How do you know when you’re ready to move up to the next level? When you’re ready to graduate to the next level here is what happens:
1. Your Instructor will Graduate You
Your pole instructor is the best guide to when you are ready to move up. Our goal is to ensure you will be successful and safely train in the next level. Instructors use a guide to graduate students that is a combination of prerequisite skills, number of classes attended, mastery of the curriculum, and each student’s individual strengths.
2. Your WellnessLiving Account will be Updated with a new Belt.
WellnessLiving uses “belts” to identify which level you are training at. For example, if you have a Level 2 belt, you should be registering for Level 2 classes.
There are two types of belts:
- Leveled Pole Classes – Ranging from Level 1 to 7
- Heel Classes – Includes Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
Your belts can be viewed on the WellnessLiving site. Click on ‘My Profile’, and see your belt status under Rewards on the right side of the page. At this time, the belts cannot be viewed on the WellnessLiving Achieve app.
3. Celebrate with a Fun Photo!
Take a photo with one of our fun sashes (our version of belts) to celebrate your accomplishment! We hope as you continue your pole journey you feel proud of how far you have come and enjoy the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what the prerequisite skills are for the next level?
Ask your instructor what prerequisites they are looking for to advance you to the next level. Keep in mind that the prerequisite tricks are only one component of determining readiness for advancement.
I have been stuck in the same level for a while. What can I do to move up faster?
Our team is here to support your pole goals! If you’re feeling stuck, talk to your instructor on what you can do in your training to prepare yourself for higher levels. This might include adjusting your training schedule or focusing your practices in a particular area. Don’t forget that everyone’s journey is different and students are encouraged to move at a pace that fits their body, schedule, and budget.
Where can I see my current belt?
You can see your current belts on the WellnessLiving site under My Profile. Your Belts can be found on the right side of the page below rewards. Below is a screenshot of a sample. Please note at this time you cannot view your belts on the WellnessLiving Achieve mobile app.
The dates of when I graduated in the past don’t seem quite right. Should I have this corrected?
Since we have recently implemented the belt feature on WellnessLiving, existing students have been grandfathered into levels. This means that some long standing students may have inaccurate dates they graduated. Rest assured this does not have an impact on future graduations or registrations in any level.
I have attended the prerequisite number of classes to advance. Why have I not graduated?
The prerequisite number of classes is a guideline only, and not the only factor in determining if you’re ready to graduate. Your instructor takes into consideration your comfort level with the curriculum, prerequisite skills, and your individual strengths when evaluating your readiness.
