Who We Are: Aerial Athletics

Our Mission: We believe in building relationships by teaching healthy lifestyle habits and functions fitness.

We have nearly 9,000 sq. ft. of prime fitness studio located in Duluth, MN. We offer primarily group coaching, using the CrossFit methodology. CrossFit workouts are comprised of constantly varied functional movements (like pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting, running) executed at high intensity.  

Our Programs range from:
Aerial Active: NON-Barbell functional fitness classes
CrossFit: using every tool we have!
Aerial Assault: 24 hour PowerLifting and Olympic Lifting only gym. (Separate membership)


What We Do

Instead of rows of stationary bikes and weight machines, our facility is filled with pull-up bars, kettlebells, barbells, rowers and wide open space for squatting, running, jumping, climbing, lifting and throwing – moving your body the way it is supposed to be moved.

All of your workouts are made up of  exercises that mimic movements performed in day-to-day life or sport. We focus on improving functional movements that are necessary and common in your daily activities, like picking up your kids or moving that bag of mulch from your trunk to the backyard.


What is CrossFit

At Aerial, you never workout alone. Instead, you train with a small group of other athletes and one of our experienced, professional coaches who come up with a different, fun workout everyday and help customize it to suit your fitness level.

All classes are 60 minutes long and guaranteed to be safe, yet effective. Our workouts are designed improve your capacity in ten recognized fitness domains: cardio-respiratory, endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.

And working with a small group of athletes helps you get the personal attention that you just can't find at a large gym. We strive to create a friendly and fun atmosphere that welcomes athletes from all walks of life. Your team is there to motivate and support you as you transform yourself mentally and physically.
