From the reviews

I really had a great experience! This was my first time trying circus aerial and I was nervous at first but once I started learning with my teacher all that melted away. She explained everything in a way that was easy for me to comprehend and replicate.

★★★★★ — Kiona, Feb 2021

I've been taking classes here for about four years. I can honestly say that no other type of exercise is as fun and challenging at the same time. I have taken classes from other studios when I've been out of town for an extended time period, and what I've noticed is that ABAF teaches you more in one class than you…

★★★★★ — Margot, Sep 2019

My 10-yr old daughter had great interest in learning more about how to do Circus Aerials after spending time on the ribbons (I think they are silks) at Defy and after seeing the Air Born Aerials perform at 4th Friday several times. After her first visit this past weekend, she is ready for round 2!

★★★★★ — Brittany, Jan 2019

I had an awesome experience at Air Born! It was my first time and I was a little nervous but our teacher did a great job of explaining and progressing us through the different positions. And best of all, I didn’t fall on my head!

Bachelorette & private parties at Air Born Aerial Fitness

Air Born Aerial Fitness comes up for private parties, going by their listing and students’ reviews. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.

Your first pole class at Air Born Aerial Fitness

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.
