Hang in There

Circus Fitness Classes

Laaadies and gentlemeeen, tonight we’ve got a spoozy of a dectacle, a doozy of a spectacle! Casandra Cubicle will brave the flying trapeze after just a few lessons at Circus Arts Institute!

Hush befalls crowd.

Amazing: She’s using instructor Carrie Heller’s stretching techniques! Watch as she warms up her body and gets her limbs ready for the climb.

First up: the Spanish web, better known as the soft rope. Didn’t know it was this easy to scale heights, didja, folks? Just a few lessons in, and this former pull-up pansy is shimmying like a pro.

Audience ooohs.

Observe the catcher’s hang! The rainbow split! Such contortions! This is where Heller’s padded floor studio and brain-balancing take-home exercises lead! We hear Heller even has students practicing toothbrushing and dressing with their nondominant digits.

Old lady faints.

Step right up to an eight-week series or a single session to start!

It could prove to be your greatest whoa on Earth.
