Fantastic experience: Started with pole once a week last summer (about 1 year now) and now doing 3 classes (pole, heels pole, aerial) a week! Love the studio and really love Alice! She's a great instructor - patient, fun, and always watches out for our safety! Classes at funky monkey are always the highlight of my day!

Fantastic experience: Started pole in October and have loved it! Such a lovely studio where you can feel safe and supported. Alice is a passionate teacher who caters to all levels and ability. The lessons are varied and each month is focused on a different skill/set of moves, so you always have something new to work on whilst getting to improve the basics without it becoming repetitive. If you're thinking of trying pole, I totally recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I have joined Funky Monkey one year ago when I moved to Bath for studies and I have been loving everything that Alice is doing. All of the classes were very supportive and fun! I learned a lot from Alice and I am very grateful for pole dance opportunities she provided! Lovely studio and lovely community!!!

Fantastic experience: Alice is patient, kind and motivating! I've never done dance of any type, I can't say it ever appealed, I have poor coordination and bad memory for kinesthetics/dance moves. But I absolutely LOVE pole! The physical challenge, the coordination; it makes my brain work in a totally different way. There are no beginner, medium or hard classes, but everyone dances together, and it works! Alice helps new beginners get the basics right on the floor and for the more advanced they do at the top of the pole probably upside down! As a result, we all cheer for each other when we finally nail a move (be it someones first class, or a real pro coming for years). Alice makes it fun, engaging and you can be as brave (or not!) as you choose, it's still very inclusive. I am an utter convert! Although I still muddle which arm/leg goes where . Alice is still patient and kind at helping/correcting! Exercise doesn't feel like a chore when it's that fun at Funky Monkey!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to funky monkey for a year now for both pole and aerial. I started as a beginner both to pole and really any kind of exercise, and have gained so much strength and confidence through these lessons. These studio runner Alice is lovely and I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great workout in a welcoming community. I moved to Bath recently and loved combining fun (but challenging!) aerial poses with socialising - for some sessions we form small groups and guide each other. There is never any pressure to perform "well" and it can feel really rewarding to land a pose. Definitely recommend trying at least once!

Fantastic experience: Great place really good vibe enjoy every session

Fantastic experience: Started pole fitness with Funky Monkey a month ago and I must say Alice is a really good teacher! Definitely keeps you motivated. Saying that... It's the first time I ever got out of the house every 8pm consistently for a month once a week to show up for a fitness class. Then I signed up for more! That says a lot! Xx

Negative experience: Trying to organise a hen party and they said 3 times they would send across the information and it was never sent they just ignored last message from us. Would not look to book with them as don’t seem reliable and after reading reviews from other customers making payment and then being ignored I’m glad we did not book.

Fantastic experience: Super fun! We made so much more progress than we thought we would

Fantastic experience: Amazing teachers and studio, always a fun time where you learn an awesome new skill !!!

Fantastic experience: Funky Monkey Studio is a brilliant studio! Alice, the instructor, is amazingly supportive to everyone throughout their pole or aerial journey, and really listens to everyone's needs and wants. The classes are always so much fun too!

Fantastic experience: Teacher is very friendly and professional!

Fantastic experience: I love my weekly Ariel yoga session! Alice is so amazing and guides you through every step. I would 1 million percent recommend her classes to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I stumbled across Funky Monkey about four years ago and I have enjoyed every single session I have been to. It is such a fun way to exercise and the studio provides such a lovely and safe environment. Everyone in class is always so supportive and encouraging no matter your ability - I recommend everyone to try it at least once and you will be back for me I promise!

Fantastic experience: Such a positive and inclusive space. Alice is a fantastic teacher. The classes are really fun and I have been able to build on my strength. I couldn’t recommend Funky Monkey enough.

Fantastic experience: We did a group pole dancing session for a hen do, was so much fun! Alice (instructor) taught us a routine to a song we chose in advance and also took some fun group shots for us at the end. Great hen do activity

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to the Funky Monkey Studio since September 2021 and have tried many different courses and workshops. I fell in love with Aerial hoop and in one year tremendously improved my skills, strength and flexibility. The studio is run by Alice who is so knowledgeable about all things fitness and always provides an inclusive environment to feel at ease. The highlight of my week has always been attending classes here! 100% recommend and beginners are always welcome.

Fantastic experience: I started Ariel hoop at Funky Monkey a few months ago and I am so amazed by my progress. Alice is an incredible teacher, giving us fun flows that are challenging but also accessible. I am totally addicted to being part of this welcoming and fun tribe!

Positive experience: The instructor was fab and the session was excellent! We had A LOT of fun and really enjoyed that we could choose our song for the session. I organised this as part of a hen-do and everyone really enjoyed it. The studio could do with a little bit of a spruce plus a pregnant friend had to sit out and I'm wondering whether she could have done a bit of the dancing... overall, though, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing , inclusive studio with fantastic teachers , I tell the children and grandchildren as long as I'm going upside down there is no need to worry about me

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Funky Monkey, for about 18 months. It's always one of my favourite parts of the week. It's a really friendly, un-intimidating vibe. I do aerial yoga and it's a brilliant mix of having fun and engaging with the benefits of a regular yoga practice. I've done single sessions with Alice and been with friends for a fun one off, all fab. As a new comer to Bath, I've loved being part of the Funky Monkey community.

Fantastic experience: I booked a rather last minute session with Alice at Funky Monkey studios for my daughters 8th birthday with 3 of her friends. Alice was brilliant, she was patient and explained things really well to the girls, her communication before the session was great so I knew what to expect. The studio was fab, really spacious and well equipped. I’d recommend!

Fantastic experience: Wide range of classes that are challenging and fun. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable (and patient!) coaches who tailor their teaching and moves to you as needed.

Fantastic experience: Love funky monkey studio, it’s exercise without feeling like exercise. I always look forward to my sessions here and there are always really friendly people in the classes to help you out.

Fantastic experience: Loved my first session! The instructor is very professional and patient and will help you practise your moves for as long as it’s needed. Girls attending the sessions are very supportive as well! It’s a lovely place to train at!

Fantastic experience: So much fun!! Alice makes learning pole and aerial so enjoyable, I can’t wait to keep learning more!

Fantastic experience: I went yesterday for a hen do arial silks session and it was FANTASTIC! None of us had done it before and left feeling like pros! Alice was incredibly welcoming and encouraging. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: The Slinky Minkies is a brand new playful yoga class at Funky Monkey studios; which empowers women and promotes well being. Alice elevates the traditional yoga practice to a new level of courage, confidence and professionalism! I was very lucky to take part in one of the earliest classes and can not think of a better safer and more generously welcoming environment than this. Strongly recommend! Thanks Alice.....

Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful experience at Funky Monkey Studio. I had a hoop session as part of a hen party and loved it so much I just wanted to continue. Alice has taught me to be more confident in the hoop and each month brings a new routine to practice which allows you to see your progress. As someone who hates exercise, this has been an amazing experience for me as it's hard work (my muscles definitely hurt the next day!) but incredibly fun so it's perfect. Thanks Alice and Team!!

Fantastic experience: Alice and the team at Funky Monkey are absolutely amazing. There are so many lessons to choose from and the timetable is very flexible. This is such a supportive place to learn and definitely value for money every time.

Fantastic experience: Love this vibrant, empowering little studio. A little gem tucked away. Great teachers and fun vibe.

Fantastic experience: Funky Monkey has been like a home away from home for me. The instructors are always welcoming and there is such a wide variety of classes there's always something new to try! No matter if it's your first or hundreth class there's a focus on self improvement and bettering your practise and finding what works well for you so you always come away feeling like you've improved - be it your fitness, skills on the equipment or just your mood! Classes at the studio are the highlight of my week!

Negative experience: First class: door locked and no response. No reply to email either when requesting a refund.

Fantastic experience: We had an aerial sling class with Alice as part of our hen do (only 4 of us) and it was brilliant! None of us are particularly fit or flexible but Alice had us do moves we didn't think we'd be able do. Alice is a great teacher and helped us every step of the way. Would highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere of all the aerial and yoga classes i attend is always so bright and welcoming. Alice urges you to keep improving yourself and you'll do things you never thought you could!

Fantastic experience: Lovely studio, with relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and excellent tuition in a wide range of disciplines! Highly recommended! :-)
