AIR. Three simple letters. We breathe it. We fly through it. And now, we exercise in it!

AIR®  – Aerial Fitness is the newest fitness concept to hit the Charlotte market. Located on Providence Road in the ever-popular Myers Park neighborhood, AIR® is elevating the group class dynamic to a new level (no really, they are taking things into the air).

AIR® is a suspension based fitness program that utilizes aerial silks and body weight to create long, lean muscles. We’re not talking circus tricks or crazy stunts; think beautiful silk hammocks secured to the ceiling that are perfect for elevated planks, pull ups and hanging upside down of course!  Elite trainers lead every workout.

On Tuesday evening, the ladies of #thesavageway held a VIP Party for a group of exceptional Charlotte women. These media members, bloggers, fitness enthusiasts and Instagram lovers came together for a sneak peek of this amazing new studio.

The evening began by the ladies getting comfortable in workout clothes and barefeet. Guests helped themselves to some Skinnygirl wine, Mellow Mushroom hummus, Bruks Bars bites and samples of Viva Raw.

As the networking and catching up began, so did the fun in the air. Groups took to the silks six at a time to try their hand at this creative workout regime. Incorporating silks into a workout brings a difficulty level that it not necessarily expected. The ladies swayed, jumped, climbed and flipped in their hammocks – all with huge smiles across their faces.

Headquartered in Chicago, AIR® Charlotte is the third location for owner Shama Patel. Other locations include two in Chicago. Los Angeles, New York City, Dallas and more Chicago studios are opening in the coming months.

The Myers Park location is slated to officially open at the end of August but in the mean time, check out their website to try out some free classes! Full class schedule, membership packages and further details on this new studio can be found here as well.

AIR® is definitely a different way to work out, but give it a shot. You may just soar!
