If you're like me, you probably have some fitness or dance equipment at home that doesn't get as much use as it once did. I love my X Pole and enjoy using it, but there are stretches of time when it sits unused. That got me thinking: why not rent it out and let others enjoy it while making a little extra income on the side? Enter Fat Llama – the peer-to-peer rental platform that's been a game-changer for renting out items I already own.

Why Rent Out an X Pole?

X Poles are high-quality, professional-grade poles used for pole fitness, dance, and even aerial routines. They're sturdy, easy to set up, and in high demand for people wanting to practice at home without making the investment upfront.

Renting out my X Pole not only helps others pursue their fitness goals, but it also puts money in my pocket. Whether someone needs it for a private session, a photoshoot, or an event, there's a good market for short-term pole rentals.

Fat Llama makes the process incredibly easy. Listing the pole took just a few minutes. I uploaded some high-quality photos, added a brief description, and set my rental price. The platform also provides insurance and security, so I feel confident knowing my X Pole is protected if anything were to happen.

Passive Income: My X Pole earns money even when I'm not using it.

Flexibility: I choose the availability and set my terms.

Community: I’ve connected with local dancers and fitness enthusiasts I wouldn't have met otherwise.
