Luna Fitness and Wellbeing Studio

🌈 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 🌈

This June, we proudly celebrate 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 — but at Luna, 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝. It’s the foundation of everything we do, every single day. 💫

Whether you spin, invert, dangle, or dance — 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗽 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲. Every body. Every identity. Every walk of life.

At Luna, we’ve built more than just a studio. We’ve built a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 — one that’s empowering, supportive, encouraging, nurturing, and above all else, 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚. A space where you can show up exactly as you are, and be embraced without judgement.

✨ LGBTQIA+? You belong here.
✨ Not part of the LGBTQIA+ community? You still belong here.
✨ Never touched a pole or hoop before? You 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 belong here.

Because 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄, 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. Whether you’re finding your confidence, your voice, your movement, or your people — we’re here, cheering you on with open arms (and chalky hands 😅).

This Pride Month, we honour love, identity, and the courage to be unapologetically 𝗬𝗢𝗨 — whoever that may be.

💜 At Luna, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 — just as you are.

This is one of those posts that reminds me exactly why Luna exists. 💙

Reading words like these genuinely fills my cup. It is such a privilege to share my passion with every person who walks through the studio doors, and I never take for granted the trust people place in me to be part of their journey. Watching students grow stronger, more confident, achieve things they never thought possible, and support one another every step of the way is what it's all about.

This beautiful testimonial comes from one of our wonderful Luna ladies .penny and I couldn't be prouder to share it:

"I’ve been doing pole and hoop for two years now, and at 38, I only wish I’d discovered aerial arts sooner. I never realised there was a space in my heart waiting to be filled by something like this. Along the way, I’ve met some of the most supportive and encouraging women, many of whom have become truly empowering and confident friends.

Personally, my journey has transformed me in so many ways — my strength has grown, my confidence has soared, and my weekly classes have become the highlight of my week. Honestly, what more could a girl ask for?

Kerry is patient, understanding, and the ultimate cheerleader, which makes her the best pole momma anyone needs. No achievement is ever too small to celebrate, and every win is met with genuine excitement and support from everyone in the class, no matter their level or experience.

The girl squad at Luna is something everyone deserves to have — and if you don’t have it yet, you need to come and find it at Luna 🌙✨💙" - Penny Mills 💕

These are the moments that mean the most. Not the tricks, the photos, or the achievements themselves, but the friendships, confidence, support, laughter, and community that grow alongside them.

Thank you for being part of our Luna family. 🌙✨💙

💛 A Special Plea for Help 💛

This is Rocco.

Rocco is just 4 years old. After becoming increasingly unwell and struggling with his breathing, doctors discovered a mass in his chest that was crushing his lungs and windpipe.

He was rushed to Manchester Children's Hospital where further tests revealed the devastating diagnosis of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma leukaemia (T-cell ALL).

Rocco has now started treatment and faces a long two-year journey ahead.

Despite everything they are going through, Rocco's amazing parents, Lisa and Luca, want to raise funds for the hospital ward caring for Rocco and so many other children like him.

The money raised will help provide toys, games, costumes, garden equipment, blinds and other items that bring comfort, smiles and support to children and families during some of the hardest days of their lives.

We're hoping to organise an incredible raffle and we need your help.

If you own a business and could donate a prize, know someone who does, or think your employer may be able to help, please get in touch.

Every donation, big or small, will help us raise more money for an amazing cause and make a difference to children who need it most.

Please comment below, send me a message, or share this post to help us reach as many people as possible.

Thank you 💛

✨ REGRESSION IS NOT FAILURE ✨

One thing we don’t talk about enough in flexibility training… regression.

The moment you realise your split isn’t as flat as it was a few weeks ago.
Your backbend feels tighter.
Moves that once felt easy suddenly feel harder.
Your body feels different.

And do you know what?
That is NORMAL. ❤️

Progress in flexibility is rarely a straight line. Life happens. Stress happens. Hormones, sleep, work, illness, energy levels, hydration, emotions… our bodies respond to ALL of it.
Some weeks you feel bendy and unstoppable.
Some weeks your hamstrings say “absolutely not today.” 😂

Regression does not erase your progress.
It does not mean you’ve failed.
It does not mean your body is working against you.

Sometimes your body is simply asking for patience instead of pressure.

The beautiful thing about flexibility training is this: Your body remembers.
Your strength returns.
Your mobility comes back.
And often… you come back wiser, kinder to yourself, and stronger mentally than before.

At Luna, we don’t celebrate perfection.
We celebrate showing up.
We celebrate listening to our bodies.
We celebrate the comeback just as much as the achievement itself. 🌙✨

So if you’ve been feeling frustrated lately because your flexibility journey feels “backwards” — this is your reminder that temporary regression is still part of progression.

Keep going.
Your comeback might be closer than you think. 💜

These 2 photos are of me doing needle scale — one during the height of Covid when I was stretching regularly, and the other from this weekend’s stretch workshop.

Yes, there’s regression. But there’s also proof that I’m still showing up. And I know with more commitment and consistency, I can improve again. ✨

Still smiling after last night 🖤✨

Celebrating 2 years of Luna surrounded by the most incredible women honestly meant everything. Looking around the room last night and seeing everyone laughing, dancing, chatting, celebrating and just genuinely enjoying themselves made me feel so proud of the community we’ve built together.

Thank you to every single person who came and celebrated with us. Your support, love and energy is what makes Luna so special. From a little dream to a whole family… and nights like last night remind me exactly why I started this journey.

And can we just take a moment for how absolutely STUNNING everyone looked?! 😍 Every single one of you brought the glam and looked incredible.

My heart is very full today. Thank you for the memories, the laughs, the love and for being part of this crazy beautiful journey with me 🖤✨

Thankyou for being an amazing host as always ❤️

Two years ago today, I opened the studio doors to Luna… and unknowingly opened the doors to a family I never knew I needed 🤍

What started as a dream, a vision and a leap of faith has turned into something far bigger than I could ever have imagined.

Over the last 2 years we have laughed until we cried, cried emotional happy tears, celebrated wins big and small, supported each other through hard days, cheered each other on, lifted each other up and watched one another grow in confidence, strength and self-belief.

Luna was never just about pole or aerial hoop.
It became a safe space.
A second home.
A place where people walk in nervous and leave empowered.
A place where friendships were formed, confidence was found and magic was created.

To every single person who has ever walked through those studio doors… thank you. Truly. You supported my dream. You believed in me, trusted me and stood beside me while I built something so close to my heart.

I honestly could not be prouder of the community we have built together. Every laugh, every class, every achievement, every hug, every milestone… it all means more to me than words will ever explain.

Luna wouldn’t be Luna without every single one of you. You are the heart of this place and I will forever be grateful for this beautiful family we’ve created together.

Here’s to 2 incredible years… and to many more memories, milestones and magic still to come ✨

Now sorry… give me a minute because I’m definitely not crying… you are 🥹🤍

✨ STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ✨

For anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong… this one’s for you 💛

Zoe's Story:
I’ve always felt a little out of place in my own body — carrying extra weight and worrying how others saw me.

When I found Luna, I stayed in private sessions. I was scared of being judged, not being strong enough, not keeping up. That voice told me I didn’t belong.

But one day I thought… why not just try?

Walking into my first class was nerve-wracking — but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Instead of judgment, I found real support. Slowly, class by class, my confidence grew. And when I couldn’t do something? I kept trying… until one day, I smashed it. That feeling is unbeatable.

Recently, things have been more complicated. I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS and Adenomyosis, with Endometriosis still being explored. I’m learning my body — when to push and when to rest.

Some days I can’t make class. Some days rest is the strongest thing I can do.

But Luna has become more than a place to train — it’s an escape. A space to breathe and just be.

I’m so grateful I took that leap. I’ve grown in confidence and met the most amazing people.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned:
No matter your body. No matter your doubts. You can do it.
You are already beautiful 💛

This is what Luna is all about ✨
Showing up, trying again, and meeting yourself where you are.
