I was the only student for class as it was two days after Christmas. Natalie Keller was home visiting from school in London and taught the class while Mistia worked on administrative duties. I did my own warm-up and then Natalie helped me clean-up my technique on climbs and other moves. She also showed me a new climb from catchers as well as conditioning moves to help me obtain my handstand. I loved my private lesson from Natalie and would definitely take classes if I lived here.

The class can accommodate a wide range of physical ability and flexibility. The instructor was great at offering variations depending on what you're looking for - gentle assisted stretching to more advanced inversions and strength training. You'll most likely surprise yourself with what you're capable of! I loved the studio space too - it felt peaceful and lively and there was enough space to do your thing. They offer great packages if you get hooked and want to be a regular. Give yourself a little extra time to park and find the studio if it's your first time!

The aerial element allows for deeper stretches, fun inversions, and an extra relaxing shavasana in a hammock cocoon at the end. The instructor was great and catered to beginners well. They also offer fitness classes that look like they'd be a great workout. Can't wait to go back!

I was visiting Denver for the first time and wanted to take an aerial class…read more The instructor was very awesome! And I really enjoyed the class. I wish I could come to this more often, but I kinda live too far away to continue attending (and didn't love Denver enough as a whole to be visiting much). I wanted to dock a star because I did not enjoy navigating here or parking (there are only 3-6 legitimate spaces for multiple classes, of which ours was 7; the rest are all labeled as tow away and you just risk it with the assumption it's fine? I am not a fan of that).

I popped in for an intermediate hoop/lyra class while traveling and am glad I did! I was able to…read morebook the class on Classpass (thanks for that accessible booking option!). It was easy to sign up. The location was a little harder to find as it's in the back of a warehousy looking strip of buildings. The parking is also confusing as they have just a few designated spots (that were already taken when I arrived) and the rest were labeled for other businesses. They did have directions on the door for where to park but I was still a mite worried about parking my rental in the lot. The door was open and I was able to start stretching while the previous class finished up. The class was awesome! Challenging and fun. The other students and teacher were friendly and welcoming. Overall a great time and I learned something new!

Sure, this is fitness. I mean my whole upper body was sore for days after my class here. But, it's also a lot of fun that brings to mind all the things in the opening sentence as well as many childhood afternoons flipping over and over on monkey bars. You can take a specific class that is geared toward fitness even. It creates little stations around hoops, cloths, ropes, walls, and so on where you have different challenges to do in a certain amount of time. And once you get strong enough you can advance to the next level where you are doing aerial activities like it ain't no thing. Beyond the class though the instructors are fabulous. They are great at explaining the moves and not making you feel like a dunce when your upper body just doesn't want to lift you up on two rings and hold you there while you throw your legs overhead slowly and lower them back down. That is key to any enjoyment in exercise for me. I believe they do packs and single pricing for classes and I have to say it's definitely worth checking out.

I'm afraid of heights. Like, vertigo on a step ladder levels of acrophobia. So, I was a little…read moreapprehensive about taking an "aerial fitness" class at Frequent Flyers. Turns out, I had nothing to be afraid of because I didn't get too high up. I just got an insane upper body workout from climbing ropes and hanging on trapezes. I'll be honest, I think I have a little bit more strength training to do before I can truly benefit from this class, but just the fact that I spent the entire class with a big ole smile on my face means that, sometime in the future, this is definitely something I want to try again. The staff that taught this class was patient, encouraging and had a great sense of humor about fitness. They made me feel welcome and comfortable, even though I was waaaaaay out of my comfort zone. This is a super fun place and I can't wait to try aerial stuff a little more once I feel like I have a little more core strength going on.

First off, if you have never done pole dancing before, you have to try it! It's not like stripping…read moreat all. More like a mixture of acrobatics and dancing. Go check out Youtube videos on pole dancing championships. I am not an athletic person and I have no body awareness, but after that first class, I was hooked. Sign up for one of their Intro classes. You'll get a great work out and you won't even realize how hard you worked until the next day. If you want to pole because you want a really hard workout, this isn't the class for you (at least not until you test out of the Beginner level). But if you want to do something fun and challenging, this is it! I've been taking classes with Vertical Fusion for ~3 months at the Boulder and Longmont studios. The Boulder studio is confusing at first because it's located in the back of Apex Movement. The Boulder studio is large and have plenty of room for a class of 8-10. The Longmont studio is smaller for ideally 5-6. Both are closed off to protect the privacy of everyone in class. Most of the other students have been women, but I've seen a few men welcome, too! They also have teenager friendly classes for students 13-17. Also each instructor's style is different. Some are more focused on dancing. Some are more focused on form. Some like to bring sexy into the moves. Mostly mine have been patient because I'm slow to learn with anything athletic. The ones who've been teaching and dancing longer are better, but the owner never places an instructor in a class that they can't confidently teach. I attend 1 class a week. I'd love to attend more, but I'm on a budget and it costs $15-$20 a class. It's a little pricy for me but that's really comparable to other fitness classes. What really takes this place to 5 stars is the owner, Melanie. She is really committed to her business and is very customer oriented. I've had more than my fair share of billing issues and Melanie always worked with me no questions asked. When I've talked to the other students about any issues they've had with billing (missing a class, rescheduling, etc.) Melanie has always been very helpful and flexible with them too. Melanie also scheduled an additional 7th class in a 6-week series so some of her students who had to miss one when a workshop took the regular time slot could make up the class and get their money's worth. The best part is that my instructor told Melanie that I planned on retaking the beginner series (I'm really uncoordinated) so she called me and the other women in my class to schedule the next series for us. I think the only problem I ever had with the studio is some mixed messages on how testing out worked. I was taking Intro/Beginner classes for a few weeks not realizing that those classes are only going to cover a small portion of what you need to know to test out of Beginner. I think part of that confusion was that the instructor was inexperienced compared to others I've taken classes with.

I love taking her intermediate pole classes at the Boulder studio. There's such a friendly community here, with high studio ceilings, long class times, and solid variety on the schedule. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so get there early. If you're in or around the Boulder area, definitely check out Vertical Fusion!
