If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to float, flip, or fly while getting an incredible workout, you don’t have to look far. Right in the heart of Downtown Naperville, AIR Naperville offers a one-of-a-kind approach to fitness that blends strength, flexibility, and fun in an uplifting community atmosphere.

Originally launched in 2021, AIR Naperville became part of a nationwide franchise known for pioneering aerial fitness more than a decade ago in Chicago. In January 2025, the Naperville studio entered a new chapter when a longtime member of the community stepped into the role of owner. What started as a single class in 2021—first as a student, then trainer, then manager—has blossomed into a passion for creating a welcoming, supportive fitness space for people of all ages.

More Than a Workout

Unlike traditional gyms, AIR Naperville is as much about connection as it is about exercise. Here, you’ll find a community that celebrates every milestone, from a child’s first class in the AIR Kids program to an adult’s first time going upside down in a hammock. The studio regularly hosts workshops, pop-up shops featuring local women-owned businesses, and even private events like birthday parties, bachelorette celebrations, and Girl Scout troop outings.

The atmosphere is lively, supportive, and filled with encouragement—you’re not just working out, you’re building friendships.

Why Aerial Fitness?

Aerial fitness combines elements of barre, Pilates, yoga, and strength training with the support of an aerial hammock. Classes range from high-intensity Foundation sessions to calming Candlelight Flow yoga, giving students the chance to sweat, stretch, and even float in the air.

The benefits go far beyond the physical. Yes, you’ll burn calories, tone muscles, and build core and upper body strength—but you’ll also gain confidence and learn to push past fears. Many participants come in nervous about going upside down, but with step-by-step guidance, they often surprise themselves. As the AIR team reminds their students: “You are capable of doing hard things.”

And the best part? Aerial fitness is for everyone—kids, adults, beginners, and seasoned athletes alike. The youngest student at AIR Naperville is just five years old, while the oldest is a vibrant 73!

Stories That Inspire

One of the studio’s most inspiring stories comes from a current trainer who walked into AIR Naperville in 2021 calling herself a “couch potato.” With consistency, community, and a lot of hammock time, she transformed her health, built strength, and became a leader and role model for new students. Her journey is just one of many examples of the empowering transformations that happen here every day.

Fun in the Air

From themed classes (think Taylor Swift playlists, Hamilton-inspired workouts, and Halloween “Flow & Glow”) to creative workshops that combine aerial with floral arranging, candle making, and local artistry, AIR Naperville knows how to keep fitness exciting. Their events bring the community together in fresh and unexpected ways, proving that working out can be as fun as it is rewarding.

Ready to Try?

New students are encouraged to “do it scared” if they’re nervous—because that first class is always the toughest, but also the most rewarding. AIR Naperville makes it easy to begin with their One Week New Client Special for $25 (adults) or drop-in kids classes for $30.

Whether you’re looking to build strength, release stress, or simply try something new, AIR Naperville is a place where everyone belongs. With a hammock, a little courage, and a supportive community behind you, you might just discover that fitness can feel like flying.
