Q: What is the appropriate class attire?

A:  Our favorite place to shop for workout apparel is our Aerial Fitness Shop.

 

Q: What should I bring with me?

A: Please bring water, a yoga mat (for stretching) if desired, and the spirit to work hard and accomplish amazing things in class.

 

Q: What if I can't climb the silk?

A: There are many exercises you can accomplish without climbing the silk.  You will learn to utilize the fabric to help increase your strength and flexibility while building body awareness at your own pace.  As you start to fire up the new muscles in your body, they will slowly get stronger to the point where you will eventually climb the silk.

A: There is no set weight limit for the class.  If you have concerns you can always contact us.

Q: Do I have to be able to do a pull-up?

A: You do not have to be able to do a pull-up.  But the good news is, you will eventually build enough strength to do a pull-up!

 

Q: What if I have a fear of heights?

A:  Aerial Fitness is a great way to conquer your fear of heights. Our instructors will never ask you to do something she does not think you are ready for.  You will learn to face your fear by building trust and confidence in yourself and your ability.  Our instructors also have a fear of heights and we believe that the fear will always keep you safe.

 

Q: Can I still take the class if I am not flexible?

A:  You do not need to be flexible to begin Aerial Fitness classes.  You will learn different exercises on the ground and in the air that will help you increase your flexibility over time.

 

Q: Will I have safety lines while training?

A:  Although there will be no safety lines in Aerial Fitness, we will always have crash pads and mats under you to ensure your safety.  You will build strength and different skill sets in your training to prepare yourself before ascending up the fabric.  You also do not need to go very high if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
