FITNESS

Helium Aerial Dance is pleased to launch Helium Fitness!! Helping You Reach New Heights!

We've taken all our years of existing knowledge, and learned some more to become a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer. Now we can kick your butt into top shape in more ways than one. In fact, we've taken working out to a whole new level with aerial conditioning classes and in-home personal training.

Challenge your body, mind and soul with techniques learned from the physical disciplines of ballet, modern dance, aerial arts, gymnastics, yoga, traditional gym training, pilates and spiritual practices. Let's face it, who wants to work out if it isn't fun? Heather's extensive knowledge and experience will help you reach your fitness goals. And the success and confidence you'll gain can be easily transferred into other areas of your life.

Heather has a playful yet focused teaching style. Helium student, actor and sushi chef Simon Feil loves her classes. He says:

"Heather's classes have totally changed my body and my concept of what I am capable of. I didn't realize I had no core strength. Now I can hold a plank longer than some yoga and dancer types! I am not a gym guy - the main thing that attracted me to aerial arts and conditioning was that I need to have something fun to when I exercise.

Heather's classes are so much fun I can't wait to do them and I forget I'm working out until my muscles start burning."

In-home Personal Training

It's like having the gym come to you! We focus on core stability and strength, then add in flexibility, cardio, endurance, and weight loss to give you the body you've always wanted. You can even train with a friend to make it more fun and to reinforce your commitment to fitness.
