Aerial Yoga Near Me in Claremont: Fit Rituals' Hammock Classes

Fit Rituals Studio teaches aerial hammock classes for up to eight people at 1420 North Claremont Boulevard, Suite 102-A, on the corner of Foothill and Claremont Boulevard in Claremont, Los Angeles County. The first half of its beginner and intermediate hammock class is stretching and aerial yoga poses, and the studio has just added a dedicated Aerial Yoga class on Friday, November 6, at 8 am. If you searched aerial yoga near me from the eastern San Gabriel Valley, the first class costs $40 and comes with a free week of unlimited classes.

Fit Rituals calls itself a woman-owned boutique fitness studio specializing in aerial fitness, spin, bungee and strength training, and Mindbody lists it as women-owned. Its booking account still sits under the slug on-your-grind, a trace of an earlier identity. One member testimonial on the homepage says Fit Rituals has been her go-to spin studio since 2019 and that she drives 30 to 40 minutes from Chino Hills, and it names the owner as Bern, who greets regulars at the front desk.

The About page leans on community rather than equipment: a small boutique atmosphere, a close-knit group that keeps you accountable, and a promise to welcome members of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels. Mindbody shows an average rating of 4.98 across 279 ratings. Today the schedule mixes spin, weight training, K-pop dance, bungee, yoga sculpt and gentle yoga with a deep aerial program of hammock, lyra hoop, square and cube.

Be precise about what you book. The new Aerial Yoga class, listed in the Mindbody schedule for Friday, November 6, at 8 am with eight spots and 60 minutes, approaches the hammock through the lens of yoga. The studio's description promises breathwork, a guided warm-up, a flowing sequence, a chance to explore a floating posture such as an inversion or a backbend, and a grounding cool-down before Savasana, with softer lighting and space to slow down.

Until that class runs weekly, the regular route in is Beginner and Intermediate Aerial Hammock. Its description says the first half includes stretching with the hammock and aerial yoga poses, and the second half moves into foundational wraps, poses, tricks and simple sequences. No experience is needed, skills are tailored to your level, and leggings are strongly recommended. If you only want the yoga half, tell the instructor at the start.

In late October the adult hammock classes run Monday at 6 pm as Beginner and Intermediate, Tuesday at 7:45 pm and Thursday at 6 pm as All Levels, and Wednesday at 6 pm and Saturday at 10:30 am as Beginner. Each class is 60 minutes and capped at eight hammocks. Aerial Open Gym follows on Monday at 7 pm, where you train on your own with an instructor present for light guidance but no instruction.

Aerial Lyra, on a suspended hoop, runs Thursday at 7:15 pm and requires grip socks. Kids Aerial Hammock for ages five and up runs Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 pm and on Sunday late mornings, with Halloween-themed kids' classes on Sunday, October 25. A Gentle Yoga mat class runs Wednesday at 7:30 pm if you want a floor-based stretch after the 6 pm hammock session.

The First Class Pass costs $40, and after that first class you get a free week of unlimited classes, starting from your second booking. It is only for new accounts with no reservation history and expires seven days after purchase. That week is the best way to compare the hammock, lyra and gentle yoga classes before committing.

After that, a single drop-in is $35, valid for 30 days. Monthly packs without auto-renewal are $75 for three classes, $100 for five and $144 for eight, all expiring a month after the first visit, and Mindbody also sells a 15-class month for $240. Unlimited membership is $159 a month with a minimum three-month commitment. College students are asked to call for the current student offer.

Cancel at least four hours before class; inside that window the studio charges a $15 late cancellation fee. Arrive at least 15 minutes early, say at the front desk that it is your first time, and sign the general waiver. Most classes have limited spots, so the FAQ asks you to book in advance rather than walk in.

For aerial and yoga classes the studio recommends bringing your own yoga mat, though loaner mats are available. Bring a water bottle; filtered water is available for refills, cold bottles are for sale and fresh towels are provided. Wear fitted leggings so the fabric does not pinch the backs of your knees. If you add a bungee class, the harness system requires participants between 90 and 200 pounds, and the studio recommends not doing bungee while pregnant.

The studio sits in a shopping center on the corner of Foothill Boulevard, the old Route 66 alignment through Claremont, and Claremont Boulevard, and Mindbody lists on-site parking. Driving is the practical choice, since the corner is a strip of suburban plazas rather than a walkable downtown.

For a slow morning after the Saturday 10:30 am class, the California Botanic Garden at 1500 North College Avenue is about a kilometer west and focuses on plants native to the California Floristic Province. Claremont Village, with its shaded streets near the Claremont Colleges and the Metrolink station, is a short drive south. Plan B: if all eight hammocks are booked, U Plus Fit in Arcadia and Air Fit Bungee in Burbank also teach aerial yoga.
