The Flyer Fitness Foundations Workshop helps flyers build stronger, more connected flying, without unnecessary wear on your body.Â
Â
👉 If you're tired of feeling disconnected from your movement in the air and ready to fly with power, precision, and confidence — this workshop is for you.
When you join the Flyer Fitness Foundations Workshop, you'll be able to:
🔹 Move with intention and activate the right muscles at the right time
🔹 Understand the direct connection between your off the rig training and what you are doing in the air
🔹 Refine your swing, tricks, body positions — and so much more
🔹 Build strength that actually translates to your flying
🔹 Show up to the rig with clarity, confidence, and a body that's truly prepared
Â
Stop leaving your flying to chance - show up with intention!
Â
This workshop is for you if:
🔸 You feel like something's missing in your foundation for flying
🔸 You want to connect the dots between fitness, movement, and your flying technique
🔸 You're ready to go deeper than just more reps - to actually understand why your body does what it does
🔸 You want to feel stronger, more aware, and more confident every time you step up to the board
Â
Does this sound like you?Â
You've been trying to get stronger. Maybe you've even joined fitness classes or worked with trainers — but something still feels off. Your off the rig efforts aren't translating to the fly rig.Â
You know you're capable of more, but you're not sure what's missing. You work hard on the rig, but the results don't always match your effort, leaving you frustrated.Â
That's not your fault.
No one ever taught you how your body is supposed to move in the air — and without that foundation, even the best coaching can only take you so far.
Â

Yes! I want in!FAQ's
Q: What level flyer is this for? A: This workshop is designed for flyers who have some experience working on a swing on the flying trapeze and are ready to deepen their body awareness and technique. If you're not sure if it's right for you, reach out and we'll talk it through!
Q: Do I need to be in peak physical condition? A: Nope! You just need to show up ready to learn and move. The conditioning sessions are educational and supportive — we'll meet you where you are.
Q: What should I bring? A: Wear comfortable movement clothes appropriate for both an indoor studio and outdoor flying trapeze setting. More details will be sent after you register.
Q: Can I attend just one day? A: The two days are designed to build on each other, so attending both is strongly encouraged for the full transformation. Reach out if you have a scheduling conflict and we'll see what we can do.
Q: Can I still participate if I am injured or haven't been flying recently? A: Yes! There will be a few spots open to attend only the classroom portion of the workshop. This session is extremely beneficial if you are recovering from an injury or as you build up to flying again. Contact us to request this option. Â
