A Place Where You Can Feel Strong, Confident and Welcome

Trying something new can feel intimidating

You might worry that you are not strong enough.
You might think everyone else will already know what they are doing.
You might simply feel unsure about walking into a new environment for the first time.


Many of the people who join KAF Aerial Academy felt exactly the same before their first class.


They were looking for something different from the gym.
Something fun, social and empowering.
A place where they could challenge themselves without feeling judged.


That is exactly why this studio exists.

You don't need to be a gymnast

You don't need to be fit, flexible, or have any experience at all. When I started pole and aerial over 11 years ago, I was none of those things either. I just wanted to feel stronger and better about myself.


That's exactly why I built KAF the way I did. Every beginner goes through the same step-by-step system, built over a decade of working with over 1,000 people in Blackpool. You'll never be thrown in at the deep end. You'll always leave knowing you've learned something, made progress, and had fun doing it.


Most of our members tell us the same thing after their first class: I'm so glad I came.

Built Around One Simple Idea

KAF Aerial Academy was created by Kelly McNab with one goal in mind.


To build a welcoming space where people could enjoy fitness, learn incredible skills and feel proud of what their bodies can achieve.


Kelly has always believed that exercise should not feel like a chore. It should feel exciting, motivating and rewarding.


Over the past decade the studio has grown into one of the most recognised aerial communities in the area. Hundreds of students have stepped through the doors to try something new and discovered far more than they expected.


Many arrive feeling nervous.

Most leave feeling stronger, more confident and part of a supportive community.

A Community That Supports You

The studio has built a reputation not just for the quality of its classes but for the atmosphere inside them.


Students support each other.
Beginners are welcomed and encouraged.
Progress is celebrated, whether it is a first spin on the pole or performing in a show.


For many members it becomes the highlight of their week.


It is not just about learning aerial skills. It is about discovering confidence, building friendships and enjoying the process along the way.

Expert Guidance Every Step Of The Way

KAF Aerial Academy is supported by a team of experienced instructors who are passionate about helping students progress safely and confidently.


Classes are kept small so instructors can give each student the support they need.


Whether you are trying aerial training for the very first time or developing more advanced skills, you will always be guided at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

More Than Just A Fitness Class

Over the years the academy has grown into a vibrant community offering classes for adults and children, holiday camps, workshops and student shows.


Students have the opportunity to challenge themselves, learn new skills and celebrate their progress in ways they never expected.


The most rewarding part of the journey is often seeing people discover confidence they did not realise they had.
