From the reviews
Awesome place to join! They offer Lyra, silks, trapeze, hand balancing, contortion, etc. All of the instructors are awesome and highly trained. A fun group of people and Welcoming environment. Highly addictive sport. I started with drop in classes and now a flight club member.
My daughter loves Upside Aerial Arts! It's one of the very few places in this area to study hand balancing and contortion. Her instructor is amazing and genuinely cares about the progress of their students. The owner is fantastic and has been incredibly helpful with payments and scheduling in particular.
My 14 year old daughter and I did a semi-private aerial silks class with Jamie and it was so fun! And hard, but in a good way! We laughed and played, swung around and hung upside down - what's not to love! Jamie was so kind and welcoming, and challenged us to do more than I would have expected for a first class.
I’ve been taking classes here for a few months, my teachers are so good at what they do. There’s never a dull moment and I feel like I’ve been making so much progress in my aerial silks journey!
Your first pole class at Upside Aerial Arts & 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.
