Bodybarre Manchester Pole + Burlesque + Aerial Studio

Fantastic experience: The team that run the place are amazing. Creative, fun and made my event perfect.

Fantastic experience: It's amazing. Really worth to try. I felt there very welcome and I gain confidence. Super friendly training. And accurate to my strength and body weight. I am coming back. 100%.

Fantastic experience: This studio is brilliant. I started aerial hoop as a total beginner in a mixed ability class, but it’s not intimidating at all and the instructor Penny always has separate stuff from the advanced routines for me to try. I have so much fun and look forward to each session.

Fantastic experience: Amazing aerial yoga experience. Felt so good after the session. The whole stress leaves your body

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend a class at Bodybarre highly enough. Kaz, Flo, & Penny are wonderful, patient, friendly teachers who naturally make sure you're enjoying the class start to finish (even when the more challenging moves come up).

Fantastic experience: Booked a surprise for my friends 40th celebration. They were a little dubious but we absolutely loved it! Our instructor was so patient and fun, it was just a brilliant hour and we learnt so much! I’ll be back next time I’m in Manchester for certain! Xx

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. Kaz is hardcore. And i really love the way she teaches. Penny and Flo are both amazing too. It definitely deserves 5 big fat stars! Jo x

Fantastic experience: We went to a fab burlesque class with the lovely Flo and to a raunchy wild show! Everyone had a brilliant time and Kaz was so helpful and a joy to communicate with! We absolutely recommend Bodybarre. Thanks again for a great time

Fantastic experience: All round fab group !

Fantastic experience: I started at bodybarr jan 2023, its been on my bucket list for a long time. I cant get enough of the place. I have lessons weekly with Flo on beginners pole and also 1-1a with Kaz , I cannot rate Body Barr high enough. I had never touched a pole before I entered Bodybarr ( I am 49) Kaz , Flo and Penny are amazing. You feel at ease from the moment you enter the dance studio. They are professionals in there field and take every persons experience as if it was their own. I feel so privileged to have a master trainer in pole teaching me weekly, I have also started my 7 year old on the sunday kids classes. You walk in as a no one.. and after 1 session with the team you walk out full to the brim with a confidence you cant buy anywhere.. Its magical. Kaz, Flo and Penny are my POLE IDOLS. I hope I my 7 year old grows up ' TO BE LIKE THEM'

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. I immediately felt at ease and welcomed. This is my third month coming to Bodybarre and I always leave with a smile.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I started pole towards the end of 2018 after I’d been meaning to for years and just never had the confidence and very soon I was hooked. The instructors are so friendly and work very hard to ensure that the studio is clean and the classes are of a high quality. Never in a million years would younger me have thought that I’d have the confidence and strength to do this and it’s all thanks to Kaz Penny and Flo Nowadays I train at two studios (one of them being bodybarre) and visiting bodybarre is always a highlight of my week! I’d give more stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Bodybarre is the most incredible place. There's always a huge amount of different classes on offer, with new classes being added to the timetable regularly - there is something for everyone. Everyone at the studio is so welcoming, regardless of your weight, ability, gender, etc; all are welcomed with open arms and without judgement. It's wonderful to be able to go on a journey of discovering what you and your body are capable of, with the most supportive classmates and, of course, the best instructors you could ask for. Kaz, Penny, and Flo are all incredibly talented, supportive, and encouraging instructors. At Bodybarre, you are in safe hands throughout your pole/aerial/dance/fitness journey. ♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional studio with fab instructors!

Fantastic experience: I started training with BodyBarre way way way back in 2008 I think! It is by far the friendliest class I've been to and all the trainers are all so talented and make you feel absolutely gorgeous and strong no matter what your ability. Its also a stunning studio ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've been doing classes with this company for over 10 years now, and have been coming to studio ever since it opened. I love the space and always feel empowered and confident here. I've met some great friends and feel very welcome. It's a great place to get fit and to feel strong in body and mind.

Fantastic experience: Love the fabulous Bodybarre studio and amazing teachers. They love what they do and challenge us all to push ourselves. Fab-u-lous!!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. The team is great and makes you feel wonderful. :)

Fantastic experience: An amazing place with lovely, supportive staff! I had never tried anything like these classes before but the staff were welcoming, the classes well planned, and everyone there was friendly and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Started pole here to try something new and meet new friends in Manchester. Didn't realize I'd get completely hooked. Such a friendly, welcoming studio with lovely students and an awesome way to get strong having fun and laughing. The teachers are awe-inspiring women. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Started my pole journey 6 months ago - really fun and engaging sessions, you always learn something new and the instructors (Flo, Kaz and Penny) are all really kind and encouraging, would recommend to anyone !

Fantastic experience: Penny, Flo & Kaz encourage and empower you. It is great what can be achieved by their guidance!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to bodybarre for almost a year now! Every lesson I have been to I have thoroughly enjoyed! Everyone has been so kind and helpful! X

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great time every time I’ve been here! Everyone’s so friendly and the classes are great. It doesn’t matter what level you are as there’s a range of classes for everyone. I always feel welcomed every time. <3

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing Myself and my daughter attend classes here and we can’t get enough. All the girls are so lovely and very professional. The studio atmosphere is super cozy and not intimidating at all. I’ve been to a few of their burlesque shows and definitely recommend for a fun pre night out show.

Fantastic experience: Best pole classes in the greater Manchester area. Kaz, Penny and Flo really know their stuff. I felt empowered right from the start when I couldn’t even lift myself up the pole. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: No other pole Dancing studio can compare! Love this place, and all the amazing instructors!

Fantastic experience: Me and a friend did the beginners pole-fitness class ran by (the amazing) Flo last month and just had the most amazing time. The most welcoming space and freeing environment. Wanted to book on for another course but fully booked up which is not surprising with how incredible it is. Will definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, the girls are so friendly and create a really nice atmosphere

Fantastic experience: I adore coming to Bodybarre, it's such a positive welcoming safe space, and i feel like i'm hanging out with a bunch of friends which i really appreciate! Flo Penny and Kaz are some of the nicest girls i've ever known, they are so supportive and encouraging <3 And I love that it's one person per pole (please never change this!)

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a year now after many years of wanting to but not having the confidence. It's been such a positive experience and has fast become my fav exercise. Feels like a very safe and encouraging environment x

Fantastic experience: Call me biased, but bodybarre is my happy place. A lot of effort goes into ensuring a safe, sparkly welcome for all who enter those doors. A range of classes for students of all abilities from the absolute beginner! Whether its hanging upside down from a hoop, a silk, a trapeze or a pole or a strut across the glittered floor in burlesque, many laughs are had here and many fitness goals reached.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a student at bodybarre for just over a year. The instructors are so friendly, and the classes are inclusive of all skill levels. i have gained so much confidence and I am so much stronger now! They have an incredible range of classes on offer, you can always find something that you fancy! I have recommended bodybarre to friends and work colleagues, if you ever fancy doing any sort of aerial classes I would always recommend this studio!

Fantastic experience: Great studio, amazing teachers! Patient, encouraging and inspiring!!

Fantastic experience: The most amazing pole gym. Kaz, Penny and Flo are such wonderful instructors and always help everyone to feel so confident. Cannot recommend the studio enough!

Fantastic experience: Love coming to classes here! The studio is such a vibe and puts you in the right frame of mind. There's such a wide range of classes to suit different levels and tastes and all the instructors are lovely and down to earth! Would highly recommend ☺️

Fantastic experience: I've attended this studio for nearly 4 months now and have loved every second of it! I've been taught mostly by Flo who has been fantastic at teaching my beginners & improvers classes. It was admittedly quite intimidating starting pole as a guy, but the instructors at the studio have been nothing but lovely. Kaz's warm ups always get me fired up and I've never felt more worked out than after Penny's dumbbell class! Give it a go! It takes a lot of sweat, bruises and more sweat, but you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Bodybarre for a few years now, the only place that’s ever made exercise enjoyable for me! The instructors are welcoming and lovely, they take the time to get to know you and your strengths and weaknesses and they make so much effort to help you develop Recently I have had a back injury that’s limited what I can do in class and Penny has made sure that she has alternative moves for me to do to build my strength back up I’d give 10 stars if I could!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Bodybarre for nearly a year, having shopped around Manchester for the right studio for me after moving. The space is so fun to learn in, the instructors are always upbeat, helpful and I have seen so much progression in my abilities since joining. It is affordable and in a great location in Manchester. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking in Manchester.

Fantastic experience: Bodybarre is incredible and I genuinely cannot recommend enough. I have wanted to get into pole fitness for a number of years and kept putting it off, i found Bodybarre to be the perfect place to start as a beginner, there are SO many classes to choose from at all levels of ability. The instructors are all absolutely amazing and really take the time to nurture you and help you improve. I fell in love with pole in my very first class here and cannot explain how grateful I am to all of the instructors for creating such a warm, friendly and empowering atmosphere. THANK YOU!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place to grow and learn with some teachers that really care about what they do. Close attention to your progress whether you're a beginner or advanced levels, such a wide range of classes to choose from and the monthly shows are so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Did the 4 week Burlesque Classes in January 2023. Loved them, will book again!

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous atmosphere and a lovely team of top instructors! Loads of different type and variety of classes and flexible options to suit everyone's needs. Highly recommended :-)

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Bodybarre for nearly a year now and since my first class I have never looked back. It can be nerve wracking starting something new but I was put at ease straight away. Flo, Penny and Kaz are all so friendly and supportive. They are so skilled at what they do and are all brilliant teachers. They offer a huge range of classes to suit all levels and every class is so fun I look forward to going every single week! :)

Fantastic experience: My favourite place everrr! everyone is so welcoming, I’ve never felt more at home anywhere ps floor surfers 4 life

Fantastic experience: Bodybarre is a super, friendly place to take part in pole dancing and other cool aerial sports for fun and fitness. Having trained at a number of studios around the UK, America & Oz - I can assure you that Karen & Penny are some of the very best instructors out there. The range of lessons is mega.....and as a bonus the studio is super clean and pretty.

Fantastic experience: The most positive exercise experience of my life, bodybarre is all about having fun whilst getting strong. I love it.

Fantastic experience: Top pole and aerial studio in Manchester with something for everyone. Bodybarre makes everyone feel welcome and part of the family. The instructors are world class and able to support and push students to the best of their ability regardless of where they are on their journey, from complete beginner to advanced. It comes with the highest recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Having danced with Karen for nearly 20 years, I can honestly say her inspirational creativity has remained the best I have seen throughout and it continues to amaze me. Having created the most wonderfully glamorous, safe, fun, friendly and top calibre space, all the classes, workshops, parties and shows at Bodybarre will wow you in every positive way. Everyone needs a little bit of Bodybarre magic in their lives. I would have given 6 stars if I could. This place is AMAZING!!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and inclusive dance studio, providing fun classes expertly taught by amazing women

Fantastic experience: Great experience owner and all staff are lovely and are there to help you improve. Me and my friend went for a class together complete beginners and they were so helpful and supportive of us. This is an amazing family run business who really care about you and help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to pole every week! Big verity of classes for every level and everyone is so friendly and welcoming!! Its so much fun as well as a good work out!

Fantastic experience: A lovely, welcoming studio with great teachers and enough variety in the timetable to keep pole feeling new and exciting month after month. Progression is quick and there’s a great makeup system, meaning if I have to miss a class there’s the opportunity to try something new or different. Class sizes are small, everyone is welcoming and supportive and the shows are a fantastic way to spend a night whether a student or not.

Negative experience: I have been a student at this pole studio for over 2 years and have done an average of 6 classes each week since then. Although it started well, the unprofessionalism of the teachers and owner started to show, with one instructor even telling me to my face that I am just a number and replaceable and that they just wanted my money. They make you think that they are your friends and that you can trust them but it is insincere. I really did think this was a friendly, family run business that is body positive and wanted to bring people up, but I have experienced being torn down while being a student here especially since I started excelling at pole. It’s upsetting that a place like this treats their students like this and there are definitely better studios that have a more positive and friendly vibe.

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place! Bodybarre has the best team, it's always a joy to come in and see them smiling. There's a huge range of courses so there's really something for everyone. If you're looking to get fit and have fun, I couldn't recommend more! You might find that pole/aerial quickly becomes an enormous part of your life and you can't live without it haha!

Fantastic experience: I brought 11 girls here for a pole dancing class as part of a hen weekend and we had the best time ever. Penny our teacher was excellent, so fun and engaging and taught us really well. It was easy to organise with Karen who was very responsive by email. The studio was a great environment to learning. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Was a member of a stag party. Felt really comfortable and at ease. Their promotion of inclusion, body positivity, it genuinely being amazingly fun and wonderfully well led. It was all truly a great and hilarious experience.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a lot of different classes here over the years, and the teaching quality has always been great. They've got a ton of nice equipment (which they keep *very* clean), and lessons are always well planned out to challenge each person in the class. I've also done occasional private lessons to work on specific goals, and they've been really helpful each time. The instructors are friendly and approachable, and I'd absolutely recommend Bodybarre to people at any level of fitness. Lots of fun to be had!

Fantastic experience: Awesome! :))) Instructors are incredible, very friendly, very talented and super inspiring! This was my first pole class, and I'm pleased to say Bodybarre has inspired me to continue my pole journey ))

Fantastic experience: Bodybarre is my happy place. I’ve been attending classes here for over 10 years, starting as a complete newbie with no strength and have slowly built up the strength to do some things I never thought were possible. It’s a stunningly beautiful space, the amount of care that Kaz puts into making it so doesn’t go unnoticed! Her creative mind is always on the go and who knows what new class, adventure, show, embellishment, decoration etc will be next! I’ve danced since I was a child and Kaz was the first person since my childhood teacher who could challenge me with her brilliant choreography! I love her quirky style and one of the best things is the number of styles of dance (both on and off the pole) that are available to us which means from month to month we are moving our bodies very differently and channelling different emotions. These classes definitely help us when it comes to competitions and knowing where our strengths lie! We laugh a lot during our classes however you will always get a good work out when you do any of the classes with all the instructors (esp the abs section in Kaz’s pole warm up!!). Kaz, Penny and Flo all make you feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave and are really supportive. They are highly talented individuals and know their stuff so you feel confident that you are learning in a completely safe environment. You need to have some patience when it comes to learning pole, I’ve achieved so much however there are still so many challenges and new moves to master still. The instructors keep up to date with what’s happening in the pole world including new moves and that keeps classes fresh. We do often return to some old favourites (and not so favourite) moves from time to time to keep us on our toes and make sure we haven’t lost the basics. Between week 1 and week 8 of a programme you can really see that everyone has made some improvements and with pole every small improvement is an achievement!! Rather than “I can’t do it” it’s “I can’t do it…. yet” The opportunity to make up missed classes with the same month you missed is also a great bonus. When life is normal and outside life gets in the way of your usual class you can still attend the number of classes you paid for and sometimes try something you’ve not done before eg the stretch, kettlebell, gymnastics, handstand, trampoline…..or one of the many other classes (too many to list here!!). With so much on offer there is something to suit everyone!! Come join us in the palace and find your roar!!

Fantastic experience: Bodybarre is an absolute gem of a place and succeeded in making me want to exercise after many attempts at the gym fell flat - I love the variety of classes and the overall positivity and encouragement from both the customers and the teachers, Kaz, Penny and Flo - a comfortable and safe exercise space that makes you feel really good about yourself and what you can achieve week after week; and after a few years of looking after small babies and a thousand years of lockdowns, I'll be looking forward to getting back to the shiniest playground in the Northern Quarter!

Fantastic experience: There just aren’t enough stars to rate how amazing Bodybarre is. I first stepped into the Palace 8 years ago for a Beginners pole lesson and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! Amazing, talented and experienced instructors who teach you how to do things with your body you never thought possible, and the most beautiful studio you’ll ever see! I can’t recommend enough x

Fantastic experience: The place to go for a fun, friendly & fierce workout.

Fantastic experience: The best aerial studio in Manchester. If you want well-planned, structured lessons that are both fun and challenging in a good way, then this is the place for you. Instructors really are world class. I first came to bodybarre several years ago from my first studio after seeing the director on YouTube - an inspiration (as are all the instructors). Great for men too who want to possess great strength and agility! P

Fantastic experience: More than a dance studio- a place of love and respect and total girl power (boys are welcome too though). Everyone should come here and the world would be a better place.

Fantastic experience: A warm, welcoming, friendly environment which became my second home for a good few years. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, the Bodybarre team will make you feel safe, supported and encouraged. I started at a point where I struggled to scramble into an aerial hoop, to performing my own choreographed hoop routine. They have a super wide range of classes for all kinds of fun, and they are always building and innovating to keep things fresh. Lots of different options for class pricing too. Strongly suggest that you cancel that regular old gym membership, and go join the Bodybarre family instead.

Fantastic experience: BodyBarre has well structured classes for all levels while making fitness fun. Always something new to learn, always another challenge. Pole, aerial, conditioning, strong, sexy and flexy they have it all

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Bodybarre! I joined as a pole novice in September and had the best time. It's such a welcoming place, the classes are such a fun way to workout and feel strong. I'm gutted Covid's caused Bodybarre to shut temporarily, but Kaz and the team have handled it so well. They've kept me updated, which I really appreciate. I can't wait to get back in the studio ❤️

Fantastic experience: There's few things I miss more than pole and aerial classes at Bodybarre. Flo, Penny and Kaz are amazing teachers and people, they make you feel incredibly welcome and it's their personalities that make Bodybarre what it is - a safe place for anyone who wants to try a new, fun and sexy way to exercise. I hate gyms because I always feel watched and judged and can't relax. I've never felt anything short of a sexy goddess at Bodybarre, and I can't stop coming back for more! Can't wait until we can all finally play again.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Bodybarre classes for a couple of years now and I cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience. The instructors are super friendly, welcoming, patient and talented. They have a clear undying love for what they do and keep the imagination and fresh ideas flowing. The studio is modern, intimate, comfortable and private - no way for prying eyes to watch the classes. The classes are incredibly varied and up to date with all the latest aerial trends so there's always something new to try. The studio is safe, the equipment is well maintained and the instructors have the perfect balance of support and motivation when you just need to go for that scary move. My personal favourite is the Bungee Fitness class which is hilarious fun and a brutal core workout. Everyone should give this place a go just once. The owner is easy to get hold of on FB, the classes are affordable and they offer a fabulous initiative for "making up" classes that you can't make during a 4 week course - a great way to try out another class risk free. All in all, a fantastic studio with great staff making exercise fun for everyone. (Can you tell I miss it? Damn lockdown!)

Fantastic experience: Everything about Bodybarre is beautiful and unique, their classes are amazing and the teachers are so talented and inspirational. I'm counting the days til we are allowed back!

Fantastic experience: Love love love :)

Fantastic experience: Lovely studio, offering a variety of aerial, pole, yoga/stretch, dance and fitness classes. Videos available to buy for home training during lockdown. All classes are taught by professional, friendly and highly experienced instructors.

Fantastic experience: Bodybarre is my favourite place in the world. The instructors are the most lovely people and have taught me so much over the years! The classes available are so varied and there is so much to try and new classes are always being added so exercising never gets boring! Such great value for money too. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Love this place, instructors are professional, venue is amazing and it’s so much fun x

Negative experience: Not the best experience.

Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely amazing, the variety of classes ensure you never get bored, and all the teachers are truly fantastic with a professional and respectful attitude. The studio has a unique ambience to it, that gives you the necessary escapism that we all deserve. Really missing this place at the moment due to Covid 19, though the original imaginative videos that have been created, and that are available on-line, are the perfect tonic to help us through until the much awaited re-opening.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming atmosphere with fun classes and lovely teachers. They got me addicted to aerial!

Fantastic experience: Love this place, everyone is really nice and friendly and I've made progress very quickly in pole class, definitely recommend trying classes here. :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome place to learn pole, calisthenics and get mofo strong. Kaz and Penny are so welcoming and friendly and create an atmosphere that beginners feel comfortable in and experienced hotshots can thrive in.

Fantastic experience: So friendly and lovely, maybe slightly more expensive than other places but totally worth it
