STRENGTH / CONDITIONING
TRAINING
At PPA we want to support and encourage acrobats to put in the solo work in preparation for attending in person programs, as well as, in between programs.
We believe engaging in cross-training throughout the entire year to mitigate injury, build your functional strength, and empower your acro practice. Both bases and flyers benefit from strength training. If you see a program you’d like to attend and are struggling with the pre-requisites, we encourage you to seek strength programming either by booking online or in person sessions with our personal trainers and/or with the support of Perform Athelete online program.

Perform Athlete was founded by Shani Stephens. She is a professional acrobat, strength coach, and circus artist you may have seen rocking stages in companies like GOM.
She spent years building and refining a program that I genuinely wish had existed earlier in my career. One built on the belief that circus artists deserve the same level of structured, high-performance training as any elite athlete. It is a structured strength and conditioning program built specifically for acrobats - with dedicated tracks for bases, middles, and flyers, so your training directly reflects the demands of your role.
