Misfit Aerial is a members-only, private aerial facility located in Montgomery, Illinois. Our core objective is to provide the space and equipment for instructors to run their own businesses, as they see fit. Both rooms are outfitted with large crashmats, pulley systems for easier apparatus adjustments, and six rig points for aerial or six poles. Safety for our aerialists is top priority here.
 
At Misfit, the encouragement of autonomy and the cultivation of community is what we're all about. When you take classes with your instructor, you are directly supporting a local, small business...Theirs! 
 
The instructors offer an array of services seven days a week such as aerial classes for kids to adults, pole classes, workshops, aerial flow, parties, and more. This provides you the opportunity of freedom to schedule classes that work within your busy schedule.
 
Are you someone who steps to your own beat? Then why shouldn't the way you approach fitness be any different? So, what are you waiting for? Your journey begins today!
