That's the goal! With an understanding of shoulder mount specific strength and conditioning, our team have helped hundreds of pole dancers nail their nemesis move. These programs are designed to help you nail yours. Whether that be a first time shoulder mount, a straight leg shoulder mount, or even a deadlift or aerial shoulder mount - With these training programs, you'll be able to tackle them all.

We have designed three different programs tailored to different level polers that are working towards different goals. Each program has carefully selected strength and conditioning exercises designed to help you build the specific strength and co-ordination required to achieve the next move within the shoulder mount progression.

Master the Mount (Lv 1) is suitable for high intermediate-advanced polers with a strong floor straddle working towards their first shoulder mount.

Strong Shoulder Mounts (Lv 2) is suitable for advanced polers working on their aerial and straight leg shoulder mounts.

Shoulder Mount Pro (Lv 3) is designed for high advanced to elite polers working on their deadlift shoulder mounts.

Master the Mount (Lv 1) requires participants to have a strong floor straddle (feet off the pole) on both sides.

Strong Shoulder Mounts (Lv 2) requires participants to have a confident bent-knee shoulder mount (from the floor) on both sides.

Shoulder Mount Pro (Lv 3) requires participants to have a strong aerial shoulder mount hold (feet off the pole) on both sides.

A shoulder mount is a high-intermediate/advanced move, so we recommend you are at least an intermediate level pole dancer before working on our shoulder mount training programs. We encourage you to review the pre-requisites of each shoulder mount training program to determine the right one for you!

There are 3 workouts each week, however you can choose to perform the workout 2 times per week and still receive great results. The program should not be performed more than 4 times per week.

If you don't have access to a pole, you can substitute the on the pole training session in the program each week with an additional off the pole training session.

In all three shoulder mount programs (Master the Mount, Strong Shoulder Mounts, and Shoulder Mount Pro), the focus is on progressive overload and evidence backed strength and conditioning principles.

We don’t get caught up in all the fluff of ‘cool’ instagram exercises and aim to not overwhelm you by ensuring there is consistency with exercises as what you would expect in a tailored 12 week gym program. Instead these programs are altered every two weeks in a progressive nature and we focus on progression between workouts by changing exercise parameters (reps, sets, weights, tempo etc).

Each workout is 30-45 minutes in length.

The shoulder mount programs require:

- Yoga Mat

- Dumbbells/Kettlebells of varying weight

- Medium to heavy theraband/resistance bands

- Yoga Blocks

- Massage ball

- Bench/chair

- Access to a pole that can be on static or spin

The e-courses are online education courses with lifelong access, which we encourage for all levels of pole dancer. These online courses provide you with the tools and knowledge that you need to understand trick-focused anatomy, biomechanics and cueing in pole dance to reduce the risk of injury occurring.

The training programs are 6 or 12- week exercise programs designed by our team of experts to help you improve flexibility, strength, or both in a progressive fashion. Access to these training programs is limited to 6 months from your program start date.

We encourage both offerings to pole dancers that are interested - to not just work towards physical improvement, but to learn and understand the whys and hows to implement good practice in class and training.
