Halo Vertical Fitness and Aerial Arts Needs Your Help!

Our Beloved Studio is Underwater

We are heartbroken to share that Halo Vertical Fitness and Aerial Arts has suffered catastrophic damage due to a devastating flood.

On the early morning of August 1st, 2024, a torrential downpour exposed the negligence of roofers working on our studio. Their failure to properly protect the exposed areas resulted in our entire studio being flooded. The damage is extensive, with the electrics completely fried and our cherished specialised equipment irreparably damaged.

Halo Vertical Fitness and Aerial Arts is more than just a studio; it’s a sanctuary for countless individuals. It’s a place where bodies are challenged, minds are cleared, and spirits are lifted. It’s a community hub where laughter, support, and camaraderie thrive. We’ve built a family here – the #HaloFam – a group of incredible people who have found strength, confidence, and joy within these walls.

It is also home to over 150 children across our classes and holiday clubs and HAF scheme. A place where they can learn new skills, make new friends, be themselves in a no pressure non competitive environment.

The sudden closure of the studio is a devastating blow to our community. Not only are we facing the daunting task of rebuilding our beloved space, but our instructors are also facing significant financial hardship.

We estimate the cost of repairs and equipment replacement to be between £10,000 and £20,000. Every penny donated will go directly towards restoring our studio to its former glory.

We understand that times are tough, and any amount you can contribute will make a huge difference. Your generosity will help us rebuild our home away from home and ensure that the Halo Fam can continue to soar together.

Thank you for your support.

The Halo Vertical Fitness and Aerial Arts Team

    Inside isn't very nice right now. Lots of mold growing. All the ceiling needs to come down where is hasn't already fallen down and parts of the walls, all needs thoroughly drying out, cleaning, treating etc repairing and replacing, plastering... all being well we'll be 100% watertight this week and we can start ripping out inside.
