ABOUT MISSION STUDIOS
WHO WE ARE
We understand that taking the plunge with a Pole or Aerial class might make you feel a little nervous but there’s really no need. The most difficult bit will be walking through the door the first time, we promise! At Mission Studios, what you’ll find is a sociable place which is warm and welcoming to everyone, no matter what their size or fitness level. And men are welcome too! You don’t have to be fit or an athlete to do Pole or any of our classes. You can start exactly where you are and our experienced instructors will guide you right through your fitness journey, toning your body and building your confidence as you go. And you don’t have to wear skimpy clothes to take part. You can start in t-shirt and leggings and then change to shorts as you progress and feel more comfortable. We have beginner classes, mixed ability, drop ins, workshops, courses, semi-private classes with up to 5 people, and private 1 to 1 classes, so you’ll always find a class and a level that’s perfect for you. With any of our classes, you’ll lose weight, increase strength, strengthen your core, build muscle and tone, increase your fitness and you’ll gain new friends, helped by motivational, knowledgeable and helpful staff in a supportive atmosphere. You won’t find any judgement here. In fact, there’s a lovely community feel to our classes. We might not be family, but that’s definitely how it feels as we support each other, cheer each other on and push each other (safely and kindly, of course!) to reach the next level and the next. So don’t wait and put it off. Why not come along and try a class or two for yourself? Don’t worry, you can do this - whatever your fitness level!

Hayley's Bio
However, more importantly, it is meeting up with my team every week which brings me the greatest of happiness. Getting a break from the stresses of everyday life to burn some energy, help each other learn and have a laugh and a giggle with like- minded amazing people...no judgement...what could be better! Trust me, there is seriously no friends group like your Pole class group (and that’s speaking from experience). Although I have been addicted to Pole for many years, I can quite easily say I’m not the best...I have struggled here and there (particularly with flexibility) but that only gives me the motivation to maintain focus and master moves at my own pace! After all...it is your own journey and all body’s are different! Just remember that anything is possible if you practice enough! We have a wonderful team and community here at Missions Studios…inspirational and motivational people who will pull out all the stops to help you succeed. It isn’t a competition, we are simply all shine starts together. Why not join our family…?
Stacey's Bio
Over the years I have achieved a lot but also struggled with certain aspects in this sport, that’s normal we are only human, but this sport builds a community around you that keeps your spirits high and helps you stay motivated. I love attending our classes and having a laugh with our customers, organising nights out and different events to bring us all together as a team. Our classes are not just about fitness but also the social aspect and getting to know people with the same interests. Iv made many life long friends on my aerial journey and I hope to make many more. Maybe you could become part of our team too 😉
Rosie's Bio
I love Pole. Pole fitness, Pole dance whatever you want to call it, if you trying to lift your feet off the floor, spinning around a Pole or all the way at the top of a Pole hanging on by an elbow the feeling you get when you get a move you’ve been working on is the absolute best. At mission studios I am so lucky to be surrounded by such an inspiring, caring and supportive group of teachers and students alike. It’s my place to go when i need to laugh cry or burn off some steam. I’ve been a proud poler for over 10 years now and I don’t think I’ll ever stop.
Jane's Bio
I literally got hooked from the first lesson and was soon attending at least 3 classes a week. All the aerial classes we offer are so addictive, it’s amazing to see what you can push your own body to do. I love the feeling you get when you achieve a new move, even the ache the next day is an amazing feeling, knowing you have worked hard. Everyone in each class is always so supportive and you gain so many new friends. I love teaching for my Mission Studios family and helping my student, especially when your students learn new moves and you see there faces with joy, makes the job even more thrilling 💜
Michelle's Bio
Soon as I could I started doing the aerial classes too . I couldn’t get enough. I love them all.
It’s so addictive when your watching others in class and you think WOW I want to do that one day.... and I give you something to work towards. There is always some one there to give you that extra push to get you to your own personal goal.
Also the changes in your body and the strength you gain are amazing with out even realising you really exercising. I use to go the gym and all sorts of different classes but always got bored and never pushed myself, this was totally different! If I was having a good day or a bad day I always looked forwards to the classes. And even more since I have been teaching... I love all the girls that come and see them all as a friend.
I have met some of my best friends at mission studios and people that will hopefully be in my life forever.
We are all like one big family ❤️❤️
Alex's Bio
I retired from gymnastics around 17 years old and spinning on the Pole for the first time felt like I was flying again! After a few months of Pole I decided to join onto an Aerial hoops beginners course and I fell in love straight away. Since starting Pole I have gained so much confidence and strength and have found that I love channeling my inner Beyoncé every now and then 💃🏻. Not only have I been able to grow as a person, I’ve been able to transfer skills that I’d gained from being a gymnast to another amazing form of sport!! Through doing pole and hoop, I’ve meet some incredible and inspirational people and have made friends for life. Although everyone is on a different aerial journey, the amount support and encouragement from the instructors and class members feels like a second family. 💗
Megan's Bio
I had a friend with me for that first session but as soon as I got there I realised I would be fine on my own - the mission girls are so welcoming and make you feel at ease immediately. Over four years later, I’ve hardly ever missed a lesson and I’ve now tried all the aerial sports we offer. It is the highlight of my week, every week and I love the way it makes me feel. Not only do I have more confidence and achieve things I can be proud of, I’ve made so many friends that are definite friends for life. We have such a laugh together but also push one another to achieve more and more. I feel so lucky to be able to teach classes now and can encourage all my students to feel amazing!
Vicky's Bio
I wore leggings for about 4 months as I was too self-conscious but an extremely hot day forced me into shorts and I haven’t looked back. I never thought I’d have achieved what I have or a photo like this. I rarely miss a week, it is my ‘me time’ away from being mummy, sanity and fitness all in one. I love the confidence I’ve gained, love now being able to share what I’ve learnt with others and I love the pole family I’ve gained at Mission Studios 💖

Talents: Pole Fitness, Spinning Pole Fitness, Personal Training, Nutrition. Main teaching location: Brisbane or Online Coaching Comments: 12 years ago, attending Pole Classes started as sister bonding time… Today it is a huge part of both of our lives in so many ways. The ever growing repertoire of moves means there is never a dull moment or nothing to learn. Watching how rapidly your body changes in response to training is truly motivational and that overwhelming feeling of triumph when mastering that move only cements the addiction. However, more importantly, it is meeting up with my team every week which brings me the greatest of happiness. Getting a break from the stresses of everyday life to burn some energy, help each other learn and have a laugh and a giggle with like- minded amazing people...no judgement...what could be better!

Comments: Aerial fitness has been my life for over 10 years and I wouldn’t change a thing, and to keep me interested in something for 10 years sure shows how enjoyable and rewarding this sport is. It’s an amazing journey to see your body change and grow stronger but to also feel a sense of accomplishment when you master that move you have been working so hard on. Over the years I have achieved a lot but also struggled with certain aspects in this sport, that’s normal we are only human, but this sport builds a community around you that keeps your spirits high and helps you stay motivated.

Comments: I started pole because my friend wanted me to go to a class with her and I thought it would just be a one off. My youngest son was a 1 year old and I thought it was time to have some me time with my friend and it really was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I love pole.

Comments: I started pole fitness around 7 years ago. I can’t remember what made me want to try it other than being an ex gymnast and I saw it as a new from of gymnastics to try.

Comments: I started pole fitness about 6.5 years with a friend we use to do private’s because we feel more comfortable just in a small group.
When she stopped poling I joined the group classes and thought what was we worried about, everyone was so lovely and friendly.
Soon as I could I started doing the aerial classes too . I couldn’t get enough. I love them all.

Comments: I stared my aerial journey 2 years ago. My friend had started doing pole and said that I’d love it (safe to say she was right!) so the week after I started out in a mixed ability class. I absolutely LOVED it!! I retired from gymnastics around 17 years old and spinning on the pole for the first time felt like I was flying again! After a few months of Pole I decided to join onto an aerial hoops beginners course and I fell in love straight away. Since starting pole I have gained so much confidence and strength and have found that I love channeling my inner Beyoncé every now and then 💃🏻.

Comments: I had always said I want to do aerial fitness but never had the confidence to do it. I started pole when I was at sixth form, after seeing a poster for a free trial in my gym. I had a friend with me for that first session but as soon as I got there I realised I would be fine on my own - the mission girls are so welcoming and make you feel at ease immediately. Over four years later, I’ve hardly ever missed a lesson and I’ve now tried all the aerial sports we offer. It is the highlight of my week, every week and I love the way it makes me feel.

Talents: Pole Fitness. Main teaching location: Chesterfield. Comments: I never ever thought I’d be doing the moves I can today. I started after seeing a free taster session advertised on Facebook which was local to me. I ended up going on my own as none of my friends could make it but that didn’t matter, everyone was friendly and all beginners. I wore leggings for about 4 months as I was too self-conscious but an extremely hot day forced me into shorts and I haven’t looked back. I never thought I’d have achieved what I have or a photo like this. I rarely miss a week, it is my ‘me time’ away from being mummy, sanity and fitness all in one. I love the confidence I’ve gained, love now being able to share what I’ve learnt with others and I love the pole family I’ve gained at Mission Studios 💖
