Frequent Flyers Productions Aerial Dance Studio

If you’ve ever been to Lannie’s Clocktower on a Thursday night and seen Midnite Martini perform or watch the lovely ladies doing magnificent tricks from cloth hangings at a DeVotchka concerts and been slightly envious of their talents or just had a desire to do it too then you should really check out what’s going down at Frequent Flyers.
Sure, this is fitness. I mean my whole upper body was sore for days after my class here. But, it’s also a lot of fun that brings to mind all the things in the opening sentence as well as many childhood afternoons flipping over and over on monkey bars.
You can take a specific class that is geared toward fitness even. It creates little stations around hoops, cloths, ropes, walls, and so on where you have different challenges to do in a certain amount of time. And once you get strong enough you can advance to the next level where you are doing aerial activities like it ain’t no thing.
Beyond the class though the instructors are fabulous. They are great at explaining the moves and not making you feel like a dunce when your upper body just doesn’t want to lift you up on two rings and hold you there while you throw your legs overhead slowly and lower them back down. That is key to any enjoyment in exercise for me.
I believe they do packs and single pricing for classes and I have to say it’s definitely worth checking out.

I’m afraid of heights. Like, vertigo on a step ladder levels of acrophobia. So, I was a little apprehensive about taking an «aerial fitness» class at Frequent Flyers.
Turns out, I had nothing to be afraid of because I didn’t get too high up. I just got an insane upper body workout from climbing ropes and hanging on trapezes.
I’ll be honest, I think I have a little bit more strength training to do before I can truly benefit from this class, but just the fact that I spent the entire class with a big olé smile on my face means that, sometime in the future, this is definitely something I want to try again.
The staff that taught this class was patient, encouraging and had a great sense of humor about fitness. They made me feel welcome and comfortable, even though I was waaaaaay out of my comfort zone.
This is a super fun place and I can’t wait to try aerial stuff a little more once I feel like I have a little more core strength going on.
