How to tell if your pole is too tight or too loose

[@TheYogina]

You have some of the best videos, you always just get to the point no BS or show boating like many do on your tube. This video is very helpful. I had a pole in my basement with no issues. Moved to a different place in an older building on the 2nd floor and the pole started to fall down in the middle of my training 😲😲, luckily I was able to catch it. My husband said it was caused by the house shifting during the season change, whatever the reason, I'm always checking poles before I get on them.

[@StudioVeena]

Yep a change in the temp can make a difference. Glad you're ok!

[@patchu6425]

Thanks for this video. Super helpful xx

We have a 10ft ceiling where the pole just been installed. Everything seems good with the push-pull spin routine. We just noticed there's a slight shake and wobble in the middle of the pole when using. The top portion doesn't move though which is good? We just want to make sure if this sounded like something normal with a tall ceilings, or maybe that was a sign of being over tightened.

[@StudioVeena]

The taller the pole the more give it will have. Make sure to check your pole every time before you practice. :)

[@erikawoods9461]

That’s common for most pole to wobbly in the middle that’s what I’m dealing with but it doesn’t budge

[@thetimella]

I just got an xpole xpert and after putting it up, my ceiling cracked just from tightening! I barely got to tighten it but I live in a very old uk building. I did place it under a beam using a wall scanner too, but along the beam I saw the crack forming 😢

[@catherinewylie6959]

Thanks! LOL at the video clips in there! I am taking your online classes and I have a portable spin pole and it started hanging up/stalling at times when spinning. I think I need to oil the thing or something? Guess I need to take it out and look at the bottom of it and see what's up.

[@StudioVeena]

;) You're welcome. This video is on the website too if you want to save it. Most quality poles will have ball bearings and shouldn't need additional lubrication. The pole could be warped or the spin mechanism isn't very good.

[@catherinewylie6959]

@@StudioVeena Thank you! It's at least good enough to learn on for a while, if so.

[@imjustagirlok]

This was super helpful thank you!!

[@wisdomfromwithin888]

Do you have tips for tightening a pole that’s already been installed? It’s removable, the instructions say to tighten/check the pole every 30mins. I am not sure if I’m suppose to loosen screws before turning the pole counter clockwise(tighten) or leave the screws as they are and turn the pole counter clockwise?

[@l.b.5814]

Hey y'all, grab some copper anti-seize compound at the auto parts store! Put it on the threading where all my pole pieces connect. My first pole is permanently assembled, although broken, because I did not think to do this.

[@Googleuser-jv8fi]

Very very helpful

[@DaniWinksFlexibility]

Fab content - as always!

[@rebecca44774]

I have an xpole it makes loud creaking like noises when I am on it in spin mode. What does that mean?

[@Googleuser-jv8fi]

For me it sometimes meant too tight, OR I needed to like loosen all the screws higher on the pole then retighten them, to make sure the joint things inside my spinning pole were all aligned

[@sunjawinter9173]

I am scared that it'll over tighten and damage the ceiling.....keep ending up under tension and have to re-adjust

[@shisea]

Try and put a piece of wood between the top dome and ceiling so it disperses the weight evenly and not make cracks or damage to your ceiling

[@steakyp]

I loved the end gif hahahaah so good haha

[@MaRriAa81]

One day my pole felt down .Now im so afraid to use it.

[@_dndelion]

Mine fell & i just put it back up after like 2 months. But now theres a deepish scratch on it :(( . I didnt tighten it after each use so i think thats why mine fell

[@martao4335]

this made me realize i overtightened my pole. i tried lengthening it, and then when i put the cover slip back on, i did it too tightly, and i didn’t realize my pole wasn’t straight. pls help, i can’t untwist it. idk what to use 😭

[@pendarlin]

Same thing happened to me! My husband got a wrench and it got it the bolts loose super easy!

[@ЮлияБычек-ш1х]

@@pendarlincan you explain this to me as good girl please ? what bolts exactly ?

[@youngblisslife4308]

I've tested my xpole so many times and it still manage to come down when I swing. I think its my ceiling because its concrete and not gripping that well. I want to try the grip liner you put in cabinets to give the silicon something to grip on besides the concrete. I put it on the bottom of the pole (my floor is really slippery because its concrete as well. I live in a loft with 11ft ceilings), and it didn't budge but the dome did when I pulled on it. I'm getting quite frustrated with this and I love my loft. Worst case scenario, ill just use the pole for conditioning and avoid swinging and a lot of spins

[@MoriaKrelshtein]

My pole spins too fast!! Idk what to do :( even when I put my arm or leg out to slow it down its just as fast if not faster

[@StudioVeena]

That’s normal too it takes practice to learn how to control the spin here’s a helpful video www.studioveena.com/tutorial/veenas-tips-for-spinning-pole-live-lesson-free-1279/ I also have a 30 day spin pole program

[@MoriaKrelshtein]

@@StudioVeena thank you so much

[@vanessaclr7]

My pole is no longer spinning now that ive out it back up, how do i fix this?

[@StudioVeena]

If it's an xpole or lupit pole contact the company and they can help. If it's a cheap pole off amazon, then it's most likely broken :(

[@StoneyGodly]

Hi, I have a portable pole and it keeps coming down. it's on the beam and straight. what can I do to stop it coming down?

[@StudioVeena]

If it's an off brand pole as in not xpole or lupit then that's a common issue that can't be fixed.

[@yeseniamaldonado4961]

Hi love your video but if the pole is to tight and not spinning smoothly how do we fix it ? Thanks I’m advance

[@StudioVeena]

Take the pole down and when you reinstall don't over tighten.

[@iiangelz9197]

Hi I know I'm late but, I am gonna buy a pole and I just wanna know. How can you tell how tall it is because my ceiling is actually kinda high so I wanna see how can I tell

[@AourinFox]

Is it alright to have it on the tighter side? Last time I loosened and tested it, all seemed well until it eventually started tipping one night. Just want to be safe!

[@StudioVeena]

Of course the pole needs to be tight enough where it won’t slip but pole need to be checked before every use . Plus if you have a pole that isn’t from a major manufacturer like xpole or lupit cheap poles are notorious for falling down no matter what you do!!! Cheap poles need to be checked even during your pole sessions.

[@morganlea5242]

I have a pole and it kind of wobbles when you push and pull on it. How do I get it to be sturdy? It also has a slight curve towards the top

[@locdbeayt4686]

Did you ever figure it out? I’m having the same issue

[@morganlea5242]

@@locdbeayt4686 I never figured it out and the pole fell twice, i think it was the tension ? And also I think the thread was off

[@erikawoods9461]

Mines does that in the center of the pole. If it’s the center, it’s jus wear n tear and most poles get wobbly after using.

[@leec2101]

it’s loose. tighten it

[@dannabiPARK]

First it was to lose so I tightened it and now it do not spin lol life struggles

[@LittleBea]

I've done all the steps. But sadly everytime i put on spin mode it loosenens. What am i doing wrong?

[@StudioVeena]

If the pole is not a high quality pole like Xpole or Lupit brand, continously loosening is a big issue. If it is one of those brands contact the company

[@StudioVeena]

By big issue I mean I see a lot of complaints about off brand poles not staying tight

[@miraarim]

Very helpful thank you!

[@georgiaxiou1154]

I need help I keep loosening it and it keeps spinning back what do I dooo?😢

[@georgiaxiou1154]

I have an expert x pole

[@StudioVeena]

If it's brand new and doing that contact xpole. If you've used it before and it's now doing that, chances are it's been overtightened at some point. :(

[@hi3042]

I can't be the only one who looked at the title without knowing and started laughing😇

[@reginaamado3043]

My pole keeps getting out of place what should I do? I'm desperate 😬 It doesn't fall out but usually the top moves out of place

[@vampvanity1931]

I have the same problem I’m so annoyed

[@shisea]

You should probably tighten it more and also check that it's even on all sides with a level

[@nikkimaraviglia]

Hey mine wobbles on spin in the center brand new, seems yours kind of does in the video. No issues when I'm on it or anything tho

[@StudioVeena]

Does it physically wiggle like it's loose on the joint or does it look warped? Or does it give in the middle when you push, that's normal. Some warping is also normal, my pole happens to be very warped and you can see this when I use spin mode.

[@nikkimaraviglia]

@@StudioVeena it seems warped lupit sounds like they're going to replace the tightening part and other longer part hopefully thay fixes it

[@jourdensander5831]

Super helpful -- thank you!

[@kissyboo0019]

What do I do if my pole is wobbly like it’s tight enough it holds me up perfectly but now it wobbles a little

[@sunjawinter9173]

check the screws at the bottoms are tight

[@NitrEmo]

So how much bending is ok cos my husband who is twice my weight did the push-pull thing and it went waaay bendy. I'm a bit worried that'll actually break the pole from the joints.

[@StudioVeena]

Flexing/bending isn't a problem and depending on the diameter and height of the pole and what it's made out of you'll get more or less flex. You're looking for sliding of the top or bottom.

[@syzygy4365]

​@@StudioVeenathis is kind of reassuring. I'm using a yaheetech now, and they're instructions are just awful. The pole is secure tension wise but it's very lose the middle. I'm so used to xpole it that uses their patent joints to keep the center of the pole from moving. I reached out to yaheetech about it and they just said to check the screws.. I was like what screws? There's only two screws I see and those just hold the top cover plate in place. This is damper on my plans for the evening. 😂🤦‍♀️

[@kimluo8506]

Is that some sort of a mat over carpet ? If yes , what is it ?

[@StudioVeena]

No it's a stage/floor we built. You can see more about that on my website. Find it in the Veenas tips section.

[@_dndelion]

how often do we tighten it? 30 mins after each use?

[@StudioVeena]

Depend on the brand of pole. My xpole almost never needs to be tightened, but I check it every time anyway.

[@charyaya.]

Dang my pole is definitely too tight! I’ve only had it up for a few hours and it won’t spin freely, it keeps bouncing back, can I loosen it and everything will be fine or?

[@StudioVeena]

It should be! It might be warped but you can still use a warped pole :)

[@victorianelson8398]

I really can’t make out if my pole is spinning freely enough or not do you have a place I can contact you on to show you?
