AIR Aerial Fitness - Ann Arbor (MI)

5 /5 Abigail McFee: I love AIR so much! I’m finishing up my first month as a member, and no studio in Ann Arbor has made me feel so at home. Dede is incredibly welcoming (and an amazing instructor), and I have loved my classes with her, Jake, and Lalita. The classes are full-body workouts that build strength and stamina, but they are also so playful and joyful — I love the way it feels to move and stretch in the silks. 50 minutes fly by. I find myself looking forward to class all day (not the norm for me — I usually dread workouts). There is great variety between the Foundation and Intermediate classes, Floor Lab, and Flow, so a given week really offers the opportunity for multiple kinds of movement depending on your mood. I feel like this is a hidden gem in Ann Arbor and can’t wait to keep coming back.

5 /5 Emily Yerington: AIR is a great non-traditional workout, but trust me it will make you sweat! I am the kind of person that can only excercize if its fun, and AIR delivers. They are great at providing accessibility to multiple levels of fitness. I am a competitive pole dancer and so I am comfortable with skills involving inversions, flexibility, body awareness, and am generally pretty strong. Ive found this to be a great cross-training. The Foundation classes will make you sweat!! And the Flow classes are good for mindfulness and flexibility. On the other hand, my partner has no fitness background whatsoever and does not workout or stretch regularly. He has also dropped into a few classes and greatly enjoyed them. So this is a space that can accommodate different levels of skill/strength/etc and make everyone feel comfortable, appropriately challenged and want to come back again for more. Our absolute favorite class so far was the Valentines Day Doubles workshop and we hope they do more partner workshops in the future -- so fun!

5 /5 Chelsea Hoye: I took my first class Friday and loved it so much I signed up for a month of unlimited classes. It was high energy, fun and different! The studio is cute, clean and organized well so you can follow along with the instructor. Lolita instructed the class and she was so welcoming and helpful. I have taken aerial classes before at a different studio & enjoyed it. This studio is more of a workout that incorporates silks - at least the beginners class. The app for this studio is easy to navigate and register for future classes. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in switching up their workout routine. You don’t need experience on silks to get a good sweat in.

5 /5 Bridget Ekquist: AIR classes and kids events are so much fun! The staff is kind, smart and knowledgeable. My daughters feel safe and supported while having fun and learning about aerial yoga! We will absolutely take more classes! A super great exercise and self care event for adults and kids!

5 /5 Kristen Kolka: I tried a class with Air in January and Im now a regular attendee in mid May. Every instructor is excellent and mindful, taking time to ensure everyone has a safe and fun experience. I love that Ive been able to go at my own pace as Ive built strength and endurance for all the fun poses and moves. You will learn youre capable of more than youd have imagined, and you dont have to be a professional!
