Fly into our aerial conditioning class to gain better control and power in the air! This class caters to all levels and can be as challenging as you like. Our stance on any class is go to your own pace & listen to your body. We will have a hoop, silks and aerial straps rigged to cross train on so you can get a handle on different apparatus which works your grip and body in different ways. Cross training is incredibly valuable to train muscles that do not get the attention they need in your specific discipline/sport/art and is instrumental in injury prevention!
