Aerial Evolution

I have been going to Silk classes at least twice a week now for 6 months and I love it here! The instructors really know how to encourage and teach, its my new favorite hobby. This is something you can do with No previous experience, they will guide you through each step and you will build all the strength and flexibility you need, I highly recommend going at least a couple times a week, its also a great stress reliever! Try something new and check out Aerial classes here they also offer Trapeze and hoop classes.

This place is absolutely wonderful for anyone from beginner to expert.
Aerial Evolution offers a wide array of classes at all skill levels. I’ve taken the following classes often in the six months that I’ve been a member: silks, trapeze, sphere, hoop, conditioning, and intensive stretching. Prior to joining AE I had never done anything like this! I have a long background in Yoga and less than two years experience in Pilates and rock climbing, BUT…
…let’s get personal — Just one week prior to my first class at AE (trapeze) I had finally been given a clear bill of health from my doctor after recovering from severe whiplash. I was starting out completely fresh from an activity stand-​point, I hadn’t done my regular amount of activity in over four months! I showed up to AE nervous about what kinds of things I could do because of my recent injury. I was given wonderful instruction, had a marvelous time and fell in love with aerial arts.
The instructors give clear direction and are very empathetic to each individuals experience/​comfort level. Everyone is approachable and highly knowledgable. The instructors are especially knowledgable about the human body and the proper ways to move/​bend when in top health or when dealing with an ailment/​injury. I’ve over heard other members express concern to the instructors of bad knees, sore spots, etc. This didn’t impede the members from participating because the instructors are experts and know how to work around ailments and give caution when needed.
Lets be real, we all want to secretly join the circus ;) If you are even mildly curious, I highly recommend trying this aerial gym out. The classes are extremely affordable and the experience is like nothing else. It is also a super fun thing to do with your friends!

Ok, I think it’s about time I wrote a review for Aerial Evolution.
I am in love with this place, so I think it’s only fitting that my first 5-​star review for a place in Sac (I know, gasp!) goes to Aerial Evolution.
I discovered Aerial Evolution completely by accident. I got an e-​mail from Living Social about a 5 class pass and I was going through a self-​improvement kick and decided I wanted to try something out of my normal comfort zone, so I just went for it.
I may be one of the few people that businesses ever hook through Living Social/​Groupon deals, but I completely fell in love.
Aerial Evolution is pretty much just hands down amazing.
With offerings that include aerial silks, aerial hoop/​lyra, trapeze, suspended pole, stretch, and conditioning, I have never been bored by coming here and am constantly challenged.
If you’ve ever found yourself intrigued by the idea of aerial arts, I highly highly highly encourage you to check it out!
I’m not going to lie, I was absolutely terrified of going to my first class, but the instructor (shout out to Cam!) and the other students were just amazingly supportive and kind. I had pretty much no upper body strength when I first started (my sister used to tell me that I have noodle arms), so it was definitely challenging at first. I used to come home complaining of everything hurting and waking up in the morning still feeling like everything was hurting, but when I see the progress I’ve made, it’s all been worth it.
I’ve taken classes with most of the instructors by now and across the board, everyone has been fantastic. Everyone genuinely loves to teach and it shows in the classes they lead.
Things to know:
— What to wear: make sure you wear tights! And beware of silk burns. Ouch.
— If you’re just getting started, probably start with Silks Level 1&2. It’s a great way to see if you’ll enjoy aerial stuff and provides you with some really good foundations and the conditioning to build up the strength for more challenging tricks.
— Location: all the classes are held in a gymnastics center, so there are tons of other things going on at the location other than the aerial classes. I will admit that sometimes I just find myself watching all the kids practicing their gymnastics tricks.
tl;dr: I only have positive things to say about Aerial Evolution and the wonderful team here! Lalalove it so much!
