“There seems to be a lot of training available online for stretching or general strength training, but very little for the specific conditioning that will help aerial training, so it’s great to have this available. What’s even better is that it’s a really great programme, easy to follow and with gradual progressions on all of the exercises. It’s also an excellent all-round programme, giving a complete and thorough grounding in all areas. I am hoping it will become a regular part of my aerial training moving forward.” - Mark Walsh

“I learned so many new exercises! But more importantly, I noticed improvements in my compression strength, pulling strength, and pushing strength. The compression strength and pulling strength both translated to improvements in my aerial silks skills! Finally, the improvement in my weaker shoulder's stability, especially when overhead, was truly amazing. For example, I can now push up to wheel easily, without having to stop and push up from my head.” - Sari Harrison

“This fundamental movement cross training came at the perfect timing! I’m a little over a year in my recreational aerial experience and the program was lead up to and ended the weekend of my first aerial hoop showcase. The workouts complemented my aerial training and didn’t leave me exhausted throughout each week while progressively building over time. In fact, after consistently doing the program I feel like my stamina improved on the apparatus and I felt like my body has been able to recover from when I was previously performing heavy weight lifting as my cross training. I highly recommend Verity’s program if you are looking to compliment your aerial training with a whole body program fit for any starting fitness level.” - Caitlin

“I definitely feel stronger abs which will improve my inversions.” - Cheryl

“I really enjoyed this program, it was challenging but at the end of the weeks I saw visible improvement in the things I could do on the pole and on the hammock!” - Milena

“I really enjoyed the program and appreciated the level of thought Verity put into the program. The progressive loading was paced well and I never felt too burned out from the training to do other aerial training during the week. This program helped me establish a habit to cross train off apparatus and I love the simplicity and consistency in the exercises!” - Anonymous

“Verity has put together a comprehensive program that is accessible and sufficiently challenging for all levels, whether you're new to both aerial and cross-training, a more advanced aerialist who has limited experience with weight-training, or even an aerialist with weight-training experience looking for a program that compliments their on-apparatus work. The progressions are designed to give you a good workout from week one, and I loved how good I felt after each session, somehow both exhausted (but not trashed) and reinvigorated. Most of all I loved the unexpected gains: I went from never doing handstands and bailing out of a chest-to-wall hold at ten seconds in week one, to the final week with my "wiggle shoulder" finding the correct stabilization to actually hold a full forty seconds. This program is really for anyone looking to improve their cross- and weight-training regimen, even if you've never stepped foot into a regular gym.” - Morgan Fox

“I appreciated the flexibility of this workout, I was able to complete these at home, the gym, or my studio. Before starting this program, I had set a personal goal of doing at least a pullup, and by the end of the program I was able to accomplish that goal!” - Anonymous

“I noticed my strength increased since week 3 and definitely an improvement on my aerial practice. As a totally beginner I really appreciate the self awareness improvement as well like I now know what’s going on with my body while moving in the air. Gotta keep training and practicing because you just helped me to see more clearly the path I have to follow. Thank you 🍀” - Anonymous

“I really enjoyed the training programme! I liked the length of the sessions, they were easy to fit into my day and didn’t feel overwhelming. Also the content of the sessions again made them easy to fit into my week around aerial training and left me feeling like I’d done a good workout but not completely exhausted! I appreciate the options of reps and weights and the assurance to opt for the lower end if thats how my body was feeling. The video links to each exercise were really useful to get the right form, and it felt like Verity was there supporting me through the journey. It helped keep me accountable on my fitness journey which, for me, is the biggest thing!” - Kelly McDowall

“I’m really grateful for this aerialist training program. I saw significant improvements in my arm and core strength, and my flexibility, particularly in my wrists and shoulders. Before, I couldn’t sit on my heels with my fingers facing my knees, but now I can. The program catered to different levels, helping build proper muscle strength and technique from the basics, which is crucial for progressing safely. Despite a minor shoulder injury happening outside the course, my physio found most of the exercises from Verity's program beneficial for my recovery, and I was able to continue with lighter weights and reps. Verity was wonderfully supportive throughout the course, and I highly recommend it.” - Erika Milanesio

“A major achievement for me is that I can now perform advanced flow in my hammock aerial. I can’t believe it, as I couldn’t do the advanced pose earlier this year. Thank you so much, Verity, for the cross-training!” - Anonymous
