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. A mask is required upon entry of the studio, but once we have measured you for the hammocks, you may take it off during the workout. Please put the mask back on once you end the class and start moving around in the studio. Please help us keep our space safe by cleaning your mats if you used one of ours.

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

Fighting Gravity Fitness is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s premier Aerial Yoga, Aerial Fitness & Lyra Studio that is designed for the average person seeking a fun and unique way of fitness in Aerials.

“You may not be ready to run off with the circus or perform in the next Cirque du Soliel show but you sure will have fun while learning!

Aerial fitness is the biggest, and fastest-growing trend among many and is the most fun way to exercise and build a beautiful and strong body as well as gain confidence in our light-hearted and relaxed atmosphere.

We offer a variety of Aerial fitness and strength-building classes such as Aerial Dance and Aerial Flips & Tricks well as relaxing and stretching Aerial classes including Aerial Yoga, Aerial Gentle Stretch, and Aerial Restorative with a guided meditation.  Everyone starts at a beginner level then gradually progresses to whatever level you are comfortable with.

We are 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 the average 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 utilize 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 Du Soleil 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 different way to workout.

Having variety in your fitness routine keeps you active and engaged, keeps your muscles guessing, uses many different muscles, and helps prevent overuse injuries.  It keeps the brain young by learning new things and helps prevent boredom. We have the largest variety of Aerial classes offered in any small boutique fitness studio.

Give us a call!

You may not want to run off with the circus, but maybe just trying to find something new that is fun, exciting, and just that perfect thing that will keep you active, build confidence and make you stronger inside and out!
