01.2011 Desert Companion: Acrofit
I hate gyms. Not honest gyms in honest neighborhoods, local Ys, rec centers and the like. I mean those vacuum-sealed, 24-hour Temples of Fitness, crowded with clinical weight machines manned by beefy guys with thick brown leather belts strapped around their waists, lined with treadmills and Stairmasters dutifully overseen by serious-looking women with razor-sharp ponytails.
So, early last year I tried something new. Acrofit. It’s run by Alvin Tam, a former Cirque acrobat, in a yoga studio at Town Square’s Whole Foods. Acrofit is a deceptively simple mix of acrobatics and cardio. Some of the moves are child’s play – literally…

05.07.2009 Las Vegas Weekly: Leaps of Faith
Alvin Tam counsels others on conquering their fears by flinging their bodies into harm’s way. This is a story about fear. Not fear of the economy. Not fear of death. But fear of the unknown, the uncertain. Alvin Tam calls this the oh shit moment. The former Cirque du Soleil acrobat knows a couple of things about that moment, when you realize you’re about to try something that’s right on the edge of your capacity, or—as has happened to him—when you’re in the middle of trying something and you’re somewhere in mid-air…
