RPole Freestanding Portable Dance Pole

Safety • Engineering • Innovation - Proudly Created and Owned by Pole Passion UK

 

Since its creation in 2009, the RPole has redefined what’s possible in portable pole fitness. 


Designed by instructors and precision-engineered in the UK, it was the first freestanding pole to combine lightweight portability, strength, and true safety requiring no ceiling fixings, no screws, and under-one-minute setup.

​

Tested by Brighton University to British Standard BS EN 957-1:2005, the RPole set the benchmark for safe, freestanding training equipment and those standards still guide our engineering today.

​

Engineered in the UK for Safety & Precision​

Production Update

Following Brexit, rising material costs, and COVID-related courier challenges, UK manufacturing became increasingly uneconomic.
With the recent introduction of international tariffs, production is currently paused.

​

To continue the RPole’s global legacy, Pole Passion is now seeking a manufacturing or licensing partner. Ideally an organisation with existing facilities to take on production and worldwide distribution.

 

Licensing & Partnership Opportunities

We invite expressions of interest from companies with a background in sports or fitness equipment manufacturing who share our commitment to quality, safety, and compliance.

​

Any future manufacturing agreement must:

  • Meet or exceed UK and European safety standards

  • Uphold precision engineering and quality control

  • Reflect Pole Passion’s focus on safe practice

 

With global brand recognition, proven sales, and an established reputation, RPole offers a unique opportunity for collaboration and international growth.
