I don't recommend! It took me weeks to finally get into a class with them. I paid for a group of 4 because they said we could all get a $10 discount per person since it was all of our first times.
Their app wasn't working for weeks. They said we all needed our own accounts and wouldn't sign us up over the phone. When it finally worked, I booked our class but couldn't apply the first time discount. I asked them afterwards if they could refund me the $40 and they refused. After a LOT of explaining, they just gave it as credit to apply at their business but I don't want to go back there.
They were misleading, very difficult to deal with, and completely took advantage. I was told different info from different people there. It was just a huge waste of time. The class was fine, but you spend most of the time watching others because only one person can go at a time.

UPDATED RATING!! First things first, I loved attending classes here.
More than can be described.
Guys beware!! After attending FIVE drop in classes that had different students in each I began my Silks series intro course. I've been practicing yoga for a long time at studios from coast to coast and pride myself on my studio etiquette and have made "Keep your eyes on your mat" my mantra.
To my categorical dismay, I received an email from Sky Candy (See Below) informing me I was no longer welcomed and they were refunding my money "For the comfort and safety of our teachers and students."
The incongruities: The classes had rotating students and I never spoke to any or saw any more than once, hence I question what student could have feared for their safety based on an hour class with no one on one interaction. So "folks from the studio"??
During my five classes with six students in each, I rarely saw another guy and the few men I saw practicing were very advanced. There were no guys in the intro series classes that I saw. I'd read volumes, volumes into that last sentence.
So when I read these absurd and unfounded accusations assassinating my character is a farce of biblical proportions. And then for the cherry on top, they were using my picture on their Yelp landing page?? (See Screenshot below) Come on?! You are double dipping by saying I'm an ogre but using my picture to augment your public image on Yelp?? Please take it down!
If there was any chance of these accusations being accurate, founded or held any legitimacy I'd not be sharing this less than flattering tale. But there isn't. Period. Why else would I share this publicly if I had anything to hide? I wouldn't and I don't. I did nothing wrong and am implacable, nay retractable in my assertion and my reputation in my yoga community speaks for itself.
Men, I would be wary. Anytime you don't see any guys and something this insanely over the top happens, there's a reason. I'm happy to field any questions.

I purchased a private lesson for 5 people and the entire class we used 1 silk to train 5 people on. After training in 5 different gyms on silks this was a waste of money. I paid $40 a person and we all shared a silk. I'll never bring a group back. After all that they only learned how to lift themselves on the silk. No basic skills were taught in 1 hr.

I celebrated my birthday with a group total of 5 women at Sky Candy. The staff made setting up the private session a BREEZE! They followed up with me every step of the way, which I greatly appreciated. The pricing in my opinion was very reasonable. Our group chose to split the cost and the individual price per person was what you'd normally expect to pay for this sort of activity. Our instructor Winnie was AMAZING! She made sure we learned the proper technique all while enjoying our time in the class. The session was very thorough and allowed us to try out each of the apparatuses that Sky Candy offers. I would definitely recommend that you check out their classes with the drop-in option or choose to celebrate a special occasion like I did!

Sign up for the intro to aerials, it's life changing! The instructor I had, Marisa Pisano was absolutely fantastic! Just to give you a little background about me, I'm currently on a weightloss journey and recently lost 83lbs. As part of my journey, I am trying new things especially things that are out of my comfort zone. This was definitely one of those things. I was super pumped and nervous at the same time. At the time that I attended the class, I was 5'2" and weighed 192lbs, so still being overweight I knew it would be a challenge for me.
I did notice that I was the largest person in the class and at first felt like I wouldn't be able to achieve anything that the other people could do. Boy was I wrong! Even Marisa was so encouraging and supportive. I never once felt out of place or shamed of my body! I was practically able to do almost all of the task that were given! There was a real challenging one that I couldn't do at the time but will be back soon to crush that task!
Hopefully if you've made it this far in reading my review, then you will give their classes a try! Literally all shapes and sizes are welcome and it was extremely fun and exhilarating!

I have been doing classes, workshops, private lessons, and performances through Sky Candy for over a year now, and it has been a life-changing experience. My instructors have all been fantastic, and trapeze has become a true passion in my life. It's certainly an expensive hobby, but it's well worth it to me. The studio is inclusive and suitable for all ages, sizes, and strength/ability levels. I've made so many amazing friends, and I've seen my body do things I had no idea it was capable of. Take an intro class to see what it's all about. You may just find that the aerial life suits you beautifully.

I struggle with finding the motivation to work out, but Sky Candy actually does make it fun and easy. The classes are interesting and the instructors are both supportive and challenge you to grow. There is such a strong sense of community here. I can't wait for their new space to open.

I've been training here for almost two years on silks and I LOVE working with Sky Candy. All of the instructors are talented, welcoming and wonderful. There are classes for everyone and many different apparatuses to practice on with many conditioning/flexibility/movement classes to supplement your training throughout the week. It's addicting!
Love my circus community and I'm excited to continue my journey with them in the new space at Springdale General!

Great Youth Classes! My daughter takes lessons here. She loves it! It has done wonders for her self confidence and she has taken to it quickly. Their instructors are patient and very good with kids. They even do parties! My daughter did hers there after she had started lessons, it was reasonably priced, well organized, and they went out of the way to be inclusive to all of the kids.

I love Sky Candy. The classes are work outs without feeling like work outs. The instructors tailor the class to your skill level. I hear people say "I'm too to try this." Give it a try. You'll be surprised. I'm an almost 50 mother of 3 with back issues. If I can do it - you can do it. And it's a blast!

I arrived at Sky Candy three years ago, completely out of shape,and way older than the average student (read 'retired'). I have to say that never once have I been made to feel anything other than welcome, encouraged, accepted, supported, and valued. My body has completely changed for the better: my strength and flexibility have been challenged, and the challenge has been met. I walked in that first day feeling like it was impossible. Today I call myself an aerialist. For the first time in my life, I look forward to working out! Thank you, Sky Candy.
