our committee members will be able to help you.

Socials
Every Wednesday night, all of our members get together for our weekly themed social event. This lasts two hours, where everyone can play games, make friends, socialise and dress up for some fun. After the social, there is an opportunity to attend "Wonky Wednesday" (an event organised by studentgram) hosted at FAT CAT from 10-Late. This event is accessible to all DMU sports and Societies, it is a great way to meet peers from other societies, make friends and have fun with people you may not have met before.
(Make sure to join our WhatsApp group for more information, especially to find out the themes for each week!). Our exclusive socials groupchat is linked here:
If you come to socials regularly and have purchased your membership, you will also get an opportunity to get a Pole Fitness Bow (you will see these worn by committee members and old girls/boys each week). You may also wish to buy Pole Society hoodies, and other items of clothing! Wednesday's are always a great event and definitely not to be missed. All the details about socials are posted weekly on our WhatsApp group, if you do not have WhatsApp then please email us or send us a DM on Instagram and a committee member will get in touch and give you all the details.
