Spin City exists to empower people through movement, to uphold professionalism in pole and aerial instruction, and to make fitness more inclusive and inspiring.
At Spin City we strive to provide an inclusive environment for all. The Spin City Instructor Courses are designed to provide progressive instructor training, building from the fundamentals of safe and effective pole and aerial fitness instruction, up to advanced teaching and coaching techniques. Researched, written, and edited by our award-winning team of professionals, each course covers a syllabus of moves with extensive theory to support you on your instructor training journey and beyond.
THE SPIN CITY STORY
Spin City began when its founder, Kate Edwards – already a trained fitness instructor at university – realised something important: pole instructor training didn’t align with the professional fitness standards she knew from the wider industry.
The Mission
In 2007, Spin City was founded with two clear goals:
- To encourage more women back into exercise through fun, empowering classes.
- To raise the bar for instructor training in pole and aerial fitness.
What started with pole quickly expanded to aerial hoop, silks, sling and more – offering not just classes, but pathways for instructors to teach safely, effectively, and professionally.
By 2012, Spin City’s Instructor Training programme had gained international endorsement. What set it apart? A foundation built firmly on fitness science and industry best practice – making aerial training credible, respected, and recognised worldwide.
Today, Spin City is a global leader in aerial fitness education. Every tutor and mentor is a certified fitness professional, ensuring training is inclusive, inspiring, and held to the highest professional standards.
Spin City isn’t just about teaching tricks – it’s about movement for life. It’s about building confidence, fostering community, and making sure aerial fitness is respected within the wider fitness industry.
