Pole Studios That Provide Grip Aids

Grip is the whole game in pole, and it changes with the weather, your skin and your nerves — so studios that provide grip aids (grip liquid like Dry Hands or iTac, chalk, or a grip spray, and often knee pads for floorwork) remove a real barrier, especially for beginners and anyone with naturally sweaty or dry hands. It means you can walk in and find what works without buying five products first. Most keep the grip aids by the poles; if slippery hands are what's holding you back, this is worth seeking out — and expect to experiment, since everyone's grip needs differ. The 14 studios below have real evidence of grip aids provided — from the studio's own site or from students' reviews — ranked by rating, with the student mentions shown as proof.

Amenities come from each studio's own website and students' reviews. Facilities and policies change; if grip aids provided is the reason you're choosing a studio, confirm it with them before your first visit.
