Open Gym

Open Gym is open to all current beginner-level adult PSCA students (with a membership, 5- or 10-pack of classes or ongoing private lessons). During these 1-hour practice sessions, students may work only on moves and equipment that they have been trained on by our coaching staff.

Each hour of training is just $10.

Open Gym Policies

Violations of any of the policies below will result in the Open Gym user being asked to leave, and future Open Gym privileges will be forfeited.

Open Gym students must not touch any rigging–Rigging is for staff only! No personal aerial equipment may be used. Aerial equipment will be set to a reachable height by our coaches and will not be able to be reset or adjusted by staff on the floor once the session has started. All aerial equipment must be used with crash mats, which must be cleaned at the end of training.

Signing up for this practice time entitles you to work only on the equipment named in the title and for the hour that the Open Gym is scheduled. Promptly clean up your space, gather your belongings and exit once the Open Gym hour is complete.
