Great place! Great people! Great fun!

Welcomed me with open arms since day one when I was new to Rochester and looking for something to learn. The instructors are very knowledgeable, widely skilled, and welcoming to all. They offer a wide variety of classes, parties and unique workshops. Would definitely recommend!

I attended couple Yoga classes here- instructor was great. It’s super fun + Great exercise. I moved to California and couldn’t complete 5 classes in a month- it would have been nicer for them to carry it forward for a week or so but they refused to. Otherwise good place

Moving here from CA I was worried I wouldnt be able to find a studio where I could train aerial arts. I have had some bad experiences in the past with unprofessional aerial studios. Taking my first aerial hammock class at Aerial Arts of Rochester, I knew this studio was the right place to train for me. The studio is clean, the instructors are very professional, everyone is so nice, there is structure to the different types of classes you can take. I felt like part of their family after my first class, sometimes its tough going into aerial classes at a studio youve never been to and no one knows you, but I felt comfortable the minute I walked into the studio.They have a wide range of classes that you can try all different types of apparatuses.Try a class here and Im positive you wont regret it. I am so happy I tried a class at Aerial Arts of Rochester. :)

I have been a student at AAOR since 2016. The owners Will and Jenn are kind and patient teachers. The rest of the teachers are great and folks are very friendly. Over the years they have expanded their class offerings as teachers come and go. I have watched many experienced students start to teach, which is pretty cool.The aerial classes are structered well to help even a total begginer to gain strength and skills concurrently. They have a wide variety of circus and conditioning classes to compliment the aerial skills. Prices for classes and various practice passes are reasonable prices for the location. The have a satellite locationnin Greece and a branch called Up! Aerial Fitness in buffalo.They have 2 student showcases a year and also do choreographed shows. AAOR regularly has special workshops run by out of town performers as well as shorter classes focusing on less popular apparatus like aerial cube and cloud swing. They also have sampler workshops for those interest in trying things out.I have taken: silks, dance trapeze, Lyra, juggling, stretch class, pole, aerial yoga. Quality of classes it very consistent.

Clean, Very Friendly Staff with Amazing Training, Positive Environment We Love it!!

We originally booked Aerial Arts for our June 5, 2020 wedding. Because of the pandemic we’ve now had to reschedule twice. Aerial Arts has been so incredibly helpful throughout this situation and has given us the flexibility make the necessary changes. We are so excited to have them as part of our wedding in 2021!

My 7yr old daughter and I Just stared classes there and we love it!

Ive been a student at Aerial Arts of Rochester off and on since 2016. I love the classes! Its fun for all ages! Everyone is kind and supportive. Im doing things I never thought possible. Taking multiple apparatuses such as pole and trapeze keeps me healthy and challenged. Highly recommended!

I have been going to Aerial Arts since I moved to Rochester and they have always welcomed me and other new students with open arms. The owners Will and Jen know the ins and out of the business and have so much passion for what they do. Even if you have never tried aerial they will teach the class to everyones abilities including the weakest and the strongest. Very VERY knowledgeable about what they do. Teaches you the correct way to do moves and wont move you up until you have mastered the pre requests (as most places should) to ensure the safety of their clients. I would recommend to anyone looking to get active or that has been training or that is even brand new.

Love Aerial Arts of Rochester! I have been going on and off since 2013 after purchasing a Groupon for the sampler package. It was clear from day one Lyra (Hoop) was my favorite apparatus! Love trapeze and aerial yoga as well. I do not need a gym membership while taking classes since this keeps me in shape already. Closest I will ever get to the circus! ;)

I bought a groupon to aerial arts of Rochester for a pole dance fitness work shop 5 years ago and I have been going 2-3 times a week since. Now I practice aerial Silks, Lyra (hoop), Pole, and hula hooping. The prices are comparable to other gym memberships but the instruction and unique workout is a lot more fun creative and challenging than weights at a gym (seriously who doesn’t want to watch people flipping off hoops?!). The instructors are so supportive and amazingly talented. Regarding COVID, I am impressed with their sanitization and feel safe here. I would highly recommend aerial arts of Rochester.

Great facility and great instructors!

Had so much fun at a 7 year olds birthday party and Im 43! Instructors make it so easy for the parents to just relax and watch. Very enjoyable and they let the adults have some play time at the end of the session!

My daughter Alexa has been going to Aerial Arts since September 2014. She has learned so much in such s short time and loves all the instructors!!! The are always eager to help her when she has a question and are extremely professional The studio is very spacious and very clean!! I highly recommend Aerial Arts to everyone of all ages!!!! Give them a try!! You will be happy you did!!!!!!

Absolutely phenomenal

I just finished an aerial sampler workshop here and I have been raving about it since I left 2 hours ago! It was so much fun and the instructors were absolutely incredible, the atmosphere was welcoming and encouraging. The skills taught made you feel accomplished but werent so difficult that you got frustrated by attempting them. If it werent an hour drive I would have signed up for the weekly classes in an instant. Loved it!

Had my daughters birthday here. So easy to reserve, very quick responses. Instructors were amazing!!! Thank you Audra and Ashley. You definitely made it great!!!!

Ive been going to Aerial Arts of Rochester for just six months, but its easily the best workout Ive ever gotten. Im in incredible shape, and Ive come farther on the silks than I ever would have thought. The instructors are thorough, talented, and easy to get along with. Silks lessons have become my favorite part of the week - Id recommend it whole-heartedly to anyone interested!

I have absolutely fallen in love with this place! The instructors are amazing, the classes are spectacular, and its has the most welcoming environment you could ask for! I am self concious about my body and so gyms arent always the most comfortable place to go but this place is different it has this warm nonjudgmental energy that vibrates off of everyone there. If youre looking for a place to get fit look no further!

Ive taken several classes and loved every one. The instructors are awesome. Theyre very knowledgeable and helpful. Ive learned so much and Im excited to go back. Everybody is very friendly, including the students. The instructors and students even tried to help me get a job when I was looking for work. Its a great place to be.

If I could do 10 stars I would. Had a wonderful experience for my daughters birthday party. Staff was great, guests loved all they did!Thanks!

This place is one of a kind and I am so glad it exist! I do a lot regular gym activities (weight lifting, Zumba, cycling, etc.) and was bored with it so I decided it was time to change it up! Well hands down this did the trick! I am taking an aerial silks class where I get a wonderful arm and ab workout from the stunts we learn! This class has challenged my muscles, my body, my mind and my flexibility in ways that I have never experienced before and I am thankful for that. I will warn that it does become pretty challenging as you progress further into the sessions and if youre afraid of heights this might not be the right thing for you. Overall, this is a great and unique hobby to participate in and I highly recommend.

Its the time of year for people to reflect on what they are thankful for, and get ready for their New Years resolutions. This past year my doctor said the scariest F- word I think a doctor can say: Fibromyalgia. Luckily I have not yet been diagnosed with that, but they say that the nerve pain I get is very similar to it. Apparently Endometriosis and Carpal Tunnel are enough for my body for now. Im in that mid point of age in life so I had a few bad habits that could be kicked in my fight against pain. Aerial Arts has been a blessing. I started with the beginner aerial Yoga one time before moving to Core Aerial classes. Seeing as I was an active child it was a bit of an eye opener just how out of shape I had become. At no point in Aerial Yoga or Core Aerial did anyone make me feel bad about myself, or the fact that I couldnt YET do something. The teachers would often put an extra flare on a move to show us what we were working towards as a way to motivate us, but never once was I shamed, left behind, left out, or anything one might expect when theyre brand new to a group. Ive taken Core Aerial more than a few times now, and have gotten into much better shape- though still a long way to go. It was enough for me to take a few classes in the apparatus that had peaked my interest: the Static Trapeze. I had the courage to give it a try, and Im at least able to do the beginner level skills. I cant wait for next year with the people who work there, and see how close to my goals another year with them gets me. I could go on and on about how wonderful and supportive all of the staff is, or you could come in for class to see for yourself! As Will says: at least youd be doing something. Its never a bad thing to get up and moving.

Any business that is completely inflexible with their rescheduling policy (like theirs) gets one star from me.Late last week, I purchased a Groupon for the sampler class. On approximately Thursday, I signed up for the session on Saturday morning.By Friday, I realized that my son was very (unexpectedly) sick. When I went to their website to try and reschedule for a different Saturday, they have the following disclaimer.Once you are reserved for a workshop date, you can not change or transfer to a different date without forfeiting your voucher.Despite the fact that sometimes life happens, whether I showed up or not, they kept the money for the class. I couldnt even reschedule to a different date. So, they keep my money and I dont get to try the class at a later date. Kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the whole experience.If youre thinking about trying the class, be very certain that you can attend or be prepared to donate your money to them.

My daughter had her 6th birthday here and it was amazing! The staff was so friendly and great with the kids. The party room is perfect for set up and cake, etc. Nice and big and we were able to decorate and put out food. My daughter and her friends had a blast and cant stop talking about it! The parents even loved it and all stayed to watch. It was easy to reserve our time slot and book. Everyone I talked to and worked with was super friendly and helpful. One of the staff even had a unicorn onesie she put on to match my daughters theme. They made my daughters birthday one she will never forget and I am so grateful! We will definitely be celebrating more birthdays here and can hopefully enjoy some of the classes. Highly recommend for a kids bday party!

I took a sampler class here in the summer of 2013, and thats a great option for giving different apparatus and this space a try!! The sampler classes are offered frequently, on Saturday mornings.Since then, Ive been taking silks classes seriously, and I just started trapeze -- I love learning aerial skills!! Its an amazing resource to have an aerial studio in our city, and this studio offers a wide variety of aerial apparatus classes plus general fitness (floor) classes plus weekly practices/occasional showcases for students! All of the instructors have always been incredibly patient with helping, and even after traveling to other circus schools, I feel I have a decent foundation from AAOR!

Great place for childrens birthday party, staff is great with large groups

I have been taking classes at Aerial Arts since 2011 and have loved every class I have taken throughout the years. My first time here was at a workshop where I got to try some pole tricks and I Immediately signed up for classes on a regular basis. The gym just isnt my cup of tea and AAOR provided me with another place to still get my exercise in. I have taken pole, chair dance (back when it was offered), ballet bar, jumpfit, stretch and injury prevention, spinny pole, stilettos, and twerk it. The owners and instructors are all extremely nice, patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. Theres something here for everyone and I cant wait to see whats next there for me. I would HIGHLY recommend Aerial Arts to anyone!

This business needs work. The only thing they have done well is hire FANTASTIC employees. I originally came to this business after purchasing a groupon that said it was valid towards pole dance fitness. When I brought the groupon to them for redemption, I was told that that was not what the groupon goes towards and groupon wouldnt let them change the description. THATS FALSE ADVERTISING. When I asked what it went towards it was only valid for a sampler class and a stretching class. Nothing that the groupon had mentioned nor anything I was interested in. If it was correctly advertised, I wouldnt have purchased the groupon. I decided not to report their false advertising to groupon a year ago, which was a big mistake on my part. I tried classes there and due to the awesome instructors, I enjoyed it. However when dealing with management (the owners) you always get a vague answer that gives you the run around. They also deny you refunds of any kind and do not have a flexible schedule change policy unless its to their benefit. To make matters worse, their new studio in which they moved to in January doesnt have air conditioning. As a fitness studio, especially one with students up on high hanging apparatuses, this IS NOT SAFE! Now on top of the hot rooms, they now are over booking classes so their are extra bodies in the room making it even hotter!!! Be careful of the shady business owners if you chose to go here. Also, be aware youre being recorded in their studios. They have cameras in each room and no signs anywhere letting one know about this. Theres even a camera in the birthday party room that hosts childrens birthday parties. Sketchy, pervy, poorly run and negligent. But at least they know how to hire quality employees.... Thats one positive about their business.

Great classes and great teachers alike
