Fighting Gravity Fitness is happy to announce we’re open and back at full capacity from the COVID restrictions! We now have a good variety of Virtual classes and even a new outdoor location in beautiful Powhatan County! Check them out online.  We want you to keep your practice going no matter what your preferred way to practice is. The classes and locations may look a bit different on the Mindbody site so be sure to choose the correct choice of either in Studio/Richmond location, Virtually, or Outdoor/Powhatan location. Each class will have either Virtual or Outdoor in front of their names to ensure you are signing up for the correct class location.  Everything is listed on the “Schedule” page and more detail is listed on Mindbody here…

ADDRESS FOR OUTDOOR AERIAL CLASSES IN POWHATAN:

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 if you have one and your own towels. If you borrowed one of our mats, please spray them down and wipe them off after use. For your safety and peace of mind, we wash or sterilize the hammocks after each person’s use.  We encourage all Aerial students to buy their own hammocks and bring them with them each time they come to class. You can buy a new hammock by pre-ordering or buy a used “Retired” hammock at a discounted price. Otherwise, we will have hammocks provided for you.

A mask is required upon entry into the studio if you have not been vaccinated.

We are still limiting the number of people we have in our space, so please remain outside until the class before yours has exited.

CANCELATION POLICY: PLEASE cancel at least 4 hours before class time in order to allow someone on the waitlist to attend in your place. If you are a large group registered for the same class, we ask you to cancel at least 24 hours before class time. Private Parties and Workshops please cancel at least 7 days prior.  Late cancels and no-shows will lose a class count or will be charged a no-show/late cancel fee since we need all limited spots to be filled.  Sorry, No Refunds for no-shows or late cancels. No exceptions!

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