Whether you’re working on nailing your first pole climb or finally finding your balance in crow pose, one thing is true for every kind of training: progress takes practice — and the more consistently you train, the faster you’ll see results.
Why once a week can feel slow
When you only train once a week, you’re leaving six whole days between sessions — plenty of time for your body to lose some of that hard-earned “muscle memory.”
Your brain forgets the details – that perfect hand placement or alignment.
Your muscles lose momentum – strength and flexibility gains plateau without regular stimulus.
Each session feels like starting over instead of building from the last one.
It’s not about pushing harder in one session — it’s about giving your body and mind enough regular practice to keep the ball rolling.
Why more consistency = faster progress
For pole dancers: Extra practice means tricks feel smoother, grip feels stronger, and transitions start to flow without thinking. You’ll spend less time “relearning” moves and more time adding new ones.
For yogis: More sessions help you deepen poses, improve flexibility, and build the strength to explore advanced variations. You’ll notice your balance and breath improving week to week.
Adding even one extra class a week can transform your training:
Better retention – Movements feel smoother and more familiar.
Stronger, more flexible body – You adapt faster and reduce injury risk.
Increased confidence – You start stringing skills together and flowing naturally.
It’s not just about doing more
If you can’t make it into the studio every day, you can still support your training with:
At-home conditioning & flexibility work – Our online tutorials are designed for exactly this.
Cross-training – Try yoga, barre or other movement styles to strengthen supporting muscles.
Active recovery – Stretching, foam rolling, or Thai bodywork to keep your body ready for more.
The smart way to speed it up
Add another class – Even fortnightly makes a noticeable difference.
Mix it up – Cross-training keeps you balanced and motivated.
