Aerial CLT - Uptown

If you're looking for a fun way to mix up your fitness or to just to spice up your life with something new, Aerial CLT is definitely a spot to drop into. Watch the video below!

Reserve a private class for you and your friends, or pop into one of their intro classes where you'll find yourself challenged, inspired, and laughing while you find your grace and coordination. For those of you that don't know me, grace and coordination are not things I am blessed with - in water it may be a different story but not applicable on land. I am a klutz. My balance is awful, I run into walls trying to cut corners regularly and to say I do anything gracefully, well it just isn't true.

This class was (secretly) physically challenging (hello muscles I never knew existed) but exhilarating, fun, and so different from anything I've ever tried. "What the heck is 'secretly physically challenging' you ask? Secretly physically challenging is where you dont know you're working out but you certainly feel it the next day. You don't need to be in any particular level of shape to do this, but you will find yourselves in positions you never thought possible and just need to be open and ready to try.

Channeling my inner Cirque du Soleil for the hour, I left with a solid understanding and good comfort level to come back, having learned the basics of silks and even a bit more. The studio is clean, bright, beautiful and offers an array of circus arts skills for all levels. Aerial "hoops" are next on my bucket list and conveniently offered at Aerial CLT. A huge space with tall ceilings, the studio offers all the basic amenities, a bathrooms to change, cubbies for storage and a spectacular space to challenge yourself with something new.

Aerial CLT focuses on the artistic side of silks and uses slow and controlled movements to make your work seem effortless. Let me tell you it's certainly effort and you'll wake up feeling muscles you never knew existed the next morning but it's a great alternative to your traditional fitness studio.
