What is pole fitness?
The pole is fixed vertically from floor to ceiling allowing us to move around and up it. At Spin City Newbury, we focus on fitness, using the pole to condition and tone your body and making beautiful shapes and combinations. Our poles are all stainless steel, which is kind to sensitive skin that reacts to nickel content.
What are the benefits of taking pole classes?
- Burn calories – approx. 300 per class
- Improve balance and coordination
- Increase strength and muscle tone
- Build confidence and self-esteem
- Meet new people!
What should I wear for pole class?
Bare arms and legs are essential to grip the pole, so we would recommend shorts and a t-shirt or vest, with bare feet – in the beginning you can wear whatever is comfortable, and we will work around you. Avoid wearing any creams or lotions on the day of your class, as this can affect your grip on the pole.
How much do classes cost?
Classes are priced at £12 per session. Your first class with Spin city Newbury is free – just use the code YNXPANLJ when you book.

What if I'm not very coordinated?
At Spin City we welcome everyone – regardless of dance experience, athletic ability or fitness level. Being able to support your body weight and having a little coordination will help but remember – these are the skills you will learn during classes. We all learn in different ways, at different speeds and Spin City helps provide an inclusive atmosphere to learn in, where you can develop your own unique style.
What are the pre-requisites for each class level?
