​
Also, how INCREDIBLE do they look!!
Ella
“Rise is a building full of happy people. I've made some new friends at Rise and each class we get to learn new tricks. I love Aerials because Meg is very funny & nice. She makes classes exciting.”
Monica
“My favourite thing about Rise is the support we get from each other and of course the amazing Meg! I have never been to a studio and felt so happy, it’s such a great environment and Meg truly cares and pushes us to be the best we can be.”⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ange
“For most of my life I've considered myself a tomboy, or one of the boys. Aerials has helped me explore both my natural femininity & masculinity through the combination of strength and flow. Rise Aerial Academy is filled with men and women of all shapes and sizes. Everyone is welcome and I always leave a session smiling and buzzing with good vibes. Your individuality is celebrated and creativity is encouraged. I have found my people and Rise is my tribe”⠀⠀⠀
Mel
“Coming from absolutely no sporting/gymnastics/dance background, aerial gave me an opportunity to become fit and confident, all while having fun! Rise has been such a nurturing, supportive and positive environment and this has allowed me to learn skills I have previously been afraid to try. This is a studio that fosters strength, creativity and amazing friendships.”
Rachel
“There is nothing not to love about Rise!! Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. It has pushed me above and beyond what I ever thought I was capable of. I highly recommend taking your first steps with Rise Aerial Academy."
Tyler
“Rise Aerial Academy has been such an amazing experience!! The people you meet and the things you learn is so rewarding and it makes you feel accomplished and proud of yourself. Aerial circus for me unlocks a whole other dimension of self expression and creativity and carries a sense of euphoria and beauty"
Duprice
“I have always had a fascination with circus and that’s strange. When I enrolled in aerials and took a chance on something that I didn’t think I would be any good at it ended up turning into one of the things that I’m most passionate about now. I knew from my first class this was something that I would grow in as a person and form relationships that I still have to this day. Aerials gave me the confidence to be who I am without being apologetic. After taking nearly a six-month break from aerials I came back and through Rise Aerial Academy I’ve regained my passion and I enjoy every moment of learning new skills and pushing my body beyond where I thought it could be. I’ve never been one to have many girlfriends but Rise has shown me that this is a strong group of women, students and instructors who care for one another and uplift each other to achieve their best. Now after recommending that a few of my friends take up the challenge of aerials I recommend you do the same. Don’t think just do it!”
Cass
“Rise Aerial Academy ignited my passion for aerials again and being in a place full of such positivity, support and care has made all the difference”â €
Dee
“Rise has renewed my love of Aerials. After having a bad chest injury and just stopping all aerial for an extended period I am finally excited to be back where I am. I fulfilled a 5 year dream of doing a photoshoot recently and am absolutely smitten with how far Meg and all my friends and class mates at Rise have gotten me.”
Kelly
“Rise aerial academy is such a supportive environment full of people who want to help you achieve your goals. I love aerials because it’s a sport where I can challenge myself to be better than I was yesterday.”
Danielle
“Rise Aerial Academy is the place where I am happiest. I am so lucky to be a part of such an incredibly supportive place where I can just be myself and do what I love. The progress I have made over the past year at Rise is insane and I know I’ll continue to grow so much confidence as an aerialist and a person with Meg and this amazing studio.”⠀⠀
Kacey
“After spending a year on and off training, focusing on my business as a Personal Trainer I realised how much I missed being in a studio, learning and performing. Then Rise Aerial Academy opened and it gave me a sanctuary for my love of aerials again. Rise has given me more than I could ask for. In only a few short terms of classes, I’ve felt stronger, more focused and more educated about aerials than ever before. Rise has the most supportive and fun environment, The structure, commitment and the diversity from owner Meg has been a massive factor in my progression and confidence in the air."
Sharni
“For me, aerials is this magical blend of exercise and creativity. I can be OTT dramatic and look super strong whilst I’m doing it! Through my training and performing I learned to love my body for what it is; I am grateful for what it can do, rather than what it looks like. Training at Rise Aerial Academy has reinvigorated my love for aerials. I felt really unmotivated for a while, but the Advanced class has challenged and pushed me to my limits in the best possible way. Plus the community is so kind, supportive, and fun!”
Abbie
“Absolutely love training at Rise Aerial Academy, having beautiful coaches & students makes training there such a fun & welcoming environment. Aerials is not just a hobby, it’s definitely a passion of mine. To be able to create beautiful things in the air is the best feeling”
