I hate exercise and haven’t been to a formal gym in years… but here… at the Hive… by hyper focusing on “learning tricks” I have confused my brain into thinking I’m not exercising I’m just having fun! But wait there’s more! I note have ab lines and am the strongest I’ve ever been!! I even GREW half an inch from all the inversions. True facts from my medical record - age 52 - 61.5” the following year - 62”!!! What?! The community of teachers and students is warm and welcoming and encouraging every step of the way. Whether you are in great shape or just starting your fitness journey - if you’re looking for something totally different that’ll look REAL COOL - this is the place!

New to Silks, and wow what an amazing place. Can tell the teachers really care about their students, and safety which is important to me as a newbie. Super professional, clean, and will definitely be back!

I've been training here since March and I've tried several other gyms around the country while I've traveled. The Hive not only got me hooked on silks, but the teachers are awesome, we learn SO much, while also getting a great foundation for sequencing. The staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and great to interact with. Couldn't recommend this place more.

I've been coming consistently since April 2023 and I basically live here now. The community is incredibly positive, welcoming and inspiring. I'm doing things I never would have imagined a year ago. I'm better physically, mentally and emotionally thanks to this place and the wonderful instructors I've had the pleasure of working with. If you're at all curious about trying circus, don't wait another day! Try a few different apparatuses and see what you like doing. It's hard (and a little frightening!) in the beginning but the more you condition and practice the easier it gets, and you'll possess the most upper body strength you've ever had in your life! The feeling of training is less like going to the gym to lift weights and run, more like playing on the jungle gym when you were a kid. Come get obsessed!
