I attended an Intro to Silks class earlier this week and it was SO fun. It was a great workout. It helps if you have some upper body and core strength - it will be easier to do the lifts and drops! Highly recommend this class if youre looking for something new. The instructor was very friendly and encouraging. She explained how to do everything simply and efficiently.

Best choice for my fitness journey I could’ve ever made. The silks and pole classes are wonderful and the teachers are extremely supportive and encouraging. They get you where you need to be in a safe way and at your own pace. They always take their time to pay attention to pay attention to each individual which makes the learning process much easier. The ladies at the front desk are always so warm and inviting. Also love the extra safety precautions and sanitation for the pandemic. Amazing place, would give 10 stars if I could.

Since the first intro silks class I’ve taken with karolyn I always felt supported. It’s hard to go into a new class alone and a new activity, but I immediately felt welcomed by karolyn and other people attending the class. I was not the strongest, but karolyn made sure to offer modifications for me so that I can gain strength and still be on the same level as my stronger classmates. Unfortunately, I had an injury outside of the class and can no longer attend but I highly recommend any of their classes!

Amazing class and workout! My wife and I did a lesson and enjoyed ourselves a lot. Definitely going back soon.

I really enjoy the beginner aeriel class with Mrs. Anna. She made the class very simple and guides you throughout the class. More and more I fall in love with this. It gives me a sense of freedom, I feel powerful, strong and like flying.

The Academy of Aerial Fitness is more than just an aerial gym...it’s an oasis in the desert. It’s a FAMILY! Not only is the facility clean and inviting, the staff knowledgeable and friendly and the class options plentiful, but you will learn something new every time you walk through that door! I can attest to NEVER being bored.Through the pandemic they have been amazing at keeping virtual classes running in order to maintain fitness and mental/emotional health for those that were already members and those far away. And as they re-open, they have done an impeccable job at maintaining safety and cleaning protocols in order to keep their clients and instructors safe. They use MINDBODY for booking, which only takes a couple steps and is easy to update your schedule, book ongoing classes and participate in workshops.This has been my favorite studio of ANY I’ve been a part of (including visits) and I don’t know what I would do without my circus family at AAF! Come join us!!

I love this fitness studio! It is a wonderful unique and fun way to get fit. The yoga instructor, Brenda, is amazing! She has truly helped my weaknesses and is so encouraging. My first pole class was intense and invigorating but not intimidating. The instructor, Karolyn is knowledgeable and gives confidence to even the uncoordinated such as myself. The instructors are passionate in what they do and you can see that. The studio is very welcoming for all. I am so excited to take my next class because of what I will learn or strengthen next. I have fitness goals that I want to achieve and I know this is the perfect place to accomplish them!

Awesome gym! Instructors are extremely knowledgeable in their practice. They’re great at explaining every move and exercise and helping their students to excel. It’s easy to see why the Academy of Aerial Fitness has brought home so many regional and national awards!! 🥇

Hands down best gym I have ever been to. The pole instructors are phenomenal. They teach you technique, are patient, and super professional. Ive been to different studios and I have never been so welcomed in my life. This gym is home to me and everyone there is family. Anyone who has anything negative to say about this gym must be very bitter. The staff and members are family ❤. I highly recommend this studio . I would rate it ten stars if I could.

I have wanted to try aerial silks since I was young but was nervous about attending a class seeing as I am not in shape, nor am I flexible. That didnt matter! Ana was excellent at introducing me to the basics and making me feel included with the more experienced class (aerial yoga). Everyone was working on a routine and by the end of the class I had my own routine down too! Aerial silks/yoga is the perfect mix of fitness/endurance training and fun! I look forward to continuing to attend classes and see where the journey takes me.

What a wonderful studio! Truly a hidden gem of aerial excellence. Compared to my training at various studios in DC, New York City, France and Brazil over the years, I found the lyra instruction to be phenomenal for an “advanced beginner” like me. I also learned lots of new stuff in the men’s aerial fitness class, which became my favorite way to spend a Saturday morning. The community and fellow students are super chill and supportive. Wish I had more time in El Paso to train with them. And the class prices are the best I’ve ever seen. Very reasonable given the quality of instruction. Highly recommend training here!

Academy of Aerial Fitness welcomes men, women and children ages 8 and up. All fitness level welcome as our classes are beginner friendly. We are a non profit organization that focuses on providing a safe and fun environment to help the community stay active while learning a new art. We have many classes through put the day so stop and try one out. 😊

I wouldnt have stayed but GD that teacher was HOT! AND she really knew what she was talking about. I dont know what was sexier... her body or realizing that she had trained and honed her craft and really knew what she was teaching. Best class (and teacher) hands down.

I took a private aerial yoga class with a couple other friends, we were all new! Ana was an amazing teacher and so patient with us as well as encouraging. Thank you!!!

My children and I have been members of Academy of Ariel Fitness for several months. I cant say enough good things about the instructors, the classes, and the atmosphere in the gym. The childrens specific classes are fantastic and the instructors are extremely patient. The regular classes are taught by instructors who obviously love what they do and are extremely knowledgable. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

Everyone is friendly and nice!! Ana is very understanding and willing to work with you. And makes it fun learning to do aerial yoga .

This is an amazing place to learn new things for beginners and those that already know what they are doing! Very family friendly place and all the instructors are so friendly and very patient to answer all your questions.

Excellent training facility. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and they offer a broad curriculum to suit a variety of age and abilities. Highly recommended.

I love every class I have taken and the instructors are super nice and very knowledgeable, I have so much fun and the members are just awesome. I have learned so much and my body posture has already improved. It is truly a happy place.

Excellent classes and wonderful instructors! We really enjoy our time The Academy of Aerial Fitness! Theres something for everyone!

Aerial Fitness is a great place to enjoy something completely new in el Paso. A very enjoyable, fit and artistic way of achieving muscular strength. The teacher is amazing and has alot of technique and expertise on aerial class. It was very enjoyable and a great environment to come relax, enjoy and workout.

Two thumbs up to this place and every person involved ! Great environment, challenging and fun at the same time .

I love the classes. All the staff is friendly and professional. Aerial yoga is my new addiction.

A great positive learning environment. Ive been to many gyms and only a few have had such a great friendly and positive environment, I really felt at home here. Not only was I learning new things I didnt know where possible for my body to do but I was also having a lot of fun, which is what a real gym is all about. All the instructors were really nice and patient, and not once did i feel stupid for not being able to do some of the stuff, i thought id feel intimidated but the instructors are amazing and they will help you achieve anything that you didnt think you could do before. but instead felt encouraged to try harder. I dont think ive ever enjoyed working out this much. Would definitely recommend to people of all ages and body types.

I had no idea there was something like this in El Paso. Before I moved here 7 years ago I practiced gymnastics and had gotten pretty good at it, and when I came I tried out another place but the age groups there ranged from I would say 2 to 8 years old and I was a bit intimidated since at 13 i was much older than everyone else in their classes, so I quit and hadnt gone back since. I heard about this place from my best friend who has been coming religiously for a few months now and he took me in to be a part of a class he was in. I went in with the completely wrong mentality of hell what am I doing, this is going to suck and it only did until I realized that I was actually having fun. Yeah, Im not as flexible or strong as I was back when I would compete at 13, but I was surprised to see that I hadnt lost all of it completely. Karolyn was the instructor for that session and she was insanely supportive and encouraging (even though I knew that I wasnt looking anything close to pretty or gracious hahaha). The class was small, but there were people from all ages and I wasnt the youngest or the oldest there and I really appreciated that. I was, however, the newest but not once did I feel inadequate or uncomfortable. I got to see a little piece of a show that Karolyn put together after the class and my jaw dropped. It was beautiful and it just showed me the amount of passion that this lady has towards what she does. I highly recommend this place, but be ready to get your butt kicked because it only LOOKS easy. Doing it is another thing 😊

I am new to EL Paso and was so excited to find an aerial studio. I am an acro/yogini/runner at heart but, always wanted to get into aerial. It is a workout you wont forget with an amazing group of staff and students to help you get there. They offer aerial silks, lyra, acroyoga, stilts, aerial straps, rope, and aerial yoga. Trust me there is somthing for everyone of all ages!Thank you for making this solider feel at home away from away from home and helping to achieve that pull up goal I was shooting for the end of this year.

They have a range of apparatuses to try and no matter what it is the instructors are amazing!

Class was fun!!! Love it and I will be back!!!

This place is awesome!!!
