PIGGY POLE & AERIAL FITNESS
To view Piggy Pole & Aerial Fitness' current timetable & to BOOK ON TO GROUP CLASSES, please download the Studio Booking App & search for Piggy Pole. Alternatively CLICK HERE but please be aware that the website can be glitchy at times & does not work well on mobile phones or devices (we are looking at changing booking systems soon!) so please use the app if using your phone.
Please contact Sarah direct to enquire about or to arrange booking a Private Lesson. Please note that these can also be done online over zoom which includes the recording being sent to you afterwards for future reference & so you can go back & revisit & practice in your own time! Please do not book into any of the named private slots that are already on the timetable on the booking system as these are already allocated to other students. Thankyou.
How will my visit to Piggy Pole & Aerial Fitness look?
Arriving at the Anytime Fitness Gym - Please try to arrive 5/10 minutes before your class start time & ring the doorbell which can be found on the front of the gyms front door. Your instructor will be down to let you in if there are no staff in the office to do so. If no one comes down (sometimes if it's busy or the music is loud in the gym the doorbell can't be heard upstairs in the studio space where the classes are held) then please drop a message to get in touch with your instructor in your classes group chat on whatsapp.
For Private Lessons in Witham please ring the buzzer & I will let you into the building. If you get stuck please give me a call on 07806623228.
Please only bring essential items (keys, water bottle, phone, grip aids etc) into the studio space with you & leave all other belongings in your car. For those who walk/use public transport please bring just a small bag. We have clean cloths & antibacterial cleaner for you to use, aswell as mini tripods for your phones. You are more than welcome to bring your own yoga mats if you would prefer but the gym does have mats for you to warm up on.
If you prefer to use your own yoga mats or resistance bands but don't have them yet, they can be purchased here along with grip aid such as liquid chalk. If you own your own aerial hoop & would like to bring it, you are more than welcome to use it in class but please drop me a message to arrange this in advance.
WHATSAPP CLASS GROUP CHATS:
We have a class group chat on Whatsapp for each group class which you will be asked if you would like to join. If you have not heard from us about this before your first class & would like to be added, please get in touch & we will be happy to add you. This is a way for you to get in touch with your classes instructor, a safe space for any questions you may have, class updates, support & socialising aswell as sharing any photos & videos that you may have taken of yourself & each other so that we can all celebrate your achievements.
WHAT TO WEAR:
For all classes: Please remove any jewellery that may catch in particular rings & bracelets/watches. The equipment particularly poles will scratch & may damage your jewellery & we will not be held responsible for this.
POLE: Shorts will allow you to grip the pole, tight fitting are preferable. A vest top will allow you the full use of your arms. We advise no socks whilst actually on the pole although you may want them for flow & dance work. For warm ups and cool downs a simple jogging suit, leggings or layers are handy for you and your muscles to stay warm!
**Please do not use any moisturisers or oils on the day of your pole class as this will make the pole slippery & can be dangerous for you & whoever shares your pole!**
AERIAL HOOP: For Aerial Hoop leggings and socks are advised. Vest tops or long sleeve tops if preferred are perfect, and for warm ups and cooling down we suggest layers for you to keep warm. Also if you have leg warmers (or even tubi-grips) they're great to bring aswell as they help to prevent the backs of your knees getting too sore. You can also wear 2 pairs of leggings if you like instead. If you don't have any of these extra bits don't worry! Not everyone needs them. It really depends on your requirement & everyone's different.
AERIAL HAMMOCK/SLING: The hammock/sling material although extremely strong, can easily be damaged by metal & sharp objects so it is vital that you remove absolutely ALL jewellery, including earrings, hair pins & clips & anything that could get caught & tear the material. This goes for your clothing too. It is recommended that you wear leggings with a long sleeve top for aerial hammock but please ensure that there are no zips on any of your clothing, particularly the leggings as a lot of brands like to put those concealed pockets on the back or sides with a zip! This is for your safety so please do adhere to these guidelines.
Your instructor will be checking at the start of every class so to save time please come along without jewellery on BEFORE attending the class. Thankyou for your cooperation on this.
PARKING:
The closest car park (Fairfield Road Car Park) is right behind the gym & the entrance to it is on your left as you drive down Coval Lane to join Parkway. It’s post code is: CM1 1TD. Please check their website for their current prices.
There is also a car park behind The Ship pub aswell as a few parking spaces actually on Coval Lane. You can also park down Viaduct Road for an hour up until 6pm and then after that time there’s no restrictions so if you can find a space you can park there for free in the evenings.
CLASS MINIMUM NUMBERS:
Please be aware that we require a minimum of 2 students to be booked on by 8pm the evening before the class for it to run so please bear this in mind when booking & try to book onto your class in advance to ensure it runs & so that your instructor is able to appropriately class plan.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
As per our T&Cs, we have a 24hour cancellation policy from the class start time. This means you can remove yourself from a class you’re booked on to on the booking system by going into the class & clicking remove & the credit will be returned to your account to be used for another time as long as it’s outside of that 24hr period. If you cancel within the 24hours period your credit is void. If this is the case & you’re definitely unable to make the class, please remove yourself from the class on the booking system so that someone else can able to book on & so that your instructor is aware of their class numbers. Thankyou
