Unlock Your Pullover

A 4 Week Class Series

Starting 22nd October, 2025

Welcome to Unlock Your Pullover!

A 4 Week Class Series teaching you how to build strength and technique to work towards and achieve a pullover.

This class series is designed to give you the tools to work towards nailing your pullover, focusing on building specific strength and learning the detailed technique of this skill. Pullovers are the foundation of a lot of more advanced aerial skills, and yet they themselves are a challenging skill to learn. With the right drills for strength building and under technique, they can become another skill you learn and utilise in your aerial. They’re also an excellent way to get onto the apparatus, regardless of body proportions!

We’ll be learning the following:

  • How to efficiently warm up your whole body for pullovers

  • How to assess your current level of strength, and what specifically needs focus for you to achieve your pullover

  • Bent arm strength drills, and specifically building strength pulling in an inverted position

  • Dissecting the mechanics of pullovers and pullover specific drills

  • Building strength transitioning between horizontal and vertical positions in the air

  • How to modify strength drills

  • Compression strength for pullovers

  • The different levels of pullovers; from standing and stepping in, to doing this from a dead hang and pulling up and over the bar!

Each class will be practical and led by Aerial Strength and Conditioning Coach Verity Bradford. You’ll receive feedback and be able to as questions throughout the sessions. There will be time at the end of each class for Q and A.

Class Dates:

  • Wednesday 22nd October, 5pm BST (UK clocks change 26th October)

  • Wednesday 29th October, 5pm GMT

  • Wednesday 5th November, 5pm GMT

  • Wednesday 12th November, 5pm GMT

Yes, there will be recordings if you can’t make the classes live! 🎉

Here’s what each week’s classes and training will cover.

Week 1 - Dissecting The Pullover

In week 1 we will break down the mechanics of pullovers, looking at the start, middle and end of the movement. We’ll learn specific drills to build strength in each part of the movement, plus look at modifications and how to self assess our level of strength. We’ll also address some of the common mistakes made when training pullovers.

Week 2 - Horizontal And Vertical Pull Transitions

In week 2 we’ll focus on building strength moving between horizontal and vertical positions. This is a really important part of this skill that often gets overlooked. You’ll learn drills that will help you improve this unique type of strength, and understand how it translates to the pullover itself.

Week 3 - Stepping Into The Pullover

In week 3 we’ll dive deeper into how to achieve a pullover from standing, and focus on dialling in technique. We’ll also look at adaptations you can make based on your body proportions. We’ll look at conditioning for this movement, with a particular focus on core and compression.

Week 4 - Pullovers From A Hang

In week 4 we’ll look at how to work towards doing a pullover from a full hang. Even if you don’t have the strength for this yet, understanding the theory is super valuable, and there are still drills you can train that will help you on your way. 🎉

Who this class series is for:

- Aerialists who have been training for a minimum of 6 months and want to start working towards or improve their pullover

- Aerialists who want to build more bent arm strength, and generally prioritise strength training

- Aerialists who want to learn more about how to train towards this skill in a super accessible way

- Aerial coaches who are looking for more teaching tools for pullovers

Pre-requisites:

To get the most out of these classes you’ll need to be able to invert from standing. If you don’t have that level of strength yet, you’re still very welcome to join and learn, but some exercises might not be accessible to you yet.

What you’ll need:

Something you can hang from e.g. a pull up bar, rings, aerial apparatus - if you’re using gymnastic rings you’ll also need resistance bands to create a bar across the rings for some of the drills. A small amount of floor space to train in. A yoga mat would be useful for a bit of extra comfort. You’ll also need two yoga blocks and a lightweight resistance band. 

(Please note if you don’t have apparatus you can hang from during the classes, you can still sign up and do them in your own time when you do have access to apparatus.)

How do I know which option is best for me?

I’d recommend going for the classes alone if you just want to learn the tools for pullovers, or if you’ve got a pretty jam-packed training schedule right now.

If pullovers are a priority goal or you’re super curious about how to program for them, the Level Up option would be great. I normally only offer this level of one to one coaching and support as part of my 12 week coaching program, so this is also a great way to experience working with me in this capacity for a shorter time commitment.

Hear From My Students About My Previous Online Classes!

  • “Verity’s focus on theory as well as practical stuff, her knowledge when I had questions was really good, and I like how each week was specifically tailored so we knew what we were doing and working towards.”

  • “Overall, Verity is a brilliant trainer and will follow you through your training. You can ask any questions if you are not sure about the exercise given and she will make sure that this makes sense to all. ”

  • “I really enjoyed how thorough the class was without being overwhelming! Just the right amount of knowledge!

    It was really nice to have the different progressions for different levels.”

FAQ’s

Still got questions or not sure if this is right for you? Drop me a message!

  • No! It’s fine if you can only make a couple live or if you watch all of them on replay in your own time. I'm aware not everyone will have access to equipment at the time of classes.

  • Yes, you’ll have access to the recordings within 24 hours of the live class, and you have lifetime access to them.

  • You don't need a lot of floor space, but you'll need access to something that you can hang from with space all the way around you.

  • These classes are not beginner classes, so I don't recommend them if you're brand new to aerial (unless you've been doing something like calisthenics for some time). If you haven’t been training aerial for very long, but you're really keen to learn from these classes, you could still attend and do as much as you can. Some moves may not be accessible yet, but I do try and give as many modifications as possible.

  • You can still attend the classes live, and just join in with the warm up and floor drills, then do the class again when you have access to equipment. Or feel free to wait until you have access to equipment and go through the replay.

  • You’ll receive a welcome email and you’ll immediately be able to get started with a quick questionnaire and sending me videos of where you’re at with your pullover. This gives me the details I need to create your tailored programming, which will be ready for you to start from the week of the first class. We’ll also connect on Telegram which is where you can send me videos for feedback during the 4 weeks!

  • It’s not possible to predict how quickly someone will achieve a skill because it depends on so many factors, including where they’re starting from. But at the very least everyone will come away with the tools for achieving a pullover, and knowing what they need to work on.

  • Both classes and the Level Up coaching are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
