Strength in Motion, Art in Form

The Philosophy

We believe true strength is built through purposeful movement, the kind that supports mobility and longevity, not just aesthetics. Whether through the artistry of aerials or more traditional strength training, the goal is the same: to move better, feel stronger, and build a body you feel comfortable in.

Studio 22 was founded by Victoria, whose journey began at 27 with no fitness background. Within a year, she progressed from being unable to perform a pull-up to performing aerials professionally. That experience shaped a training philosophy grounded in body awareness, and respect for individual biomechanics. As someone who is hypermobile, she learned first-hand that strength must be built with intention and that understanding how your body moves is just as important as how much you lift or how advanced a skill appears. This approach is the foundation of Studio 22.

We believe it is never too late to start. Our purpose is to create lasting change, whether your goal is to build strength, develop a new skill or simply move without pain.


The Space

We set out to create a completely bespoke space that feels intentional, refined, and unlike any traditional gym. Every element of Studio 22 has been carefully considered: from purpose-built, engineered equipment to visual and audio design that inspires movement, focus, and creativity.

Located in one of Vancouver’s landmark buildings , the studio offers expansive views of the skyline and surrounding natural landscape.

We believe environment matters and having a completely private and inspiring space doesn’t just elevate your training, it helps you focus on your goals, whether that is strength, artistry, or recovery.

Testimonials

  • As someone who has lived in a larger body most of my life I am used to feeling out of place in fitness focussed spaces. This has never been the case with Victoria. Victoria is incredibly experienced as an aerialist and coach and is able to seamlessly adapt poses, entries or sequences to support me to not only meet but exceed at my goals. She is also tactful and supportive while challenging me to try things before assuming I can’t. It takes a special kind of coach to get me out of my head , and Victoria is just that kind of coach. I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to work with Victoria and believe I would not be making the progress I am without her classes and encouragement.

  • Victoria is the "jack of all trades" when it comes to being an aerial artist that also shines in her skills as an instructor. She strikes the perfect balance of having a grasp of what you are capable of, while also being really patient in explaining and problem solving for whenever I struggled with a series of movements. Since starting my circus journey with her 4 years ago, I have been able to achieve my splits, 3 consecutive pull ups when I couldn't do a single pull up before, and perform a routine to an audience. As someone who is afraid of heights, I am grateful for Victoria's empathetic approach to instruction as it has helped me confront my fears and grow confidence in myself.

  • I started training with Victoria in person on silks and currently training contortion with her online. She is an inspiring and personable mentor. She approaches every coaching opportunity with empathy and creativity, catering to every students differences.

    — Maya F (age 17)

  • I have had the pleasure of practicing with Victoria in a number of disciplines in private and group sessions. She has a strong ability to balance a practice to all levels and skills. I greatly look forward to practicing again with Victoria!

    — Kevin D (age 37)

  • Victoria is an amazing coach. She creates a space that feels safe, empowering, and supportive, while still pushing you to believe in yourself more than you thought possible. Her coaching style is patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She meets you exactly where you are, celebrates every small win, and somehow helps you do things you once thought were impossible. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach.

    — Cat K (age 54)

  • I’d been struggling to achieve rollups on rope, but with Victoria’s guidance I was able to pinpoint specific areas that I needed to work on. She gave cues that helped me understand complicated techniques and rollup-specific conditioning to target areas that were lacking in strength since she knew what my goals were. She has great fundamental knowledge of aerials and excellent body-awareness, which allows her to offer exercises that are specific to each person, as well as harder or easier variations should you need it. She pushes you just enough to figure out complex sequences, but not too hard to the point you give up. Whenever I have a new goal, or want to figure out a move, she’s the first person I go to.

    — Rebekah S (age 24)

  • If you are looking for a challenging and supportive aerial class, I cannot recommend Victoria strongly enough!! Whether you are a new, returning or excelling aerialist, Victoria is an amazing coach who is able to support you in whatever your goals may be. Victoria has helped me make progress in my skills and more importantly has helped me feel confident and capable on a number of apparatuses. I would not be where I am today without her support!

    — Cindy T (age 33)

  • Victoria is an exceptional coach who brings both expertise and enthusiasm to every class. She teaches a wide variety of poses and routines on the silks, consistently introducing new techniques that keep each session engaging and inspiring. Her positive, encouraging approach creates a supportive environment where everyone feels motivated to grow and succeed.
