Why Kids Classes?
At Pole Fitness with Simone, we’ve spent years cultivating a space where students can experience the joy of aerial fitness, build strength, and discover a sense of empowerment. Specializing in pole fitness and aerial hoop for adults, we’ve seen our community grow and thrive through the incredible benefits of these unique disciplines.
But in 2024, we took an exciting leap forward by expanding our offerings to include Kids Circus Classes and Circus-Themed Birthday Parties.
These classes introduce children to the fun and fitness of aerial arts, giving them the opportunity to experience a variety of aerial equipment, including the hammock, aerial hoop, trapeze, aerial silks and pole.
Our Kids Circus Classes are designed for children ages 6-15 years and offer a one-of-a-kind experience that builds not only strength and flexibility but also critical social and psychological skills.
The Umtimate Circus Skills Class
What makes our Kids Circus Classes unique is the variety. We train on three different aerial disciplines every week, including the hammock, aerial hoop, aerial silks, trapeze and pole, ensuring that every class is fresh, engaging, and filled with new challenges.
The structure of the class provides a perfect balance of warm-up, skill training, and cool-down. We spend 15 minutes on each piece of aerial equipment, giving them a chance to explore different skills and find what they love most.
This variety keeps children engaged, stimulates their interest, and provides a rich, well-rounded experience in the world of circus arts. And because we train with such a wide range of equipment, we’ve noticed that many children with additional needs feel particularly drawn to our classes—they thrive in the stimulating, yet supportive, environment.

Benefits of Aerial for Kids
Aerial fitness is far more than a workout; it’s a way to nurture mental and emotional growth. For our young students, the benefits are wide-reaching and profound, encompassing everything from increased confidence to better physical health:
- Social Interaction & Teamwork: Children learn to work together, make new friends, and be part of a supportive community. This fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie, crucial for social development.
- Improved Communication Skills: As kids engage with instructors and peers, they develop clearer communication, which translates into enhanced social interactions both in and out of the gym.
- Sense of Achievement: Learning and mastering new aerial skills helps boost self-esteem and gives children a sense of accomplishment, contributing to a more positive outlook on life.
- Better Sleep & Concentration: Physical activity like aerial fitness encourages healthier sleep patterns and improved focus during school and everyday tasks.
- Stress Relief & Confidence Building: Aerial arts offer a fun, non-competitive environment where kids can unwind, build their confidence, and reduce stress levels.
The Physiological Benefits of Aerial Fitness for Kids
Aerial fitness doesn’t just benefit the mind—it’s a full-body workout that promotes healthy physical development:
- Improved Cardiovascular Health: Aerial fitness helps reduce the risk of heart disease by promoting heart health, reducing high blood pressure, and encouraging overall cardiovascular fitness.
- Stronger Bones & Muscles: Regular aerial training stimulates bone growth and density, while helping to develop strong, flexible muscles that are vital for a child’s growth.
- Enhanced Motor Skills & Coordination: Through our diverse aerial training, kids improve their motor skills, coordination, and judgment, setting the foundation for better physical performance across all activities.
