From the reviews

It’s crazy to me that in such a few amounts of months I have found a happy place. I’ve done things from swimming, to CrossFit, to strength training to this and I can honestly say that nothing compares to AIR yoga! I’ve never felt so comfortable in a space. Every instructor brings their own passion to class.

★★★★★ — Alexis, Mar 2022

I love this place!!! You are not only getting a great workout but also have so much fun. The instructors are all amazing. Highly recommend to everyone.

★★★★★ — Fran, Jun 2022

AIR is my favorite way to work out. It's fun, has a great community, and there is always a new challenge. Erin, the owner, is great! She's kind and very knowledgeable. I'm writing this in April 2020, so it's not open currently. But... I can't wait to go back to the silks.

★★★★★ — Anne, Apr 2020

Taking yoga here with silks is so much fun. I feel like I get a really good stretch and overall a great workout. The silks help isolate the muscles and get deeper into a stretch. I did only regular yoga before and at first I worried this would be too scary. It is not. Holding on to the silks for poses feels stable.

Your first pole class at AIR® Aerial Fitness - Winnetka

Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.

Pole is for every body, and it's about strength, artistry, and confidence — not performing for anyone else. If you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
