Shauna Waltz
Dec 2021


When did you start at the studio?  I started aerial fitness in march 2021. 

Why did you start?   I started to help cope with my anxiety.

What made you come back and stick with it?  I came back to aerial, because it was fun, different, and I felt like it came naturally to me.

What would you tell someone just starting aerial fitness?  To someone just starting aerial fitness, I would tell them you don't always get everything on the first try, but you just have to keep trying and pushing through even when you feel like giving up.

What have been some of your challenges?   My biggest challenge has been wanting to let my anxiety get the best of me when not getting everything on my first try.  It's been a challenge to continue wanting to try things, so I could keep moving forward.

What apparatuses do you train on in the studio?  Aerial Hammock

Your favorite pose(s) and why do you like it?  My favorite pose is inverted manta ray.  It's my favorite pose, because it's pretty, and on my first couple tries, I could not figure out how to invert, so now being able to do it, is a big accomplishment for me.

One word that defines you?  Motivated

What path would you like aerial to take for you?  I want to keep doing aerial to get really good at it, and maybe even teach it. and that way it can help people the way it helped me.
