Caye McKibben

A gymnast from Jakarta who found her strength again on a Sunday afternoon aerial class in San Francisco. She never looked back.

A competitive gymnast from Jakarta, Indonesia, Caye eventually found a new way to move through aerial arts, turning the skills she had built in gymnastics into a completely new discipline.

Caye grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, where she trained and competed as a gymnast. After graduating high school, she moved to San Francisco in 2017 to attend university. While coaching gymnastics, she began experimenting with aerial apparatuses on her own, teaching herself through movement, exploration, and plenty of time spent upside-down.

What started as curiosity quickly grew into a new passion. Within a year, Caye was performing and teaching both aerial and pole. Over the years, she continued to expand her practice while building a career in fitness and movement. In 2021, she moved to Maui, where she continued teaching group fitness, aerial, and pole while earning her NASM Personal Training Certification and beginning to work with clients one-on-one.

Today, Caye coaches a wide range of people, from complete first-timers to seasoned lifters, aerialists, and non-aerialists alike. Her goal is to help each person build strength, mobility, flexibility, and confidence in a way that supports how they actually want to move.

Caye's approach blends mobility, strength, flexibility, and movement quality. The same foundation that allows her to hang upside-down from silk twenty feet in the air also shapes the way she coaches on the ground.

Her attention to safety, precision, and proper technique is at the heart of her coaching. Whether she's teaching an aerial skill, working through a lift, or helping someone improve their flexibility, Caye believes in building a strong foundation before adding complexity.

Coaching Experience

"At 53 I was recovering from breast cancer and a double mastectomy, and needed to find a trainer who could help get me back to me. Caye met me exactly where I was, and has helped me not only gain my strength back, but given me the confidence to push myself even further, to be the strongest version of myself."

Erica, Personal Training Client

"I've grown so much throughout my fitness journey working with Caye. From improving my flexibility and building strength to learning aerial, she's helped me push past limits I never realized I was capable of reaching. Caye is incredibly supportive, genuinely cares about each of her clients, and invests in their success both inside and outside the gym. She truly brings out the best in the people she coaches. She's simply the best of the best."

Jacey Michael, Client

"I was intimidated walking in, aerial and pole felt like a world for someone else. Caye made it feel like mine within the first class."

"I've worked with quite a few personal trainers and coaches over the years, but working with Caye has honestly been such a different experience. In the past, I would start off motivated but eventually lose interest or just not want to keep going. With Caye, I actually look forward to my sessions and want to show up. She's so easy to work with and really knows how to push me while still making everything feel doable. What I appreciate most is how much she genuinely cares. Since working with Caye, I feel so much more confident in the gym and in what I'm capable of. I'm so grateful I found Caye and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares."
