Aaron Koz - Coach
Aaron Koz is a science communicator with a passion for aerial arts, coaching, and human performance optimization. As an online and traveling aerial and circus coach, Aaron has honed his expertise in guiding students through the world of aerial and circus arts. Currently, he contributes his skills and knowledge as a Performance Advisor to client’s of Fount.bio, a human performance optimization coaching service.
At Fount.bio, Aaron utilizes his background in neuroscience and his extensive experience in strength and skill training and teaching to empower individuals to unlock their full potential.
His dedication to enhancing human performance extends beyond coaching, as he has authored several comprehensive e-manuals, including “All Apparatus C-Shaping,” “The Aerial Spinning Reference Guide,” “C-Shaping At Home,” and has co-authored “Couch To Aerial Fitness” and “Aerial Straps Level 1 Teaser.” These resources serve as valuable references for students, coaches, and performers in the aerial and circus world.
Aaron’s fitness and longevity coaching approach is supported by his work in the Fitness, Aging, & Stress Lab at UCSF in San Francisco, where he delved into the effects of cortisol on telomerase and other blood marker levels, and whether coaching could support high cortisol individuals in getting the CDC-recommended guidelines of exercise.
Aaron’s personal training journey in aerial arts and coaching began in Washington, D.C. before he ventured to New York City, where he embarked on Circus Warehouse’s intensive program. Seeking continuous growth, he sought training under elite coaches in San Francisco, Montreal, and Mexico, further refining his skills and expanding his repertoire. Drawing from his background in neuroscience, Aaron brings a unique perspective to his coaching and personal training informed by his natural utter lack of fine motor control, effectively integrating scientific principles into his teaching methodologies.
In his pursuit of excellence, Aaron actively collaborates with other experts in the field, ranging from physical therapists, performance psychologists, and occupational therapists, enriching his coaching offerings. This collaboration ensures the physical and psychological safety and well-being of his students while optimizing their progress and preventing injuries.

Aaron Koz - Performer
Aaron Koz is an aerialist specializing in aerial straps, hand-to-hand, and duo aerial.
Most recently, he performed aerial straps in Saudi Arabia with The Tap Factory. He has been in shows up and down the west coast for festivals, clubs, corporate events, lead aerialist for Cedar Point’s nightly show as well as local cabarets and full length circus shows.

The hoop classes will cover Ash’s ethereal and dynamic flows, spins and rolls, while the straps classes will be taught by Aaron Koz and CircSci-tested drills and progressions to give students the building blocks for swinging, spinning, switches, drops, and c-shaping.
With two structured workshops per day (one hoop and one straps) and unlimited training time on top of that, you can either take both the hoop and straps sections or choose a la carte based on what suits your fancy!
