Questions Answered

Here are some of our frequently asked questions, please don't hesitate to email if you can't find what you are looking for!

Do you do Beginner classes?

Yes! We have lots of classes suitable for total beginners which are all marked with a ★ on the timetable. We recommend starting with ‘New Starters-Beginner level classes as these are the most accessible for brand new beginners but 'Beginner-Intermediate' and 'All Levels' classes are fine too.

I want to try classes but I’m worried I’m too unfit/big/small/old/inflexible/weak

You’re not alone! LOTS of people feel this way at first but our classes are for everybody and every body. Siren Asylum welcomes all different shapes, sizes, ages, abilities and backgrounds and you’ll build up strength, flexibility and fitness along the way.

Is there any age limit for classes?

The studio and our classes are all 18+ only but there’s no upper age limit for classes - some of our strongest students are in their 50s and 60s!

Do I need to sign up to a course or membership?

All of our classes are available to book pay as you go so there’s no need to commit to a course but we do also offer memberships and class packs to save money!

I have a disability, can I still come to classes?

Our instructor team are experienced in adapting their teaching for different students with different accessibility needs. We strive to be as inclusive and accessible as possible so please do get in touch so we can discuss how to best meet your specific needs.

I’m pregnant, can I still attend classes?

Congratulations! It's important to keep up fitness when you are pregnant but it's advised to adjust to a maintenance-only routine and avoid learning new things. Only certain instructors on the team are qualified and insured to teach pregnant people so please get in touch so we can let you know which instructors/classes are suitable. Non-instructed open training sessions are still fine to attend.

I have a problem with my membership/I can't book classes/the website isn't working

Please pop us message or email info@sirenasylum.com with the nature of the problem and we’ll get right on fixing that for you!

What is your gender policy?

Our space is designed with the intention of being inclusive and supportive of all women-identifying individuals as well as non-binary and gender non-conforming people who feel comfortable and connected to such a space.

Our gym is women led and aims to center around the lived experience of women while remaining open and inclusive to other marginalized folk.

I identify as a man, can I come to classes?

Our space isn’t suitable for men as our primary goal is to create a safe space for women however men are welcome to book private sessions outside of our regular opening hours which can be booked by emailing info@sirenasylum.com.

I don’t identify as a woman or a man, can I attend classes?

We welcome any person that identifies and connects with a ‘women-aligned’ space that centers women and their experiences and we leave this up to the individual student to decide. We appreciate this environment may not be suited all non-binary or gender non-conforming folk though so please feel free to get in touch if you’re unsure or want to ask any questions!

I want to cancel my membership

No problem, just head to our website on a browser (not the TeamUp app!), select the membership you want to cancel and click cancel. Please check your membership details to see the cancellation notice period.

Can I pause my membership?

Yes! If you have an injury or other extenuating circumstances that mean you can’t attend for an extended period of time let us know via email to info@sirenasylum.com and we may be able to pause your membership for you until you’re ready to come back

What facilities do you have?

We have a full pole and aerial studio as well as a functional gym studio, reception cafe, chill out area, changing room and massage room as well as free WiFi and on site parking.

Can my child/spouse/friend attend if they’re not taking part in the class?

We do not let anyone into classes that isn’t taking part in the classes themselves as we find this distracts the other students however carers are welcome to wait in the reception or mezzanine area.

Are you dog friendly?

Yes! We love having puppers at the studio - just let in know in advance via email to info@sirenasylum.com so we can let your instructor know and also make sure there aren’t any reactive doggos or people with phobias attending at the same time

Is there somewhere to park at the studio?

Yes! We have plenty of free on-site parking right outside the studio!
