Fundraising Challenge by Leigh

2/27/2024

I was contacted by Leigh with a request this week - she is undertaking some numbered challenges to raise awareness of Pickering Cancer support centre in Tunbridge Wells.

Leigh is herself battling stage 4 bowel cancer and wants to give a little something back for the support the charity has given her.

So, this week is challenge 4 and Leigh thought she would try and raise awareness of Pickering at all 4 corners of the earth!
So, South Pole Akademy would be ideal! As it “South Pole”

Leigh joined us at Mondays class at @helenswood_sports_centre to try out pole at “South Pole” for her fund raising

If you’d like to donate to support the Pickering Cancer support centre please follow this link -

Well Leigh you did great! What fab smiles in your photos!

New Venue from April 2024 - Summerfields Freedom Leisure

1/13/2024

We have some amazing news!

After the sudden news this week that our long standing venue at Helenswood Freedom Leisure will be closing from 31st March 2024 - the great team at Freedom Leisure have found us a new Venue to run our group classes alongside Freedom Leisure

From April 2024 we will be moving to Summerfields Leisure Centre, Bohemia Road, Hastings, TN34 1ET

Group classes will be the same days and times we currently have (Mondays and Tuesdays 830pm), so there is minimal change to you other than the venue, which is only a short distance away.
Plus now as our new venue is in the Town centre location it is near Bus routes and the Train Station, and the site has a car park where parking is free after 8pm (and only 60p for 2 hours before 8pm) making it even more accessible.

Cant wait to see you at the new venue form April for South Pole AKademy pole fitness classes!

In the mean time do join us at Helenswood until the end of March to support this gym that has been out home for the last decade!

Below are some pictures of our new studio at Summerfields Leisure Centre - Studio 2 - mirrored and with pole friendly height ceilings!

NEWS closure of Helenswood Freedom Leisure Centre

1/9/2024

Hello all my South Polers

I was given the very sad news yesterday that Helenswood Freedom Leisure Centre will be closing from 31st March 2024

This has come as a shock to us, and all the gym staff at Helenswood

South Pole AKademy have loved teaching alongside Helenswood Freedom Leisure for the last Decade or so, and am thoroughly shocked and upset that the gym will be closing to the public due to the school, whos premises the gym is on, taking the site back to be used for school purposes only.

We are working alongside Freedom Leisure to find a suitable alternative for lessons to continue with them at one of their other local sites. The consultation process for staff has only just began, and i will keep you up to date as and when i know more.

Until then we still have three months left as usual at Helenswood - Monday and Tuesday night classes are running at advertised - so please join us for our last few blocks at our current group class site!

JAN 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th (Mondays)
JAN 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th (Tuesdays)

FEB 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th (Mondays)
FEB 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th (Tuesdays)

MAR 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th (Mondays)
MAR 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th (Tuesdays)

call the gym on 01424755515 to book your space and support as all during these coming months!

Thank you

please follow the link below for further information on the site closure
