Aerial Fitness
Aerial Fitness is designed to build the strength, flexibility, and body awareness required for successful inverts in aerial arts. This class focuses on exercises that target core stability, upper body strength, and hip mobility, providing the foundational skills necessary for safe and effective inverting on apparatuses like silks, hoop, and trapeze.
Prerequisites: none.
Beginner Trial Class
This one-hour class will introduce you to a variety of basic, low-to-the-ground moves on aerial silks, trapeze, and other aerial apparatuses, depending on which instructor is teaching! Check out the studio, meet an instructor, and find out if aerial arts are for you!

Prerequisite: at least 1 session on any apparatus.
Core Conditioning
Core conditioning is an all levels strengthening class for those trying to level up aerial and non-aerial goals. We will start off with 15 min of high energy movement to get the body mobile, followed by ab, leg, and back conditioning, ending with a cool down stretch. Fitness apparel with easy to remove layers recommended for this class. Apparatus free and open to all skill and fitness levels!
