Info and Frequently Asked Questions

History of JJGym
Jeri Habberstad (professional stuntwoman and circus artist) and Jack Kalvan (professional juggler/entertainer) dreamed of having their very own home training space. In January, 2007, after a year of construction, the gym was completed. Shortly thereafter, word started getting around about the new space, and aerialists and stunt performers began showing up, looking for a place to train.

For first time visitors:
JJGym is attached to the back of our home on a normal neighborhood street and is somewhat hidden from the front. Go around the garage side of the house to the back.
PARKING: Street parking is usually easy. Be careful not to block any driveways or walkways or you may be towed.
If it's your first time here, fill out a waiver when you arrive.
Guest Book: All visitors please sign our guest book every time you visit.
Please DO NOT use the trampoline or other circus equipment without prior permission from Jack or Jeri.

Aerialists
We have 6 points for hanging aerial apparatus. Each point has a swivel and can be raised and lowered to your desired height.
The 2 center points can be raised to 20 ft high, and 4 lower points go up to 16.5 feet.
There are also exposed trusses and an extension ladder if you'd like to climb up and rig something different.
Please bring your own apparatus, including carabiners, etc.

Classes
If you would like to teach a class, please contact Jeri.
