ADDRESS FOR OUTDOOR AERIAL CLASSES IN POWHATAN LOCATION: 1545 Meade Point Dr. Powhatan, Va. 23139

Registration is the same as before. All classes must be pre-registered

The protocol is different since COVID, so we ask you to please bring your own yoga mat and towels. For your safety and peace of mind, we take the hammocks down after each person uses it and swap it out for a clean one each time.  We are encouraging all Aerial students to buy your own hammocks and bring it with you each time you come to class. You can buy a used “Retired” hammock at a discounted price or you can rent one of ours for just $15.00 per month.

We look forward to finally seeing you in the studio!!!

We have recently consolidated both studios A & B into one location. We are now in Studio B, located at 1913 W. Cary St. Richmond, Va. Due to the Covid-19 effect on the economy, we feel this was a wise financial decision in this uncertain time.

We ask you for your continued support, and thank you for your business! 

Fighting Gravity Fitness is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s premier Aerial Yoga, Aerial Fitness & Lyra fitness Studio with a variety of other fitness and strength building classes included. Located at 1913 W. Cary St. Richmond, Va.  Aerial Yoga and Aerial Fitness is a new style of yoga that combines traditional yoga, Pilates, dance, gymnastics and acrobatics with the use of a hammock that allows students to practice postures and poses that ordinarily may not have been available while grounded on the mat. It has many health and wellness benefits. You will improve your flexibility, circulation, cardiovascular health and joint mobility. We utilizes suspension techniques designed to strengthen and stretch the whole body, increase muscular tone, decompress the spine, boost digestion, and lighten one’s mood all while having fun and laughing with your class mates. In Aerial Yoga you achieve more than a simple stretch. You will progress to more advanced poses while increasing your overall health, strength and agility. It also is a fun way to exercise and get fit, or to stretch and relax. We offer all levels of Aerial Fitness from beginner introductory classes and Aerial Yoga and Gentle Stretch to circus type Aerial Dance & Aerial Flips & Tricks too! We make every class fun and engaging and although you are getting a great workout, you never get bored or dread the workout!

Lyra is a circus art that you normally would see in those awesome Cirque Del Soule shows. It’s beautiful and elegant, but also challenging. We introduce it to you as another form of fun fitness that YOU can do. You don’t have to come from the circus or be a performer to try these classes.  We are the only studio in the area that are not performers, but real people. We are fitness instructors trained and certified to teach Lyra and Aerial arts, helping others find a unique and fun and unique way to workout.

We also have many other types of fitness classes that are not in the hammocks or the Lyra becasue variety in fitness is the key to sticking with a fitness plan. Having variety in your fitness routine keeps you active and engaged, keeps your muscles guessing and uses many different muscles. This helps prevent overuse injuries, keeps the brain learning new things and helps provent boredom. We have the largest variety of classes offered in any small boutique fitness studio. We welcome all races, religeous beliefs, sexual orientations and sizes. We hope to see you soon!
