Finding Confidence for the Summer 

AerialFit • Aug 15, 2018

The warmer months can bring intense anxiety about my body. Summer brings all the stress of thinking about my pasty wobbly legs into the spotlight right next to the gorgeous tanned bodies of people who walk past me at the morning beach markets...

Spending the last two years working through a journey to mental wellness has meant putting aside obsessive calorie counting, resting from a daily 5k run and embracing the softer movements that give my body the rest and challenge it needs. Some days that looks like a gentle Yin Yoga flow to release physical and mental tension, other days it's a run around the block to get the jitters out with a Pilates-inspired workout after to strengthen my core and protect my spine so I can hold myself with strength and confidence. Sometimes it's nothing at all, a day to rest and process.

At the studio, we’re pretty proud of making space for all bodies and all abilities, and I’ve learned that this space makes all the difference. No matter the goal, we always try to include a healthy dose of positive self image in our classes, including time to stretch and challenge ourselves each day. Making time for just one class that makes me feel confident does more for my body and spirit than five punishing runs that lead to injury. Of course, there’s still more I want to learn, parts of my body that I want to see stronger and able to carry me further, but there’s a new kind of joy that helps me embrace the beauty of my summer body, every single part of it.

The summer body isn’t a seasonal body, it’s your body, in the summer. Wobbly bits, or no wobbly bits, our bodies are stronger when we learn to be confident where we’re at. Picking up an attitude of confidence, strength and self-love is far more effective than picking up a meal replacement shake, and we’d much rather have fun during a class than workout to the point of exhaustion.

I remember being 5 or 6 and going with my mum to the Marconi Club for aerobics every week. I was supposed to sit up the back with the other kids, but my legend of a mama let me join in with her, as long as we stayed in the corner out of everyone’s way. I don’t remember much from the class, but I do remember feeling incredible energy & joy. To this day it is one of my fondest memories, which is remarkable considering I hardly remember it at all. That’s why when Josh came to me asking if we could put on an 80’s aerobics class, I said yes, even though it doesn’t really fit our studio brand. I knew that it would bring so much light & laughter that we absolutely had to run it! For two weeks after the class, I heard so many stories from everyone who attended. Apparently the atmosphere was like a grand final footy game: absolutely electric! This class will make a guest appearance every now & then on the schedule, if you need any convincing, here are some reviews from its debut. It can only get better! Josh’s class was easily the happiest hour of my day! I couldn’t stop smiling! If I was to describe the class to someone, I’d tell them to expect an hour of positive vibes, high energy, amazing tracks, and a lot of fluro. It’s so much fun that you (almost) forget you’re working out, ‘till you realise at the end that your 80s themed eyeshadow is no longer where it used to be. There was such a great buzz to the class. Everyone was in such high spirits and it made for such a great time. I’d also say that it doesn’t matter if you haven’t tried aerobics before, it really does cater to everyone. Over all; loved it! Daniela M Josh’s class was an eclectic mix of everything great about the 80’s - fast-paced dance combos that were both fun and workout based, moves that channeled authentic 80’s movies and musicals, aerobics mixed with classic pilates moves and a bangin’ playlist to sweat to! I loved every minute and couldn’t stop singing along :) Emily M I had such an amazing time! The music was good and the dance moves were easy to learn. I would recommend to everyone who wants a fun workout but still challenging enough! I can’t wait for the next class! Angela T
