FAQs
How do I get to the studio/ Parking?
Our address is 47 De Villiers Street and we are at the end of the hallway on the third floor.
Park in the designated parking lot next to the Engen garage- our car guard “Lucky” will look after your car; he is very, very trustworthy. The building also has 24hr security guards on duty.
Our building is the one with the Red pillars on either side of the door; it’s on the right-hand side of " The Shack”. (The GPS will take you to the “Madfit” building, but we are not in the same building.
Enter through the pillars, and use the code 4688# to let yourself in ( we are also replacing this keypad, don’t worry 😅). The security can also let you in as well, or you can ring our bell “Mother City Movement”. Head up the lift/ Stairs to the 3rd floor, then head right to the end of the passage; you’ll see us straight ahead 😇
What should I wear for aerial fitness classes?
For aerial hoop, silks, and hammocks:
-
Long pants are recommended to protect your skin and make sliding more comfortable.
-
A top that covers your armpits and ribs is also helpful to avoid chafing during moves that involve your upper body.
For pole fitness:
-
Shorts are required to allow you to grip the pole with your skin.
-
The more skin you have exposed, the better grip you'll have, so avoid wearing long pants or full-coverage tops during pole classes.
Tip! Avoid putting lotion on your body/ hands the day of class, to avoid getting slippery!
Do I need to bring anything?
Bring a nice big water bottle to stay hydrated, A sweat towel if you need one and an open mind! We provide yoga mats that get sanitized after each use, but you're still more than welcome to bring your own!
Is there a weight limit to participate in aerial fitness classes?
Absolutely not! We welcome all body shapes and sizes. Our rigging is rated, and our equipment has a load-bearing capacity of up to 400 kg, so you're perfectly safe and encouraged to join us!
Can men participate in aerial fitness classes?
Yes, absolutely! We encourage men to join us. We already have a few men in our classes. However, please be aware that the majority of participants are women, so it's important to feel comfortable in that environment.
Do I need any experience to join?
No prior experience is needed! Our classes are suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to more advanced students. Our instructors will guide you at your own pace. You don't need to be strong to start, that's why you're here! Aerial fitness will help you build strength and flexibility over time. Many beginners start with minimal upper body strength, and that's okay!
