What is the studio like?

ZAPA is housed in a spacious, fenced warehouse with high ceilings and sturdy rigging points. We offer a marley-covered climbing area with mats, adjustable apparatuses for all skill levels, a workout corner with fitness equipment, and a comfortable viewing area. Lockers and ample parking are available. Bathrooms are a short walk from the main studio.

How hot or cold is the studio?

Located in a former cotton gin, our raw warehouse space closely reflects outside temperatures. It can get quite hot in summer and cold in winter. We use heating and cooling units and schedule classes to maximize comfort. In extreme weather, classes may be canceled with make-ups offered.

What should I bring and wear?

We provide all equipment—you only need to wear form-fitting clothes that cover legs, midriff, and underarms (leggings, leotards, or unitards work well). Avoid baggy clothes and remove all jewelry to protect yourself and our equipment. Bare feet or socks are fine (note socks can be slippery). Bring water and cooling towels, especially in warm months. In winter, bring layers without zippers.

Do I have to make an account on VAMP?

Yes. A VAMP account is required to take classes at ZAPA. It lets you register for classes, manage payments, purchase memberships or punch cards, reserve workshop spots, track your progress, and sign waivers.

How do I move up in class levels?

Each class builds skills and strength toward the next level. Instructors track progress and recommend when you’re ready to advance. It’s normal to repeat levels for mastery. Classes evolve each session to keep things fresh.

What happens if I miss a class?

If you miss a class for personal reasons, you may take one make-up class at your skill level at the end of the session. If the studio cancels a class, a make-up will be scheduled.
