I started pole fitness when Dr said I needed to build strength in my hips and I wanted to do something fun. Well it's certainly that. You'd be hard pressed to find a more supportive environment. Because of Body Synergy I went from struggling to walk cross the office at work to signing up for a pole fitness photo shoot! If you have ever thought you'd like to have a play or try something different come join the fun. You won't regret it. All shapes and sizes, all ages (I'm 46 now!!) are welcomed and supported by everyone.

Love this place, since starting pole fitness classes I have regained a lot of lost confidence, I've also been welcomed into a new family by everyone who teaches or attends classes. I've never been one to stick at exercise regimes and have zero flexibility but it doesn't matter I love going here, have great fun and have become a better person from being in attendance. If you are considering a fun way to get fit look no further

Lucille is an amazing teacher! Having been out of pole for 11 months I'd lost all my strength but after a few months of training with Lucille and Gemma I'm now stronger than ever. The environment in class is friendly and safety as a priority with loads of crash mats available - something which has really allowed me to thrive and build confidence. Can't recommend enough!

I have been coming to pole fitness classes here for almost 2 years and coming here was the best decision I've ever made. Pole fitness is a fantastic way to get in shape and build your confidence, and the best part is its so fun you forget you're exercising. My favourite thing about going to Body Synergy and how supportive everybody is. We all support and look out for each other whether you've been coming to class for a few years or if its your first day: everybody is a part of the family. If you want to try a new form of fitness while having fun in a comfortable environment, the Body Synergy
