Class Info

Introduction

This “Intro” class is designed to introduce you to the Antigravity® fitness method where you will learn the correct grips, wraps and fundamental techniques that will allow you to experience the zero-compression inversion that AntiGravity Fitness is so famous for. It is essential that you attend at least 1 Aerial Fitness Intro class before advancing onto the other Aerial Fitness classes. The focus is on Fun and Safety.

Beginners

Once you have mastered the basics you can progress to our beginners class where we progress fundamental movements and challenge you with poses and inversions to build your strength, flexibility and confidence.

Although there are many benefits to Aerial Fitness; there are several contraindications to performing inversions and we would need to be mindful of how to adapt movements to best suit your needs. Please refer to the Health Considerations {insert link}

FAQ's

What do I wear?

Wear t-shirts that cover your underarms (for comfort and hygiene purposes)
Wear close-fitting clothing preferably, or which you can tuck in.
Tights or longer shorts for men. Please ensure these do not have zips.
Remove jewellery, watches and hair clips which can damage our hammocks.

Is there a weight limit?

The hammocks are tested to support over 500kg, the size of a baby elephant, so rest assured you can trust your hammock to support you.

I get dizzy and motion sick easily, what should I do?

Our Aerial fitness classes do include moving in the hammock which can cause sensations of dizziness, motion sickness and tension in certain people. What we suggest is you disclose this to us in your screening process and we can guide you through some modifications. It can take a few classes to become accustomed to the movements, learn how to relax and breathe properly. We also have ginger on-hand if that helps settle the stomach. We emphasise the need to monitor your own resistance so you have ‘chillax’ position to resort to if feeling unwell.

Do I need to be strong or flexible to do Aerial Fitness?

No. We are very experienced trainers and can adapt exercises to suit all abilities; as long as you have use of all your limbs and are not suffering from an acute injury you will be catered for in our Introduction class.

When do I know to move to the Beginners class?

We enforce a minimum of 1 Introduction class, but suggest you may do 4 or more to gain confidence with the techniques. We will be able to guide you on your progressions too.

What are the contraindications to Aerial Fitness?

We perform zero-compression inversions during our classes which in basic terms, flips you upside down! Sound scary but we guarantee you that this will be the easiest inversion you will ever do. We also can modify and adapt this movement for you if you prefer not to invert. There are many other benefits of our classes without inverting.

Precautions to inversions should be taken if you:

Have very low or very high blood pressure or heart abnormalities
Have glaucoma or recent eye surgeries
Are pregnant (our aerial fitness classes are not suitable for pregnancy)
Easy onset vertigo, dizziness, fainting
Botox within the last 6 hours
Spinal injuries
