Am I Too Unfit/Overweight/Old/Clumsy/Socially Awkward?

​​

I swear this is the biggest barrier to joining classes. Your brain telling you that you're all of the above and you will be the worst person in class. When I first started pole in 2009, I was absolutely terrible at it. I was the worst in class and I was the last to get every move. But I had a great time each class, laughing through my failure and celebrating my wins. You will be the same. Yes you might suck when you first start. Everyone sucks at everything when they first start, and if they don't then it's because it's not difficult enough.

 

Our classes are specifically tailored for beginners, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and can progress at their own pace. All you need is enthusiasm and the dedication to show up. Stop listening to that voice that says you're not good enough and you'll be amazed what you achieve.

I can talk all I want but the bottom line is it's up to you to take that first step and book a class. Check out our instagram and have a look at our videos and see which discipline makes you go "oh wow I want to do that". Then book that class.

​

I've listed the most popular classes above but we also have a wide range of other beginner classes you're welcome to join as a brand new person, including handstands, gymnastics, rope and trapeze. You can see the full timetable in our menu links.

​

I took that first step over over fourteen years ago and it changed my entire life. Now I'd like to change yours. See you in class!
