(no aerial experience necessary). 
  • Weekly open gyms ($12-$15): two hours of personal training time with an experienced gym monitor.
Suitable for currently enrolled aerial students, or those with aerial experience who can pass an equivalency. (see below)

We accept cash (exact change) and checks in studio, but we very much prefer you pay ahead online!
All payments are non-refundable except in the case of class/event cancellation. Memberships
