Welcome to Flying Fantastic! If you've landed here, you're probably curious about aerial and slightly unsure whether it's for you. That feeling is completely normal, and for what it's worth, almost everyone who walks through our doors for the first time feels exactly the same way!
What they don't expect is how quickly that changes. Within a few classes, the movements that looked impossible start to feel within reach, muscle memory kicks in and your body figures out what to do in ways your head couldn't plan for. Most people walk out of their third class having done something they genuinely didn't think they could do. That moment is why we built our New Customer intro offer the way we did.
Our Intro offer is three classes for just £60. That's £20 per class. In our experience, three classes gives your body enough time to find its feet, and gives you enough time to find what you love. Use them however makes sense to you, whether that's trying three different disciplines, exploring both our studios in Bankside and Peckham, finding an instructor whose style clicks with you, or just getting comfortable before committing to anything more.
You don't need to be strong, flexible, or fit to walk in. You just need to show up! We teach everyone from complete aerial newbies to professional aerialists, and our beginner classes are built for people who have never done anything like this before.
One other thing. When setting your account up in the Mindbody booking system, wed encourage you to leave the notifications for Class management and Marketing ON. We promise not to spam you, but you will receive discount codes and special offers from time to time. You'll also find it easier to manage your reservations and bookings.
"I've been coming along to Slings classes at Flying Fantastic for about 3 months now, having never done anything similar before. After just 3 months I'm already achieving things I couldn't imagine doing when I started, and it feels amazing."

"I came across some aerial videos on Instagram and had a light bulb moment. For the last 4 months I've been flying and it saved me from a dark hole I never thought I'd get out of."
