FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions

Intermediate/ Low Advanced: should be working on inverts or working on aerial inverts, can be working toward Aysha and handsprings/ shoulder mounts/ aerial inverts.

If you can handspring & Aysha VERY comfortably but are happy to work with others at an intermediate/ low advanced level, you are welcome to join and options can be given due to the group being extremely small (only 6 participants). Please see the workshop descriptions and instructor information before making your decision! This is not going to be an Elite/ Pro workshop, however private lessons will be available with Justine if you want to work on deadlifts or spatchcock, for example.

Prices are in $AUD by default however you can toggle to your currency by choosing from the list in the dropdown menu near the cart icon in the header menu at the top of your screen.

Your eco-friendly, tropical bungalows & villas are at Captain Coconuts (just 4mins walk from our pole and gym venue!) Check it out HERE

Contact the hotel directly HERE to book additional nights. You will most likely need a night on mainland Lombok or Bali before getting your ferry across to Gili Air so why not tag on a few days either side in BALI/ LOMBOK (both have airports!) and you will need to fly out from one of these airports too after. There are so many islands to discover in Indonesia we are sure you will want to see more of them!

Currently we are only offering packages that include accommodation and all the activities as a package, so you would need to stay at Captain Coconuts. 

  • The fastest, most common and comfortable way to the Gilis is by the various fast boat companies located in Bali, which leave from Padang Bai harbour, on the west side of Bali. The journey takes approximately 2 hrs depending on weather conditions and most fast boat operators also offer transfers from the main tourist areas of Bali to Padang Bai included with their ticket price (but we have a fabulous private driver if you would like your own car so get in touch we can help organise this connection for you!). Prices vary depending on High and Low season. 
  • A slow ferry (approx 4 Hrs) also departs from Padang Bai, however, you will land in Lembar, which is in South Lombok (see map below). From there you will need to find a taxi or private shuttle service to Bangsal Harbour to make your final crossing to Gili Air.

  • The other option, is to fly into Lombok airport, and get a transfer to the harbour and a small local boat from Bangsal harbour across to Gili Air (very short boat ride this way if you prefer the flying option and less water travel!).

No, we only offer the camp as a package including activities, pole workshops, accommodation and the calisthenics/ gym & ice baths + photoshoot as we are creating a TRAVEL EXPERIENCE of culture, community, connections and wellness; that includes pole, but is not just about a pole class at a studio.

Yes! 5 month payment plans are now available.  Select Paythen Payment Plan at checkout (a 3% fee is applied).

We are not offering room shares to unknown participants on this camp – if you want to come with a friend you can book the whole room as 2x TWIN in a KING or 2x VILLA polers to book the entire villas (you can also add a non-poler as a DOUBLE add on in both QUEEN or KING bungalows, but you need to book the whole room on this camp).
