HIGH ABOVE

Fantastic experience: A fully relaxing meditative experience. Would definitely do again.

Fantastic experience: The sound bowl floating meditation is a great way to recharge.

Fantastic experience: Deciding to try a class at High Above has been one of the best decisions. I floated the idea to my sister and we went along with no real expectation — we ended up having such an amazing time! Nearly four years later, we’ve been attending classes non-stop. Throughout my time at High Above, Laura and the other instructors have been super supportive of my fitness development and goals. I’m so grateful to be part of this community and couldn’t recommend High Above more highly.

Fantastic experience: Great, space with a fantastic coach. The practice was fun and challenging with lots of space to move the way we wanted to. Loved it! Laura is a terrific instructor. I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful, inclusive and well equipped space with fantastic instructors. If you think you're too old or don't look the part, I know how you feel (I'm 45). BUT... I promise you'll fit in and feel welcome, get so much stronger and learn things you'd never thought possible.

Fantastic experience: Feel so at ease here - amazing studio and instructors - been loving my pole journey!

Fantastic experience: Floating meditation with sound bowls on a Sunday afternoon - the floating feeling continues when I leave the studio. A gold standard example of self care and a beautiful experience. Thank you Laura

Fantastic experience: We booked in for the 90 minute Hens class, all the girls throughly enjoyed their lesson. Our instructor was great at explaining all the different parts to the routine and adding a little bit more as we learned all the steps. The highlight was when our instructor did the full routine at the end and added in some amazing moves that had the girls stunned they talked about it the rest of the night. Would definitely book again for a Hens party or even a girls day!

Fantastic experience: This studio is fantastic. The variety of things you can do here is great - from pole fitness and aerial yoga, to flexibility and meditation sound bowls for casual classes. I love coming here with all the support from the ladies and instructors. it really makes working out so much fun. Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: I don't even know where to start. I started going to pole classes at the studio beginning of 2022. From the beginning there was so much attention to detail and sense of safety/security (in both physical and emotional ways). The instructors always come up with a variation to adjust to everybody’s skills and the progression of the course is so swift that you don’t event realise how much you have progressed! Afterwards I also started attending other classes available every now and then such as aerial yoga, release and restore, back and shoulder flexibility, split flexibility and conditioning and strengthening. They are such a good combination to strengthen and pamper the body using muscles that are not normally used and the stretch just feels so nice. More recently after a little bit of hesitation I started attending to pole heels class and I can’t event start to describe how powerful and confident those heels made me feel. Overall, is such a nice studio with very good fun and supportive environment. Laura and the rest of the team has done an amazing job on building this community up.

Fantastic experience: Looking forward to going to classes every week !!!

Fantastic experience: Laura and the team run an amazing pole studio. The instructors are friendly and helpful no matter what your experience or fitness level is. If you're thinking about starting pole, DO IT!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place

Fantastic experience: Spent my bday experiencing aerial yoga for the first time & loved it thank you

Fantastic experience: The best place to be. Never thought I'd love something as much as I love pole.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, amazing meditation session

Fantastic experience: High Above has a very flash interior for an Aerial Arts Studio, as it does not have the Warehouse/Industrial look that some Aerial Arts Studio's have. It has Air Conditioning and Heating so it is warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer. the Instructor's are friendly very knowledgeable and professional. It has a very welcoming warm inviting calm peaceful friendly Atmosphere/Vibe too.

Fantastic experience: Lovely studio, lovely people, great teaching and great fun. Welcoming to all. Would recommend to anyone looking to try an awesome way to get strong and fit while having fun at the same time!

Fantastic experience: Wonderfully warm and welcoming studio.

Fantastic experience: High above is by far and away the best pole studio I have been to. The studio itself is so beautiful, poles are separated an appropriate amount, it's so light and spacious and there's are huge mirrors at the front of the pole studio so you can check your toes are always pointed! Laura herself is an amazing instructor. She's always creating amazing new combos to try that both help you go over moves you maybe haven't tried for a while and at the same time teaches you new and exciting moves. She also has different options for different levels, for example I'm not a particularly bendy person but there is always a variation of the bendy moves that she can teach me while I await my flexibility to progress. Also having moved to new Zealand a year ago it was honestly so lovely being able to go somewhere with such a supportive group of people. Everyone at the studio is so welcoming and encouraging and I honestly can't recommend this studio enough!

Fantastic experience: I started going here not long after moving to NZ - it’s now been almost 2 years now and I’m more in love than ever with pole, flexibility and everything aerial. The studio is beautiful and the atmosphere is super welcoming. There are so many options for classes and they all compliment each other really well. I find myself signing up to more and more new things to the point it’s hard to fit it all in each week! The instructors are inspirational and so encouraging. Having never done anything like this before (and having limited strength, flexibility and general dance experience when I started) I’ve really appreciated the confidence Laura has given me in my pole and flexibility journey and I’m amazed at how far I’ve come with her encouragement and teaching. Would recommend High Above to anyone looking for a fun and exciting way to get fit, strong, flexi or just looking to try something new!

Fantastic experience: A updated review after over 4 years since I joined the studio (with a most recent photo!), and I can confirm: I am still super glad that I joined High Above years ago - this is the place to build my confidence, my physical and mental strength, to share laugh and tears, and a place to find peace and friendship. Laura is the most humble and caring instructor you can trust. There’s no judgement but only encouragement and caring. :)

Fantastic experience: High Above is a modern and unique studio in the heart of Hamilton CBD offering a wide range of aerial and fitness classes. As soon as you walk up the stairs, you are greeted with a smile which makes you feel welcome from the get go! No matter what class you attend, you are always supported and encouraged by not only the instructors but also fellow class mates. I am very grateful to have found such an awesome studio to be a part of! :)

Fantastic experience: I have been taking aerial yoga for 7-8 weeks and it's amazing. Actually I've been suffering from migraine for a long time, and I've been receiving a lot of treatment, but it's useless. Eventually, I chose High Above to work out and migraine is almost gone. Teaching and atmosphere is absolutely great. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a really nice place to spend an evening learning a fun new skill and getting fit :)

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful space right in Hamilton's CBD, Laura is an amazing teacher and High Above has awesome things to offer such as Pole Fitness, Aerial Hoops and Yoga, A fun way of getting fit!! Life is definitely more fun upside down

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and motivating trainers.

Fantastic experience: Great activity for a hens party! We had a pole dancing class and Laura did a fabulous job hosting us! Highly recommend for a fun activity as a part of your day!

Fantastic experience: The 6 week pole fitness course was such a fun and unique workout. Highly recommended
