adult training program

This group training session is perfect for someone looking to advance their climbing abilities. If you’re new to the sport, jump start your progression. If you’re an experienced climber, but feel like you’ve plateaued, team up with our coaches to break through it. You’ll hone your athleticism through a combination of on-the-wall climbing drills and off-the-wall agility work to improve technique. You’ll also take on supplemental exercises like hangboarding, plyometrics, and weight lifting that target the muscles climbers need to grow stronger and stay healthy.

why join?

This course is centered around a type of training called “Cyclic Periodization.” Cyclic periodization allows you to be at your peak when you want to be. Properly done, chances of injury and mental burnout are minimized. Also, the amount of time you spend stuck at conditioning and strength plateaus tends to decrease. This version of cyclic periodization consists of five major periods, which are sequentially organized to cover an entire climbing/training cycle.

  • Conditioning Period

    This period serves as a warm-up and active rest cycle. As a warm-up, the conditioning phase prepares the body for the intense training to come. As an active rest phase, it assures that no major de-conditioning occurs, while providing a mental and physical break from strenuous workouts.

  • Load Period

    The load period builds endurance, connective tissue and some muscle strength and provides specific movement. During this phase, work in micro cycles of a hard day, easy day and moderate day. Then, repeat the micro cycle with a higher resistance. During the last part of the load period, you should actually be weaker than in the middle of the period due to the high volume. In this endurance-oriented phase, you should only occasionally be pushing yourself to your absolute failure point.

    Master Techniques

  • Recovery Period

    During the recovery period the volume of work should be low. Spend no more than one to two easy days a week in the gym during this phase. The recovery phase prepares your body for the upcoming intensity of the next period.

  • Peak Period

    The peak cycle produces maximum strength and power (muscle hypertrophy). As in the load cycle, work in a hard/easy/moderate micro cycle. In this phase, you should usually be pushing yourself to your maximum.

    Make It

  • Off Cycle

    During the off cycle, your body will now be peaked to climb very hard. This is when you are all smiles, because you are sending all your projects.

testimonials

  • From a climbing perspective, what makes this class amazing is that Jeremy has given me the tools to “recreate” the cyclical training program I continue to progress in my climbing.

    And finally…the people — we really benefited from having a class with awesome people — it was very collaborative, easy-going climbing with the group, which just made the experience all the better. The group still climbs together even after the class ended.

  • Completing the Adult Training Program was certainly one of my best decisions of the summer. ATP connected me to a supportive, fun community of climbers, offered me attuned and individualized coaching, exposed me to new climbing drills and protocols, and equipped me with the tools to continue improving independently.

    I would heartily recommend the program to friends and other climbers!

  • The best thing to take away from the course is how to adjust each exercise within the program to match your ability and progressively build from there.

    Overall, any climber will be able to build arm strength, finger strength, and climbing fitness through this program.

  • I think the biggest thing I got out of the course was learning how to train on hangboard, campus board, tension board, and spray wall, as well as learning how much fun those can be on their own.
