Aerobics is BACK !
Cruising in from 1986 in their Delorean, Synthetics have arrived in Leeds only to discover fitness has become serious, functional and legwarmerless! We are here to take Fitness back out of it’s industrial box and back into the sparkly aerobics studio where it belongs!
Co-created by professional dancer, model & PT fitness instructor Ben Skevy & 1/4 of The Overtones and music producer Mark Franks. Synthetics was born through their mutual love of the 80’s decade and fuses an authentic Jane Fonda-esq workout with the moves of Hot Gossip and Solid Gold and a RAD 80’s Soundtrack ! 🙂
ABOUT SYNTHETICS
We have worked with high end brands such as luxury sportswear label Sweaty Betty on their zero gravity and retro print wear launch in London, interviewed for fitness and wellness collective company Well + Good NYC and were an integral part of the creative direction team for Missguided in their #Lovethyself campaign. This campaign encompassed the body positive, female empowerment movement challenging traditional model stereotypes & perceptions. Here we brought the Synthetics ethos of fun & fitness for every and anyone’ with any body type which aligned perfectly with Missguided’s campaign message.
The Synthetics crew are also known on the road for appearing at events & festivals such as The Nostalgia Show, Soul Circus fitness & music festival, and also the epic super festival Carfest bursting into huge authentic 80’s freestyle aerobics workouts wherever and whenever they can ! We also have the performance company which produces authentic 80’s dance & immersive experiences. From Epic club night shows in London with iconic Club De Fromage to Synthetics: The Show which was launched at The Underbelly Festival on London’s Southbank to huge acclaim. A spectacular mega mix and multimedia explosion of all things 80’s! With authentic retro choreography, 80’s pop culture , madcap comedy and nostalgic old school aerobics. The show was jam packed full of 80’s music, TV, movies, fashion and fitness from the era taste forgot.
During lockdown we have worked with Mr. Motivator on the Stay Home, Save Lives, Save the NHS campaign and also have been beamed out across the world to all the British Armed Forces bases alongside fitness legends like Dame Kelly Holmes with BFBS Forces Fit to keep our Boys fit, motivated and boost moral to the max!
