The final results of our 2023 Festive Fundraiser ‘Pull Ups Challenge’ are in! In December we challenged our members to complete 1000 Pull Ups collectively, while raising money for local Glasgow charity Refuweegee

As 2024 approaches, we've been working hard behind the scenes on some exciting changes to our schedule and memberships. From updating and expanding our current timetable to restructuring our membership tiers, and class levels.

Looking back on the past years and all the different hurdles I have needed to face, there are moments that broke me down and had me questioning everything. But, I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. Every day I feel lucky to be part of such a wonderful community, coming to a job that I feel not only proud to be doing, but also passionate about.

Thanks to these classes, I feel that I have become so much more confident and appreciative of myself. I actually love sport again, it just took me a while to find something that is right for me. And I found it in a place full of passionate, talented, strong, kind and amazing people

It’s no secret that the world of fitness, aerial and pole comes with its pains. Whether it’s callouses from the weightlifting bar, burns from the Silks or bruises from the Aerial Hoop, our journey to mastering these skills usually involves some degree of overcoming our own physical pain barriers and building up strength and a tolerance to discomfort.

Aerial brings me a lot of joy. ALT is a safe place to be me, and to come as I am: I feel accepted and supported. I love the challenge it brings to my life both physically and mentally; the more physically challenging the better.

I have always known that I wanted to have children, but due to the physical nature of my career as an aerial instructor I couldn’t imagine what being pregnant at work might look like…. Each trimester has brought its own challenges and needed adaptations.

Ahead of her upcoming ALT workshop, Pole Dancer and Instructor Katya Allcott explains how she stumbled across, and fell in love with the movement of Animal Flow…

Ahead of our upcoming student photoshoot with Aerial Arts Photography we asked the experts on their top tips to prepare for and get the most out of your session.

“I broke up with my boyfriend on the day of my first silks class…

When my friend Gabi had asked if I was interested in taking an aerial class together, I was immediately sceptical. Being neither strong nor particularly graceful, I could not imagine it going well.”

After a year since she left a commercial gym and moved over to ALT Fitness, I sat down with Polly for a good old cuppa and a chat. We created this interview style blog post reflecting on her journey as a PT and Hula Hooper so far.

It's been one whole year since I did my first aerial class and I need to write a wee love letter...

It's changed my life.

As a fairly active person and after 2 years of lockdowns, all I wanted was to get back to my regular classes, but I also found myself with a fresh energy and drive to give new things a go.

Yet despite the urge to step outside my comfort zone, I'd always had a script in my head that aerial was for other people. To me that meant ‘other people’ who are strong, who are flexible, who have had a long history of moving their body in similar way and have no fear.
