I've been lucky enough to have been training with Alex for about a year and a half. It wasn't long before I didn't want to train with anyone else for aerial arts - Alex combines exceptional coaching skills and impressive expertise (Alex always knows how to cue which muscle to use in what way) with the most joyful and positive vibes and will always make sure everyone feels safe in their practice. I've always appreciated Alex balancing making you feel supported with pushing you to do what she knows and see you can, even if you can't see it yourself yet.

I had the pleasure of taking aerial hoop classes with Alex for almost a year now and she has left an indelible mark on my aerial fitness journey. From the very first class, it was evident that her passion for hoop was contagious, and her teaching style made every session an enjoyable and enriching experience.

One of Alex’s standout qualities is her patience. As a beginner, I often found myself fumbling through the movements, but she consistently demonstrated a calm and understanding demeanor. Her patience created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance.

I've seen Alex meet SO many different types of people where they are at, including people like me who never thought they would be able to even lift themselves up off the ground. She can tell me to treat my aerials like my art, to improv and find my own movement, and then turn around and give my friend a structured kick ass workout because that's what works best for her. She constantly teaches me new things, she has coached me through creative projects like music videos, and she has been a mentor for my own teaching practice. If you have a chance to learn from Alex, take it! It will be worth your time.

Alex’s coaching and teaching have been integral to my growth as an aerialist. Working with her, I am stronger, smarter about how to train, and have learned skills I never thought I could come even close to achieving. Alex has a gift for breaking down movement in a way that is clear and that speaks to different bodies and to different learning styles. She is consistently encouraging, even while challenging you to exceed your own expectations. Most of all, Alex’s positivity, joy, and passion for training are not only infectious but inspiring. If you have the chance to work with Alex, take it!

I like to think that there are two eras in my training, before Alex and with Alex. It is with Alex that I have been able to elevate my training. Before I only had a shallow understanding of training and I only did what I was told without question. With Alex I have learned so much about my body, why we do things, and how to be safe. Alex’s teaching style is always encouraging and supportive, but also realistic. She is always able to push you into doing something you don’t even know was possible but can also give modifications if you need to take the intensity down. I couldn't recommend Alex more if you're looking for a coach who is nice, well-rounded, and knowledgeable!

What sets Alex apart is her extensive knowledge of techniques. It is clear that she has dedicated time to mastering her craft, and this expertise shines through in her teachings. She breaks down each movement into manageable steps, ensuring that everyone in the class could follow along. Furthermore, her ability to explain the engagement of specific muscles for each routine has allowed me to target and activate the correct muscle groups more effectively.

In every class, I felt a genuine commitment from Alex to help everyone reach their full potential. She has elevated my experience and appreciation for aerial hoop. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring aerial instructor!

Alex is the person you need when you feel like you've been working so hard and seeing no progress. She is the person you need when you are a beginner and are worried that you aren't cut out for this. Alex has helped me through so much... When I thought I wasn't ever going to be strong enough to do something, she showed me that I actually needed to engage this muscle I never knew I had! She's also very realistic about bodies and knows that what works for some people won't work for others.
