Let's Make Sure This Is Right For You

This is for you if

You have a pole at home or studio access you can book most weeks.
You can train three times a week, forty minutes a session.
You have tried to teach yourself from clips and stalled somewhere around the climb.
You want someone to watch your footage and tell you what is actually wrong.

It is not, if

You are already inverting cleanly. Start at the intermediate program instead.
You are recovering from a shoulder or wrist injury that is not cleared yet.
You want choreography to perform. This is technique and strength, not routines.
You want it done in a month. Twelve weeks is the honest number.
THE CURRICULUM

Four phases, twelve weeks

Nothing is skipped and nothing is padded. Each phase earns the next one — which is why the invert holds when you get there.

WEEKS 1–3

Ground & grip

Hands, thighs, and the two grips everything else is built on. You spin before you climb, and you spin properly.

Grip strength and skin conditioning
Front hook, back hook, fireman
Landing without dropping the weight
WEEKS 4–6

The climb

Most self-taught dancers stall here because they climb with their arms. You will not, because week four is entirely feet.

Foot lock, both sides, until it is boring
Seated positions and the sit-to-stand
Controlled descent, every single time
WEEKS 7–9

Strength to hold

The off-pole phase nobody posts about. Three weeks of core and shoulder work that decides whether the invert is safe.

Hollow body, dead hang, scapular work
Chopper drills on and off the pole
Hip hold, then hip hold with one hand
WEEKS 10–12

Upside down

Invert, hold, exit, repeat — then film it. Week twelve is a submission, and you get it back marked.

Tuck invert from the floor, then from a spin
Safe exits from every angle you might panic in
Your first invert on film, reviewed by Nikki
Start week one

What comes with it

All of it is included at the sale price. None of it is an upsell later.

Two camera angles

Every move filmed from the front and the side, so you can see where your hips actually are instead of guessing.

Conditioning track

A parallel strength program you run on the days you are not on the pole. No gym and no equipment beyond a mat.

Monthly form check

Upload your footage, get it back with timestamps and what to fix. This is the part that replaces a studio instructor.

Printable week plans

One page per week telling you exactly what to train and in what order. Stick it on the wall next to the pole.

The student channel

Everyone in the program, in one place, mostly posting bruises and wins. Nikki is in there on weekdays.

Lifetime access

Yours for good, including anything we re-film. Come back to week seven in two years if you want to.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Nikki Vale

Nikki opened RIOT eleven years ago in a room with two poles and a sound system that cut out. She has taught the beginner-to-invert progression roughly four hundred times since, which is the only reason it is this specific.

She teaches strength before tricks, marks every form check herself, and will tell you plainly when you are not ready for the next thing. Most students say that is the part that got them there.

“Six months in I got my first invert on film. I'd been trying on my own for a year and getting nowhere near it.”

Fourteen days, no questions. Sale purchases included. Train the first three weeks, and if it is not what you wanted, email us and it is done.

Before you buy

Do I need a pole at home? +

Yes, or studio access you can book most weeks. The first three weeks are conditioning and floor drills you can do without one, so there is time to sort it out after you enrol. We list the two mounts we recommend inside week one.

I have no upper body strength at all. Is that a problem? +

No — it is the assumption the program is built on. The conditioning track starts at dead hangs and hollow holds, and weeks seven to nine exist entirely to build what the invert needs. Most people arrive unable to hold their own weight.

How much time does it take each week? +

Three sessions of about forty minutes, plus two short conditioning blocks you can do in front of the television. Under three hours a week. The week plans lay it out so you are never deciding what to train.

Does the sale price change what I get? +

Not one thing. Same lessons, same form checks, same access, same refund window. The only difference is the number you pay and the fact that it goes back to full price the minute the countdown hits zero.

Can I start in January instead? +

Buy now at the sale price and start whenever you like — access is lifetime and nothing expires. Plenty of people buy in the sale and press play on the second of January. The price is the thing with a deadline, not the program.

What if it is not for me? +

Fourteen days, no questions, sale purchases included. Email us and it is done. We would rather refund you than have you sitting on twelve weeks you are not training.

Twelve weeks from now

You are either upside down on film or you are still watching clips and guessing. Half price until the first of December.
