Frequently Asked Questions

Here is a short FAQ if you’ve been wondering how to get involved with the Acrofit Power and Handstand classes, posted by Chris Staefe, certified Acrofit™ Lead Trainer:

I’m not in shape, is this class going to kill me? (paraphrasing of course!)

No. Acrofit™ is precision training, not bootcamp. The goal is to develop muscular control and to do the moves with high degrees of accuracy. Less is definitely more in this scenario. If you can only do 3 of a particular movement, then that is all you do. Doing a move with precision will get you in shape faster than you think. Remember, modifications can always be made to accommodate injury and ability. That goes both ways, too. If a move is too simple, then I can show you a modification to make it more difficult!

I’m going to have to get in shape before I can take your class.

I love this comment, and I get it more that I expect. My response is: this class will get you in shape. Usually in gyms, the focus on a specific muscle, like bicep or quads. Which, in turn, make you only good at doing that one motion. These are non-watered down acrobatic conditioning movements that require the use of your whole body. This will get you in shape quicker and more thoroughly… and is a heck of a lot more fun!

Handstand Class sounds interesting but I’d never be able to do it.

In the 12 months that I’ve been doing Handstand Class, I have yet to meet a person who didn’t like it who tried it. This class is for people of all levels and within about 20 minutes, you will be doing a handstand in a very safe and supportive environment – its not nearly as impossible as it sounds!
