What’s The Deal With Memberships? 

Wondering if aerial training is accessible without "signing your soul away"? Coaches Jill and Rosie address this common concern with refreshing honesty while unveiling the philosophy behind Cohesive Movement Center's unique membership model.

The coaches reveal how their approach fundamentally differs from traditional studio spaces. Rather than limiting athletes to rigid class schedules, CMC provides members with key card access 16.5 hours daily, allowing training on your terms. This revolutionary approach empowers aerial athletes to progress at their pace while maintaining crucial safety standards. Jill and Rosie explain their careful balance of autonomy and responsibility—members enjoy unprecedented freedom while receiving proper education about what they can safely practice independently.

Privacy emerges as another cornerstone of their philosophy. Unlike many fitness spaces, CMC prioritizes discretion, never posting content featuring members without explicit permission. This creates a sanctuary where professionals from all walks of life can train without concerns about unwanted exposure. The coaches also detail their innovative course structure, from novice fundamentals to advanced professional techniques, complete with weekly descriptions that eliminate guessing games about what to expect. For those hesitant about starting because they lack strength or flexibility, there's reassuring news: their comprehensive program includes specifically designed cross-training methods to build necessary physical capabilities alongside technical skills.

What Makes Cohesive Movement Center Different From Other Aerial Studios?

Have you ever wondered what makes the difference between simply learning aerial tricks and truly developing as an aerial athlete? In this enlightening conversation with Coaches Jill Adkinson and Rosie Wandell, we uncover why Cohesive Movement Center isn't just another aerial studio—it's a comprehensive training facility revolutionizing how aerial arts are practiced and perfected.

The traditional studio model keeps aerial enthusiasts cycling through hourly classes with limited practice time. At Cohesive Movement Center, members enjoy unprecedented access—16.5 hours daily at just $1.50 per hour—creating a true training environment where consistent practice becomes possible. Beyond mere access, their approach addresses the fundamental gap between what we see on social media (those impressive "hard things") and the foundational strength and technique required to perform them safely. As Jill notes, "We are helping you to build from the ground to the air those foundational needs that are missing in the community."

What truly distinguishes this facility is their holistic athlete development philosophy. With Jill's expertise in coaching and choreography paired with Rosie's background in neuroscience and medical knowledge, they tackle both physical and mental challenges aerial athletes face. 

Ready to transform your aerial practice from occasional classes to consistent athletic training? Experience the difference at a facility built by athletes for athletes, where your development as a complete aerial performer is the priority. Visit online or call to begin your journey with coaches who understand the complete path to aerial excellence.
