Why We Built Skybound: A Welcoming Aerial Fitness Studio
Skybound Aerial & Fitness Studio was created to be the safe, supportive, inspiring place we wished existed. We wanted a nearby space where circus arts and fitness could coexist with compassion, creativity, and community—an inclusive arts community for all. When that space did not exist, we built it.
At Skybound, strength meets softness, science meets circus, and every body is welcome to discover what lifts them up. Whether you’re guided by an aerial fitness instructor, flowing with an aerial yoga instructor, or working one-on-one with a certified personal trainer or personal trainer in Puyallup, you’ll be supported by skilled professionals who care deeply.
This is the Skybound Aerial Fitness story—rooted in movement, powered by people, and shaped by passionate coaches, artists, and art instructors near me who believe in something more than a typical studio.

Meet Our Founder, Amber Matteson
Amber is a performer, personal trainer, cosmic explorer, and lifelong student of movement, science, and self expression. She studied physics and psychology at Pacific Lutheran University, became a NASM certified personal trainer, and earned her SEL pilot’s license. After discovering aerial arts, Amber performed, taught, and produced shows as the artist behind Cosmic Reign, weaving vintage charm, cosmic fire, and playful creativity.
