Description
Pole Fitness has been around for centuries, tracing back as far as China about 2,500 years ago, though in recent history it is mostly associated with the stigma of strip clubs. But more recently and more notably it has been part of circus and aerial acrobat companies like Cirque du Soliel. Five to seven years ago pole fitness started to make its way into more mainstream fitness, attracting gymnasts, dancers, and acrobats. In the past 3 years pole fitness studios have been popping up around the country bringing this old, but new, form of fitness to people everywhere. Now, nationally and internationally, there are professional and amateur competitions with both men’s and women’s divisions.
Aerial acrobatics as we know them today evolved in the late 18th century with the development of the large traveling circuses ranging from rope walking, aerial silk, slings, and trapeze. Today, many of these acrobatics are done in theaters rather than in large circus tents, yet are still enjoyed by people of all ages. With the advent of these shows, more and more people are getting involved in these activities.
Both pole and aerial fitness allow for a full body workout, not only employing strength, but also balance, agility, flexibility, and motor coordination. They also incorporate such athletic elements as dance and gymnastics. At Sky High Studios we take students through programs ranging from introductory classes all the way up to advanced levels, so that even the most novice students can participate. It does not matter if you have worked out your whole life, or for only a day, we will make sure you are able to participate in a safe, healthy, supportive environment where you can progress at your own pace and be involved as much as you want. We offer a wide range of classes to supplement your pole and aerial experience including strength training, flexibility, and dance. In addition to our current schedule, we will be constantly expanding to include a greater variety of classes and programs.
