For safety reasons, ARADIA FITNESS REQUIRES ALL STUDENTS TO PASS AN ASSESSMENT WITH AN INSTRUCTOR PRIOR TO ADVANCING TO THE NEXT LEVEL. Taking at least one class per week (if not more) will help you progress faster than taking classes infrequently (your frequency will determine how many classes you may need to reach the strength to assess to the next level) . Students are welcome to attend any Silks or Lyra level class at their current approved level or any lower level.
** IMPORTANT ** First-time aerial students must begin with an “Intro to Aerials” class. After completion of your Intro class, you will then be eligible to attend any Silks L1 or Lyra L1 on the schedule. During your first class, your instructor will give you an overview of how clients can progress through their aerial journey at Aradia Fitness!
Clients who are a first-time visitor to Aradia Fitness, but already have aerial experience, should email us at Contact Us prior to your first class for a consultation & level placement. We welcome aerial enthusiasts from near & far to train with us at Aradia Fitness! Also, if you’ve had more than a 2 month break from aerial, you may want to level down for just a few classes to ensure your strength is still on pace for your current level.
