WE have lift off! That’s the message from Zoe Partington and Dimitriy Kulyk who have opened a fitness studio with a difference.

Studio Cloud Nine, at Unit 20, Rose Centre, Nether Poppleton, York offers a range of aerial workout classes and courses to help people get fit in a fun new way.

In October, they will also be offering bungee classes, where people can workout in a bungee harness suspended from the ceiling.

The couple met when they worked as cruise ship entertainers and decided to go into business together.

Zoe said: “If somebody is looking for a new way to work out , to get fit and healthy, but in a different way, this might be the place for them to venture out to.”
