I’ve been taking classes here for a few months, my teachers are so good at what they do. There’s never a dull moment and I feel like I’ve been making so much progress in my aerial silks journey! A very safe and supportive environment, fun and engaging teachers, and you will learn great skills with even just a few classes. An awesome aerial gym!

On a scale of cotton candy to Brussels sprouts, Upside Aerial Arts & Fitness is a medley of veggies that make you do a happy dance.I scheduled a private with Gena DuBose to work on some basic lyra movement. Gena listened to some of my frustrations around simple lyra movements and helped me work through them, supplying great cues for feeling more comfortable in the lyra.The studio felt safe with cushioned floors, thick mats, and rigging. Parking was easy as there's a lot right there.

This is zenfit. Melissa is a wonderful instructor and we have so much fun while we're getting great exercise. I recommend this to everyone including their children. She has great programs for children also.

Upside is a welcoming, cheerful space that celebrates play through aerial arts. Michelle, the owner, loves this craft so much — and it’s contagious. Her energy sets the vibe and y’all, the vibe is good. I’m grateful to have access to Upside (even if it’s far away) since Durham’s circus gym closed. Worth the drive. PS, don’t just try a silks class if you go, try trapeze too!

This place is amazing for your children to go have fun and learn something new. Melissa was amazing with the children when they were trying new things and I 100% recommend this place. It might look dangerous but she's there 100% And she's made sure everything is 100% safe.

This is a great place. It has such a good atmosphere and it is such a fun way to add fitness into your life. All of the instructors are wonderful and very helpful. It's a very uplifting, happy, and judgement-free environment This is definitely a must try if you're looking for a new hobby or a new way to exercise!

This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!! The instructors are absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere during lessons is always cheerful and encouraging. Ashanti, who teaches Lyra, is so incredibly talented!!! She’s is extremely knowledgeable in all things dance, and she’s an OUTSTANDING teacher. She’s patient, encouraging and her personality is AWESOME. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

I love Upside! I take silks group classes and semi-privates. I feel safe, supported, and I always have fun.
