Socks & Heels Low Flow
This class is a mixed level class suitable for all ages, shapes and sizes. We will start with a mat warm up focusing on strength, stretch, and a bit of focus on those beautiful legs. I mean who doesn't want gorgeous gams?
Then we move to the pole! At this point students will have the option of fuzzy socks or transitioning to heels. Students will learn combos that fluidly move from floor to pole and modifications will be offered to accommodate different skill levels. All types of music will be used in this class.
Participants are encouraged to wear knee pads and platform-style heels to the class, but it is not mandatory.

Overall, this class is a fun and flirty way to explore sensual movement and express all your different personalities!
My Happy Place
Believe Fitness Studio is my happy place. I have a blast doing aerial yoga with Kristen. I am getting stronger while having fun! Everyone is so friendly and I am learning so much. I am always encouraged to push what I thought I could do and I am always surprised at the end of class by what I am capable of! Plus I really enjoy getting to see everyone doing hoops and silks and other classes. So many strong and talented people! I love this place!!

Impressive Experience
I was visiting this studio from out of town, and was so impressed with my level 2 silks class! The studio was so well-managed with structured lessons. I also loved how clean everything was, with freshly-washed/new silks for each person (no having to share), and cleaning spray bottles for the yoga mats for warmup. The class also had plenty of conditioning and technique. I wish I was a local so I could keep coming! Amazing!

Welcoming Instructors
I got a month's pass of unlimited classes and am halfway through. Being completely new to aerial I was a bit apprehensive before trying all these new classes, but having did, I can say that the instructors and gym itself are amazing! The instructors are very personable and fun, making the experience very welcoming. If you can find the time in your schedule these classes are definitely worth it!

Continuous Improvement
I've been attending classes at Believe since Oct 2019! I have nothing but good things to say about this studio and the instructors! I've mostly taken Aerial Silks and Hoop classes and it started out fun! There is plenty to do even as a beginner and it's so fun to keep coming back and getting better and adding more tricks! I plan to keep attending classes here for as long as I can!

Attentive Trainers
I love this place! I've taken a lot of the classes offered and I feel like I have learned so much from each. I am more flexible, I enjoy what is being done and the trainers are very attentive and sweet. I would recommend Believe Fitness Studio to anyone. It is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and try new things you didn't know your body was capable of doing.
