A friend and I decided to take flying trapeze for fun; upon arriving the workers here are very friendly and accommodating. I appreciate the positive and upbeat approach to nervous clients that never done this before. In the beginning of the class we were stretching full body and we were lucky enough to see a rehearsal during our class. We were instructed to come up the ladder and be strapped with a harness. The next steps they vocally announced was that we had to hook our legs and hang upside down while arch our backs. I was quite nervous to be honest and my first time doing this so this task was hard to achieve. I'm slightly afraid of heights and wanted to get over that fear; however as I was struggling emotionally/physically our coach Carol was giving me tough love advice. At first I was discouraged at this and took it personal because my body physically couldn't do it (perhaps this was a mental block) and I couldn't move onto the next level (having someone catch you). My friend eventually got to do it and I slightly got discouraged at this point. Looking back at it however I know she meant well. Regardless, it was an amazing experience. read more
