Accessory Strength Series
with Emrah & Josh
Regardless of your current level, take your acrobatic capacity to the next level with our structured 8-Week Strength Intensive. Built specifically for floor and aerial acrobats, this series replaces random drop-in workouts with real, periodized strength development. The complete program incorporates structured loading phases, a strategic deload week, and baseline/post-series testing to give you clear, quantifiable proof of your progress.
To ensure proper fatigue management alongside your regular skill training, our 45-minute sessions follow a dedicated movement split:
Push/Pull on Mondays at 5:30 pm
Anterior Chain on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm
Posterior Chain on Fridays at 5:30 pm
Everyone trains using RPE-based loading that adapts to your daily physical state, with exercise variations tailored specifically for Bases, Flyers, and Aerialists. Enrollment includes the full 8-week block, 3 classes per week (except on holidays).

Handstands & Coffee
Two hours upside down, fueled by courage (and caffeine).
For the truly committed (and a little bit caffeinated) — our Saturday Handstand & Espresso class is a two-hour deep dive into skill, strength, and consistency. This extended format gives you the time to refine technique, build endurance, and explore new challenges without the rush. Come early for a fresh cup of coffee, stay for the handstands, and leave with shaky arms and a happy heart.
