Faye Miller is the founder and driving force behind Athena Fitness and Athena Circus Academy—an established aerial and pole training space known for its high standards, supportive environment, and strong sense of community.

With over 18 years of experience in the pole and aerial industry, Faye has built Athena Fitness into a thriving, multi-disciplinary studio offering training across pole, aerial hoop, silks, static trapeze, sling, aerial cube, flying pole, and more. Her vision has always been to create a space where students of all ages and abilities can progress with confidence, feel supported, and achieve at both recreational and competitive levels.

As a performer, coach, and choreographer, Faye brings a wealth of industry experience into every aspect of the studio. She has performed across the UK, including large-scale events in front of audiences of up to 10,000 people, and continues to lead from the front through her teaching, creative direction, and mentorship.

Faye is the creative force behind Circesque, Athena’s signature theatre production, which showcases the talent within the studio through professionally directed and choreographed performances. She is also the co-director of Elevate Kent, providing a high-quality, professional competition platform for aerial and pole performers across the region.

In addition to running Athena Fitness, Faye is a certified pole and aerial judge, regularly invited to judge national-level competitions. She is known for her high standards, attention to detail, and ability to develop confident, well-rounded performers—particularly within youth training and group performance work.

Outside of the studio, Faye is a proud mum to Teddy & Meadow.
