I joined in 2022 and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The instructors are supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone progress, no matter their level or age. The studio has an amazing community vibe; students cheer each other on, celebrate wins together, and create such a positive environment. Even when life gets challenging, walking through those doors feels like stepping into a second home. The strength and confidence I’ve built here is unlike anything I ever achieved in a traditional gym. The variety of classes, especially silks and lyra, keeps training exciting and motivating. If you’re looking for a welcoming, uplifting place to learn aerials, build strength, and be part of a supportive community, Elements is the perfect choice.

Elements is a community for men and women of all ages and sizes. A place where you will be challenged physically mentally and emotionally in a safe space with like minded individuals who will support encourage and cheer you on. The 1st step is the hardest and walking through the door will change your life.

I spent years dreaming about learning aerials silks before I was finally brave enough to walk into Elements Lawnton - and I'm so glad I did. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. This studio has become my second home, and I've gained far more that just silks skills; my confidence has increased, I'm stronger, fitter and I'm part of a beautiful community of people that lift you up. If you're nervous to start, take the leap! You'll surprise yourself in the best way!

I have been a student of Elements Pole & Aerial Lawnton for I think about three years now. I've tried a few of their classes - pole, trapeze, silks, and (currently) lyra. I absolutely love that they have a variety of options and that I've been able to try different things. I love that even though I'm doing lyra at the moment, I can still attend pole dance classes at no extra cost. All of the teachers are incredible, all the students are lovely, and together this creates an extremely welcoming and important community which I am so grateful to be apart of. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely time on Saturday night with the girls from Elements Pole & Aerial for our Private Pole Party. We attended as part of our monthly Women’s Social Group where we try out different activities each month. We all felt so welcomed by the girls and each of us had a fun time with many laughs and we even managed to learn the choreography for a whole dance together. I can definitely feel that we worked out our muscles too this morning. Definitely recommend it for a fun night out!

My daughter has been attending Elements Aerial (youth) since it started in 2019. The coaches are incredibly supportive and passionate about what they do. They’ve nurtured Dee’s love for aerial silks from the very beginning, helping her grow in skill, strength, and confidence. It’s a wonderfully positive and inclusive environment for young people to express themselves through movement and aerial artistry.

Elements is amazing! I've been a member for a few years now and I'm only leaving because I'm moving more than 50kms away 💔 the friendships, skills, and confidence that I've built from going to elements is so special, these girls will be my life long friends. If you want to join a beautiful community, make friends, and get fit at the same time then definitely join Elements ❤️ I will miss you all terribly 😭xx

Having driven past for many, many years, when I finally stepped into the Elements Pole and Aerials Fitness studio I was blown away by the welcoming community and the facilities. We've been attending now for three years and love everything about this place. The high ceilings for aerial performances; the huge range of classes and workshops available; and the people. If you've been thinking about trying out a class, you'll be welcomed with knowledgeable instructors and a high vibing family of people all wanting to see you push the limits of what you thought was possible. There's also an ever growing schedule of Youth classes and from every young person I've spoken with, "it's so much fun!". Don't wait years like I did, come and try it out today!
