Flexibility
We'll work to improve your flexibility class by class. No, you don't have to be flexible to take this class, but yes it's hard. Instructors use a combination of exercises and stretches to help you reach your goals.
Cardio & Conditioning
This is the class that we all SHOULD take, but might need that extra push to commit to! =P Want to build some strength before trying an aerial class or working to reach those aerial strength goals? This class is for everybody and every level! We do our best to make cross training fun, so come and sweat it out with friends as we work on getting stronger safely. This all-level conditioning class will utilize floor and pole exercises using your own body weight and a small set of equipment (bands, block and the such), to build strength and stamina.
