Want to Climb Better? Gymnastics Strength Training is the Key

If you’re a climber looking to improve your performance, we’ve got a session for you. On Sunday 9th June at 10am, we are holding a 2-hour Gymnastic Strength Training class.

– Strength Progressions: Gain access to gymnastic strength techniques that directly impact your climbing performance. 

Bodyweight Strength Foundations: Build a solid base of bodyweight strength to help you overcome the most challenging aspects of your climbs, from overhangs to slabs.
