The verdict
A great X-Pole alternative
The Pole Stage is why we’re fans. It puts a proper static/spin pole, plus a silk point on some versions, anywhere you have floor space: the spare room, the garage or the garden. The Classic G2 home poles are a solid choice too.
What we love
- Quick Lock switches static to spin in under a second (Lupit’s claim)
- Pole Stage needs no ceiling and works indoors or out
- Integrated silk mount: pole and silks on one frame
- Home poles from beginner Classic to Diamond
- Crash mats, grip and aerial kit from the same brand
Watch out for
- A stage pole is a big spend and takes up floor space
- Priced in euros, so check UK delivery costs
- Fewer UK studios use Lupit than X-Pole
- The Stage comes with short or long legs, so check which suits your space

Our Lupit Pole Stages
Claudia’s is the Quick Lock Pole Stage in chrome, 45mm, with short legs and the integrated silk mount. One frame covers pole and silks, which suits someone who’s trained both for years.
Sharon’s chrome Pole Stage lives in her garage. It goes together in a few minutes and can come outside when the weather’s good. Luckily her husband doesn’t want a go.
What is Lupit Quick Lock?
Quick Lock is Lupit’s system for switching between spin and static. Instead of taking the pole apart, you flip the lock, and Lupit says it takes under a second. It’s available on the Classic G2 and Diamond G2 home poles and built into the Pole Stage. If you’re a beginner, it’s handy: learn on static, then flip to spin when you’re ready.
The Lupit Pole Stage: what to know before you buy
- Floor space. A stage pole needs room for its base plus your arm span and legs all round. Measure first.
- Short or long legs. The Stage comes in both. Check Lupit’s specs to see which suits your space and height.
- Silk mount. Some versions have an integrated silk mount, so you can train pole and silks on one frame. Always follow Lupit’s instructions and weight limits for aerial use.
- Indoors or out. You can take it outside, but store it dry (a garage works well, as Sharon will tell you).
- Set-up. It’s designed to go up in a few minutes, with no drilling and no ceiling fixings.
Compare the Pole Stage with other freestanding poles.
Lupit vs X-Pole
| Lupit Pole | X-Pole | |
|---|---|---|
| Based in | Slovenia | UK (with offices worldwide) |
| Static to spin | Quick Lock on many models | X-LOCK on the XPERT Pro |
| Freestanding | Pole Stage (optional silk mount) | X-STAGE, LITE and PRO |
| We own | Two Pole Stages | An XPERT |
Both are good brands. X-Pole is easier to find in the UK and more studios use it. Lupit’s Pole Stage with a silk mount is the one to pick if you want pole and silks without a ceiling rig. Read our X-Pole review.

Lupit Pole FAQs
Is Lupit a good pole brand?
Yes. Lupit is a well-established European pole and aerial brand. We own two Lupit Pole Stages: Claudia has the Quick Lock chrome version with the silk mount, and Sharon keeps hers in the garage.
Where is Lupit Pole from?
Lupit Pole is based in Škofljica, Slovenia, in the EU.
What is Lupit Quick Lock?
It’s Lupit’s system for switching a pole between spin and static with a quick flip of the lock, rather than taking the pole apart. Lupit says it takes under a second.
Does the Lupit Pole Stage need a ceiling?
No. It’s a self-standing stage pole, so it works in rooms with high, low or weak ceilings, in garages and outdoors. You do need enough floor space for the base and your moves.
Can you do aerial silks on the Lupit Pole Stage?
Some versions have an integrated silk mount, so you can hang silks from the same frame. Always follow Lupit’s instructions and weight limits, and use a crash mat.
Lupit or X-Pole: which is better?
Both are good. X-Pole is easier to find in the UK and more common in studios. Lupit’s Pole Stage is a great pick if you want pole and silks with no ceiling. See our X-Pole review.
