The most important things to consider when setting up X-Poles, especially in a busy studio setting are:

1. Do not over tighten your poles to the ceiling or block mount

The pole should be tightened to the ceiling just to the point where it doesn't shift when giving the pole a hard shake back & forth.

Then as long as the adjuster locking screws are tightened firmly on the flat portions of the adjuster rod and their tightness is maintained, it is impossible for the pole to unwind down the adjuster rod and become loose from the ceiling.

If the pole is over tightened it puts a lot of strain on the individual pole pieces & X-Joints and causes the pole to have a "jerky" flex which could lead to poles bending or flaring

2. Tighten your X-Joint screws very firmly & maintain their tightness

Even if you're not the one that initially set up the poles in your studio or continues to install/uninstall them, it is important to know how they work. Please watch the below video for more information:

3. Carry out proper routine maintenance on your X-Poles

Just like any fitness equipment, X-Poles require routine maintenance. The great thing about X-Poles is that the maintenance is very quick and simple!! Please watch the below video for more information:
