September Trial Classes
Well hello you wonderful person you!
Firstly: flipping YESSSSS to you for checking us out for a sampler sesh this September to try pole, aerial, or even a bit of both! Exciting! Let’s do it!
For our Trial Sessions this September, we will welcome you at the studio for a little tour, and meet and greet. It’s a great opportunity to have a general general chat, meet our team here at Momentum and even see a short pole or aerial arts demo. We then dive into our taster session, learning poses, holds, spins and combinations on your chosen equipment. After the class, we have another 15 minute chinwag to answer any follow up questions you may have and the next steps to take if pole/aerial training is something you’d like to do more of 🙂
Here’s what’s important to us in trial sessions:
We want you to not spend any time worrying over making mistakes or looking perfect! Our trial classes are here for you to try pole, aerial arts, or indeed a bit of everything, in a laidback no pressure environment!
Our samplers are designed for anyone who has NEVER set foot in a pole or aerial studio before, and just wants to dip their toes in without any commitment or pressure.
Our trials are also intended to give existing Momentum-ers a chance to try a new discipline without having to opt for a full-blown class, or for you to accompany your mate who would like to start but appreciates taking the first step with a friend!
Check out our bespoke Sampler Session Guide for all you need to know, from what to wear, to what to expect, to how to book. In the guide, you can even watch studio tours and short videos of the types of moves we will learn!

Is this right for me?
We know what you think:
But will I be able to do anything?
Can I trust the equipment?
Will people laugh at me?
But I have no experience?
We will go as far as saying that we will GUARANTEE that you are going to surprise yourself with all the stuff you’ll breeze through in your first ever sesh!
People will fire you on and encourage you throughout, AND we all started somewhere so every person in the room knows exactly what you are going through. Really! Because everyone is there for the first time too 🙂
Our ethos is that you will start where, when and how you start and progress from there at your own pace if you fancy carrying on.
Pole and aerial arts are one of those where you are über-nervous beforehand, but once you get going, all that pent up energy gets released, you start the class, you laugh, you’ll feel proud and you’ll be super pumped and happy you gave it a go afterwards!
Pole and Aerial Arts classes are for everyBODY who is looking for a rewarding and uplifting way of working out that yes, definitely is tough at times but boy oh boy is it worth it! Every time, all the time!

All the Qs and As
What do I wear/bring?
Any gym, dance, yoga, general exercise clothing you feel comfy in and can move freely in. Our pole classes are in socks or barefoot, and please wear socks for aerial arts. Leggings are totally cool for your first pole sesh, and please ensure you wear full length or 3/4 bottoms for aerial arts.
Bring water and then you’re good to go!
Can I get changed?
Yes all venues have changing facilities.
What about parking and finding the studio?
See all of our venues here where you will find detailed descriptions on parking, venue addresses and access.
What happens in class and when I get to the studio?
Your teacher will know it’s your first sesh and come over and say hi and have a lil chat during our meet and greet. We will then have a studio tour and walk through the space together, answering any questions you might have. Your teacher team will then proceed to show you a short pole/aerial demo, how we teach and spot so you know exactly what to expect before we get going with class!
We then warm up altogether before the teacher guides you through our beginner plan, i.e. how to spin and hold yourself on the pole, get on a silk and in a hoop. You’ll then be making gorgeous shapes and short combinations! Plenty of rest in between goes and don’t forget to bring your phone as you will want to take photos of the cool stuff you’ll be doing. We then cool down together and have a short end of session Q&A before we leave you to enjoy the post-class buzz on the way home and check in with you via email on what happens next.
How tough of a sesh is it?
It is totally normal to feel sore the day (or two) after your first class as the workout is actually a lot more than what it feels like while you’re doing it (bonus if you ask us lol). Sometimes, there may also be some bruising or mildly sore hands from gripping the pole, hoop or silks. Again, totally normal and this stuff will be much less intense over time.
Is there an age limit?
Nope! Over 18s for our heels pole classes, and all others start at 16 with parental consent. We have polers and aerialists in their 50s and 60s who started while in their 50s and 60s.
Got ZERO experience and upper body strength. What now?
Actually, this is the perfect place to start. Because we require ZERO, and we really do mean it, ZERO, experience. We don’t teach pole and aerial because of upper body strength but in order to build it. We don’t teach pole and aerial because of existing experience, but to gain it!
Can I get more info?
Yes absolutely, please head here to grab our Sampler Session Guide with details on all of the above, plus even short videos of the type of moves you will be learning!
READY? Let’s do it!
