Welcome to Aerial Athlete Skill Foundations: A structured 12 month skill training system for aerialists who want to finally feel confident in their foundations on the apparatus.

You understand you need structure and the right drills to unlock challenging skills like straight arm inverts and meathooks, but it can be so confusing to know WHICH drills and where you should actually start. So I’m here to take the guess work away.

I wanted to build a program that guides you through skill training in a realistic and progressive way, to help you achieve skills that feel out of reach.

Because this work and achieving aerial skills takes time.

So if you feel like:

❌ You have no idea what will actually help you unlock skills like straight arm inverts

❌ You’re constantly trying new drills but not being consistent with any of them because you don’t know what will help

❌ You’ve hit a plateau and don’t know how to move training forwards

❌ You have been trying to achieve the same aerial skills for months and aren’t seeing any progress

Then this skill program and membership is for you.

You’ll have everything clearly laid out for every single session so you know what you’re doing will actually move the needle.

What’s included?

✅ Progressive programming that builds over 12 months, taking into consideration the existing needs and schedule of an aerialist, focusing on achieving skills that create an amazing foundation to build from: bent arm inverts, straight arm inverts, meathooks and single arm hangs, handstands

✅ A 2-3 day split across each week, with efficient 30-45 minute sessions that can easily fit alongside your current training

✅ Set and rep ranges giving you flexibility to adjust your program based on what you need each session

✅ Detailed video tutorials for every exercise so you can easily learn movements, understand what cues are important to focus on, and know you’re training safely

✅ Expert coaching support from a professional aerial coach - yes, there is a real human on the other side of your questions!

✅ A plan that you can trust, so you can free up head space and focus on your aerial skill training

Here’s what the program focuses on:

  • Refining your bent arm pulling strength and bent arm invert

  • Unlock your straight arm invert, and build long term straight arm strength

  • Develop single arm strength and start working towards meathooks

  • Hanging core and compression training

  • Handstand training to balance out all of the pulling

  • Mobility and end range strength for the whole body

  • Optional leg strength training to support the skill work

Yes, it’s possible to cover all of these things in a program over a long enough period of time! Ready to build more aerial skills? Sign up below. 👇
