Training Cohorts
Training alone doesn't compound.
You show up. You climb. You try hard.
But nothing really stacks.
You repeat the same patterns, miss the same details, and finish sessions without a clear sense of what actually improved. Without structure and feedback, effort doesn't compound – it reinforces the plateau and the habits keeping you there.
This is how progress starts to stack.
Training Cohorts bring structure, consistency, and accountability together:
- 2–4 climbers matched by level
- one coach across all six weeks
- every session building directly on the last
Not a drop-in class. Not a one-off workshop. A small group working on the right things, long enough – and consistently enough – to actually change them.
Why training in a group works
When you train alongside people at your level, something shifts. You try harder. You stay engaged. You show up – because your group expects you to.
You don't need to manufacture motivation. The environment creates it.
This is a well-documented phenomenon called the Köhler effect – and the research shows it’s strongest when people train in groups. TL;DR: you push harder when you're training with others.
Every session builds on the last.
Week one starts with a clear look at where your group is. From there, each session targets what's actually limiting you – and builds directly on what you worked on the week before.
Over six weeks, that turns into real change:
• cleaner footwork and more stable positions on the wall
• better control and tension on steep board climbs
• better sequence reading before you pull on
• more effective use of boards and training tools
• fewer wasted attempts, more intentional climbing
You're not just identifying problems. You're fixing them.
What you'll work on
Each cohort is shaped around the group, but typically includes:
• Movement mechanics – positioning, tension, footwork
• Beta reading – understanding sequences before climbing them
• Board training – using Kilter, Tension, Moonboard, and spray walls with intent
• Habit identification – recognising and correcting what's actually limiting you
• Session structure – how to train effectively between sessions
Two cohorts launching now
Beginner cohort.
Build proper movement and habits from day one – so you're not spending years unlearning what you figured out alone.
Intermediate cohort.
Break out of a plateau by identifying what's actually holding you back and working on it consistently, week after week.
This is for you if...
• You want to train with intent, not just climb
• You're new to climbing and want to build real technique from the start – not figure it out alone
• You've been stuck at a grade and don't know why
• You show up consistently and want structure to match
• You want feedback that carries across multiple sessions, not a one-off fix
This probably isn't for you if...
• You're looking for a casual, drop-in class
• You prefer to train without feedback or structure
• You can't commit to a weekly session for six weeks
