Not at all! OTPST is designed for pole athletes at different levels and stages of their training. Each program includes clear exercise demonstrations, and many movements can be adjusted to meet you where you are. Start with weights and variations you can control, move at your own pace, and build from there.

Nope! Every OTPST workout is completed off the pole, so you don’t need a pole or studio access. The workouts can be done at home or in a gym with a small amount of space and the recommended equipment.

OTPST workouts don’t require a gym, so they’re designed around minimal equipment: kettlebells or dumbbells, long resistance bands, mini bands, and your own bodyweight. If you train at a gym, you can use available equipment when appropriate—for example, substituting a cable machine for a long resistance band. Each workout lists exactly what you’ll need before you begin.

No. Each workout includes individual exercise demonstrations along with the prescribed sets, reps, and rest periods. This allows you to move at your own pace, choose the right weight, and take the rest your body needs instead of trying to keep up with a video in real time. Watch each demonstration before beginning, then use the workout page to guide you through the session.

OTPST is designed to complement your pole training—not compete with it. You can schedule strength sessions around your classes, rehearsals, and performances based on your energy and recovery needs. Treat pole as a training day, give yourself adequate rest between demanding sessions, and move through each program at a pace that works for your schedule.

Every workout in OTPST is designed for pole athletes- targeting core control, shoulder stability, hip strength, grip endurance, and the movement patterns pole doesn’t train. This isn’t random fitness. It’s intentional support for your pole journey
