FAQ
We suggest shorts and a workout top as the skin on your legs enables better grip, however if you feel uncomfortable in shorts, leggings are fine until you build confidence and feel relaxed in your classes. In the colder months, we also suggest wearing something warm on your feet as the flooring can be cold.
We suggest bringing a drink, a sweat towel and a hair tie (if you have long hair). As you progress in the sport you may wish to purchase grip aids if you need them (we recommend dry hands however if you would like more advice, please speak to your instructor or contact us directly) .
Our classes are very laid back and all about having fun! At Mission Studios we pride ourselves on team spirit. Ensuring you feel a part of our community and making friends along the way is essential to us. Our instructors work hard to make you feel comfortable and give you moves that are achievable and at your specific level.
Our classes are scheduled for 1 hour with an overspill timeframe of 15 minutes if the instructor feels longer is needed.
Our main casual group class offering is ‘Mixed Ability’ (catering to all levels) however, we also offer Beginner Courses in all areas. These courses are aimed at new customers who haven’t tried Arial Fitness or it has been a while since they took a class. These courses are fantastic at providing the foundational knowledge and experience needed to build confidence and create a passion for our sport. Completing a
Beginner Course provides the fundamentals you will need to succeed. You can attend these Courses
as many times as you like, then when you feel ready, you can join our mixed ability sessions for some
higher level training.
Not at all, you shall build strength as you progress through the moves. You don’t need prior strength or experience to join any of our classes/courses. All moves are tailored to your strength, ability and experience. The majority of our Students start their Aerial journey with little strength, the beauty about the sport is it creates so much strength in such a short time frame.
No, there are many moves that don’t require any flexibility. Also, your instructor will be able to alter a move to accommodate your flexibility parameters. The majority of our students find their flexibility increase’s with their new found strength, also certain moves provide a stretching element…better yet, we offer Flexibility classes to assist with achieving certain stretch moves quicker (splits anyone?). Check out our timetable.
We welcome everyone and will do our best to make you feel comfortable and welcomed even if you are on your own. Attending on your own for the first time can be daunting but we promise to give you an exciting and new experience! Our other students are always friendly and accommodating..and generally love to help out!
Please do not moisturise on the day of your booked class. Moisturiser makes your hands/body slippery which will prevent you from gripping the equipment. Washing your hands with washing up liquid can help to remove unwanted oils from your hands before attending (this is particularly useful if you use creams on a daily basis – beauticians, hair dressers etc).
For our Mixed Ability groups and Beginner Courses we welcome teenagers from the age of 12+.
However, these must be booked by a parent / guardian who gives permission for you to attend.
Parents / guardians are not required to sit through the class however but they must check in with
the instructor when dropping you off/picking you up – therefore we request the parent /guardian to
arrive 10 minutes before the class start and finish time.
Depending on the type of class you would like to book, depends on the process.
