The owner, Kristy, is exceptional. It is clear that she has had a lot of experience working with kids. She was encouraging and helpful and enthusiastic. She really connected with the girls and made them feel so comfortable. The activity itself was a big hit with the girls. None of them had ever tried aerial arts before, and some were a little nervous about it. But after just a few minutes, Kristy had them upside down and smiling. Each girl absolutely wants to do this again. It was so fun, and a great workout, too. I would recommend this as a team building/bonding activity, birthday party, or even just a fitness class. Wonderful five star experience.

My daughter also goes here now to benefit from the detail-oriented coaching and instruction. The reviews on Yelp are what brought me to Aerial Method in the first place so it feels only right to contribute my own. They've built such an inclusive environment where people of all ages, shapes, genders etc. grow in aerial and support each other. No matter where you are in your aerial journey, your fitness, or your age, moves and poses are tailored to you to help you grow. It's such a supportive community, and I've made some incredible friendships. I'm grateful to have found these guys.

Weeeeeeee!!! I took…read moremy second aerial hammock class with Sepida, a sweetheart with the muscle definition of a goddess! I found it great that this new-ish studio has beautiful high ceilings and a $20 introductory offer for first time fliers, so I hastily booked the class. They have a very user friendly website with convenient online sign up for both their group classes and semi-private and private lessons. In this late night class (8:14-9:45pm), there were two students including myself. The other student (Belle) also happens to be one of the aerialist instructors! So it was nice to basically be surrounded by experts. Class starts out with light stretching... and when I mean light, I mean light. Lol! When I return I'll be sure to stretch a bit on my own. I do like that there is plenty of time to work on the silk and because the class size is so small, you get to be up flying for even longer. Sepida is really good at recognizing your strengths and challenges and is sure to communicate ALWAYS to see how you are feeling. Tired? Take a rest and stretch. Ready for more? Get up and be challenged! There is also water and pretzels in case you need a little more hydration or salt! Make sure to bring your skid resistant socks for class, they are required! Otherwise you can buy some from them for $5 (toe socks or no toe socks)! Can't wait to go back!

I've been attending a weekly silk class at The Aerial Classroom for 8 weeks and here is what I've…read morenoticed: Week 1: I had no idea what to expect going in. I flopped around on the silks like a pigeon caught in barbed wire. The next day my whole body was sore but the class was fun so I decided to go again. Week 2: Learning new moves. I think I started this 30 years too late to make it Cirque De Soleil but I like it so I'll keep going. It feels like my posture is getting better. Week 3: My clothes are fitting better. I've lost at least an inch off my stomach. Week 4: Very little cramping at that time of the month compared to normal. Week 5: This is addictive, I feel like I need more of this new drug. Every tree I see becomes potentially climbable. Week 6: Come to think of it that pain in my neck and shoulders that was there for years hasn't been there since I started this. Week 7: This might be some kind of Benjamin Button thing because I feel younger. Week 8: Monthly cramping is gone. I feel mentally sharper. I've discovered the fountain of youth. Granted all of these are the effects of exercise, but I find just going to the gym and doing the same thing over and over to be boring. With acrobatics there is always something new to learn.

So from the moment we walked in the vibe was majorly off. We found Jessica to be quite rude she…read morebarely introduced herself and just passed us the waiver. We just came to have fun there was no free play. I don't believe she smiled once. I get someone having an off day but that is when you professionally apologize. We drove 2 hours to deal with her stale attitude. After about 45 minutes of her bad vibe I stopped and was stretching and her response was you have about 15 minutes if you are done let me get you out of your harness and you guys can go. We paid $150 for a two person class and after asked if there was a water fountain and she said no but you can buy water for $1. Really $150 and you can't comp a bottle of your off brand generic water?!!! So what to know if she's having a good day ... She has different harnesses some are more comfortable than others. I would not recommend the class if you are looking for fun. I could see it being good for someone who is looking for technique.

I've been going for a couple of months now and have tried classes with…read moredifferent apparatuses and instructors, and while not every apparatus is for me, all the instructors have been fantastic. Classes are tough but accessible and attitudes are encouraging. I am an absolute beginner. (Or I was, a couple of months ago, when I started. Now I'm an absolute-minus-a-whisker beginner!) Not only that, I've never been particularly strong or successful in physical activity, or well coordinated, or confident. This isn't just the first place I felt a complete lack of judgment, but the first place that has actually let me develop physical skills. Never been able to do a push-up before and now I can do a few in a row. Never climbed a rope, but I can (almost!) climb a silk. Something else that really stands out is how much instructors pick up on your movements. Several times, I've been given suggestions about how to improve based specifically on how my body works, like trying something first with my left side because I'm left-footed, or the fact that I have some hypermobility. I knew there was something different about the way I moved, but that's the first time I had a word for it. Believe is a great place to learn. The atmosphere is welcoming, encouraging, and accepting. While every class is definitely a workout, it's more like an activity. It's fun and challenging, and writing as someone who has join several gyms and dreaded every workout... I look forward to going every week.

I still feel like this is one of the best aerial spaces in Los Angeles, but I could be a bit biased to the high ceilings and making such great connections at this studio. Only thing I would love, is if they offered more hammock classes and open gym slots. It I know they also offer probates with instructors so I'm sure they have to accommodate a lot of that too. Nonetheless it's my home studio now

Each class is a little different, and I definitely recommend "shopping around" to see which instructor you prefer the most. For most of my classes I've been with Veronica on Sundays, and it has been such an amazing experience. Firstly, I was consistent for 3 weeks, then took a 5 month hiatus. Veronica remembered me instantly when I returned. Secondly, she's always looking out to make sure I'm safe whenever I'm doing anything. She's incredibly patient ensuring that I'm doing the form correctly and very knowledgeable in avoiding any potential mistakes or problems. Finally, she's aware of my own personal level and experience- she knows when to push me to try and do a little more. Finally this space is such a vibe! The ambiance truly enhances the experience and has so much character and charm.

Ok, so maybe I wasn't her target market because Noelle's Perfect Fitness is targeted towards a…read moreslightly (and I only mean slightly) older demographic, but being a former fitness trainer, I'm always open to try new workout routines. Let me tell you...as simple as some of the moves are and as easy as Noelle makes it look...it's a workout! I tried the pocket pilates (despite not being a big pilates fan) and it's a great 10 minute routine for those days where you JUST don't have time to get a workout in and I still broke a sweat! Don't get me wrong...I play beach vball fairly regularly and have a normal workout routine, so I'm definitely not sedentary. So if a simple 10 minute pilates workout can get me to break a sweat...that's pretty good (either that or I have the flexibility of an OX...which is debatable) Core and balance are some of my weak spots...My abs are pretty good but I guess core isn't just abs now isn't it? (rhetorical question) I can see how this would be really good for those in their 40s and 50s that need to really focus on core and balance for longevity. You'll walk better and have more energy. If I can feel the benefits in my late 30s...then 40s and 50s would DEFINITELY feel it. I think Noelle's personality also completely separates the effectiveness of her workouts from others. I can totally see some other dead-pan trainer doing the same training and helping me get only half the level of results. Noelle kept me engaged and distracted at the toughest moments so I couldn't really think about struggling...I actually had to stop a couple times to laugh. (excuse to not keep pushing...I know) I think I'm going to try her Shedding Off The Years workouts next and get a head start "shedding off the years". =P Looking forward to the next workout!
