At Cloud Aerial Arts, they’ve managed to create a fitness space where you can leave gym anxiety at the door and focus on hanging out—literally. We’re not kidding.

Their class structure is a winning formula: warm-ups to get you moving, strength-building moves on the equipment, and flowing transitions that make you feel like an acrobat. It’s a full-body workout without the dreaded “c-word” (cardio). 

Lockers are available for securely stashing your belongings, so you can focus on perfecting your form instead of worrying about your bag. For those who like to stay hydrated, water fountains are conveniently placed for refilling bottles.

Taster sessions are just £5, a steal considering the quality of instruction and the fun factor. The intro courses are reasonably priced, too, making it easy to commit without feeling like you’re signing up for a second mortgage.

Of course, popularity comes at a price, and classes here fill up fast. We recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment—this is one club you won’t want to miss out on.

Great!

“Amazing space with a great variety of classes offering something for everybody.”

This women-only space offers a judgment-free zone where you can ditch the monotony of standard workouts for something a bit more, well, airborne. 

Let’s talk classes. The Aerial Hoop sessions are perfect for beginners, offering a catalogue of stunning moves that’ll have you channelling your inner acrobat in no time. 

If you’re ready to level up, Aerial Silks will put your grip strength and stamina to the test. Their amazing instructors like Josie start with “the hitch,” a beginner-friendly knot in the silks that lets you focus on movement patterns without feeling like you’re free-falling.

The studio also offers amenities like lockers for secure storage and a lounge area where you can unwind before or after your class, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.

Their Commitment plans start at £44 per month for six months, with the added bonus of a free open session each month—ideal for practising those newly learned moves. 

It’s worth noting their strict cancellation policies (no exceptions!), but we think the perks make the commitment worthwhile.

Happy!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about GFFDamian Dance Studio, it’s that they’re serious about helping you fly—literally. 

We love how they start with their Foundation courses, which are designed for complete beginners. These five-week sessions are perfect for easing into aerial life, offering a taste of everything GFF has to offer—hoops, silks, ropes, hammocks, and straps. 

The real magic at GFFDamian lies in its instructors, who are passionate about their specialised classes and bring a wealth of experience to the studio. Many of them are working professionals in the dance and entertainment industry.

GFF’s pricing plans are as flexible as their classes. Drop-in sessions start at £6.67, while commitment plans offer discounts for those ready to take aerial life seriously. For example, an Adult Pole & Aerial 6-class pass costs £60, bringing the per-class price to £10.

Their advanced classes may require prior experience. While this ensures students are well-prepared to tackle more challenging moves, it could be a hurdle for those who wish to dive straight into higher-level techniques.

Nova Heights Pole and Aerial Studio blends strength, flexibility, and a touch of flair, making pole and aerial fitness as accessible as it is fun. We love how Nova Heights caters to everyone, from total beginners testing the waters to seasoned aerialists looking to perfect their form.

Individual drop-in classes start at £9-£11, while commitment plans offer excellent value for regulars. For example, their Nova 4 plan (£38) allows students to attend four classes within 28 days, while the Nova 12 (£93) offers up to 12 classes in the same time frame. 

We appreciate how Nova Heights prioritises student comfort and safety. Arriving 5 to 10 minutes early gives you time to get settled, and the studio provides lockers for storing your belongings. 

That said, some classes can fill up quickly, especially during peak times. If you’re eager to secure a spot, booking in advance is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Great classes!

“Great classes taught by talented, professional and caring instructors. Highly recommend.”

Good value

“Beautiful studio and wonderful teachers. The classes are really good value for money, too. I love this place!!”

If mainstream gyms make you yawn and you’d rather work out to alternative beats than top 40 pop hits, Polefire HQ is your kind of place. 

Plus, with their instructors like Ruby, the Hula Hoop Hottie, you’re in the best hands. Ruby’s expertise in cool, creative shapes and her combined strength and flexibility make her a fantastic guide for mastering hoop moves.

Their drop-in classes cost £12, making it easy to give aerial or pole fitness a whirl without committing to a long-term plan. For those who can’t get enough, the 4-class pack offers a bit more structure while still keeping things casual—it’s valid for 30 days from your first registration.

The dark studio setting, combined with cheesy and offbeat music, creates a space where students can let loose, laugh, and truly be themselves. We also love that it’s a haven for people who might not feel at home in traditional fitness environments.

Great teachers!
