Pole and Aerial Fitness

About Us

Pole and Aerial Fitness is a society dedicated to providing opportunities to individuals from any level of athletic background to have fun, get strong and gain confidence.

Our main goal is to offer a safe space to get fit in an exciting way that is not limited by your shape, size, fitness level or skill level. We offer a fun, judgement-free environment where everyone is welcome and are actively encouraged to grow and take part.

We are partnered with the wonderful GemsTone Fitness Studio based in Egham. They offer classes for both pole and the aerial arts, with amazing instructors to teach members with varying levels of experience.

This is a brilliant opportunity for anyone wishing to get fit, improve their confidence and is a great way to meet like-minded people!
We would love for you to join our family!
