High Flying Tamara

Having a hard time sticking to your New Year's resolution of losing weight or getting in shape? Maybe it's time to shake up your traditional workout. Tamara Laine chased an unconventional and fun way to workout at Streb's space in Williamsburg.

Streb offers an array of classes including acrobatics, trampoline and trapeze. The signature class, Pop Action, was designed by the company's founder Elizabeth Streb over the last 20 years. It incorporates the company's techniques of rapid movement and falling and helps conquer fears.

Need tips for the trapeze? Just ask head trapeze instructor Hanah Mozden. Mozden's No. 1 tip to staying calm while flying through the air? "Listening."

Streb is not just a gym for acrobats, it is actually the home of the Streb Extreme Action Co. The company begins the New York City performance season next month.
