From the reviews

Now a year in and I wake up excited to go to the gym nearly every morning. After a year of being hesitant, and seeing my wife benefitting, to my surprise CrossFit Aerial has changed my life in more ways than health and fitness. Great welcoming community of people.

★★★★★ — Richard, Mar 2025

I have been a member with CrossFit Aerial for about 2 months. The coaching staff here at CrossFit Aerial help me maintain my goals by continuously checking in, and encouraging me to become a version of myself that holds myself accountable.

★★★★★ — Tessa, May 2024

A year and a half ago, was my first time ever stepping into a CrossFit gym and it happened to be CrossFit Aerial. I had no idea what I was doing and I was extremely nervous, but I was immediately welcomed by the coaches and community. Everyone is so encouraging no matter what your size, skill, or ability is.

★★★★★ — Leah, Oct 2024

I decided to give Crossfit a try around 6 years ago and found my community at Aerial. After years of focusing on being a Mom, I decided it was time to focus on my health and strength so I can continue to be a good role model for them and play with them as they grow.

Your first pole class at CrossFit Aerial

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.
