Reviews

open quotation I just wanted to say how brilliant it is! Not just the content, clear layout and sequencing - but also the delivery. You are all so clear, authoritative and easy to understand - it really is a masterpiece. closed quotation

Libby Peters

open quotation The course is a gift! It is a concentration of what is essential for flexibility training; it contains a lot of know-how and helps you to progress much more quickly than if you had to read a series of books, ask people and learn by trial and error. And it is fun and motivating! closed quotation

Helen Kieffer

open quotation I’ve started to treat flexibility as a skill you can learn and develop—like strength training—and not something mythical that you’re born with! I’ve always felt overwhelmed by all the unorganised information on the internet. Now, I feel like I have an overview of what’s important. I know how to structure my training. I finally understand: flexibility isn’t rocket science! closed quotation

Patricia

open quotation A great tool for those without a background in sport science who are looking to learn more about training and work towards their own goals. Although the introductory chapters might feel a bit hard to get into initially, as it's self-paced you can go back over material you might have missed in your own time. Having never written a training plan before and always felt a little unsure where to start I found it an excellent tool to take control of my own climbing goals and felt confident to start a plan of my own after accessing the material - I've already seen improvements and managed to achieve one of my big climbing goals recently! I will definitely be revisiting this resource for my own training as well as using it as CPD for coaching training. closed quotation

open quotation Understanding what you do and why is key to going deeper into your practice and building better routines for yourself and your goals. closed quotation

Kike Molares

open quotation Overall a great course! You made it easier for me to deep dive into the fundamentals of training for climbing by presenting novel material and putting it together in one place. Thank you for that! I truly appreciated the template with examples of workouts that has been included. Very helpful. I bought a remote assessment at the same time I started doing the course, and this combination worked very well for me as a beginner in training for climbing. The content of the course helps a lot to understand the feedback provided in the assessment and gives something concrete to begin to work with. Motivation boost! closed quotation

Deryn Kaneko

open quotation A high-quality, clear and comprehensive training package that empowers climbers with the knowledge, tools and tips to effectively design their own climbing training. In this package, Lattice have synthesised their team's coaching experience, working with 1000s of different clients to achieve a wide variety of sport, boulder, trad goals. Our coaching team at Boulder UK climbing wall have found it valuable professionally and personally. If, like me, you already work with a climbing coach, have read about training, or have written your own plans in the past, there are still lots of things to learn and many useful tips for you to consider; completing this training also means that you are able to have more informed conversations about your own training, with your climbing coach! I thoroughly recommend this course. closed quotation

FAQs

This course is valuable for all levels of climber! The great thing about training flexibility is that there is something for everyone! 

Flexibility is an asset that plays closely into our movement and ability to execute techniques when we are newer to climbing. This is a great way to support your movement learning as a newer climber.

As a more experienced climber, flexibility can open up more movement options in your climbing.

For all climbers, improving flexibility will help you get the most out of your other capabilities (finger strength, pull strength, etc.) on the wall.

In this course, we’ll teach you to assess your abilities and select flexibility training that is right for you. The exercise library that we share with you in the course has progressions and regressions – something for all levels of climber and flexibility!

While there is no strict prerequisite, we recommend that participants have at least 6 months of climbing experience to maximise the benefits of this course.

In this course, we’ll teach you to assess your abilities and select flexibility training that is right for you. The exercise library that we share with you in the course has progressions and regressions – something for all levels of climber and flexibility!

No.

This course is accessible and appropriate for climbers who have never trained flexibility before, as well as those climbers who have tried to improve their flexibility and either plateaued, got frustrated, or had success but want to take it to the next level.

In this course, we provide the foundational concepts and approach that you can take with you and continue to apply to your climbing no matter how it evolves over time. This includes a range of tried and tested flexibility training exercises for a broad range of levels.

This course has been created for climbers over the age of 18. If you are under 18 and interested in training, we strongly recommend that you work in-person with a coach – under no circumstances should you watch the course and apply any of the training protocols without advice and supervision from your own coach.

Yes! This course fits well around whatever you are doing right now!

In fact, one of the great things about flexibility in general is that it can fit relatively easily into your schedule. Because flexibility training doesn’t involve your fingers and forearms, you can be resting these and starting to work on your flexibility. Some changes in flexibility can come relatively quickly and you may introduce flexibility training as a way to open up your range of movement ready for your climbing season, project, or whatever climbing you are enjoying right now!

This is not a yoga course.

Some climbers like yoga and that is great! If you enjoy it, it can be a great way to adhere to flexibility training.

What we have found through our years of experience is that not all climbers enjoy yoga and that is fine. You do not need to enjoy yoga to develop flexibility for climbing. In this course, we teach you a range of effective approaches for developing flexibility that we have found work well for climbers. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

We are dedicated to creating free content on YouTube. This has been part of our core at Lattice Training for years! 

What our online courses allow us to do is deliver bitesize lessons in an order that lays out a learning journey.

We can include both theory and practice, as well as examples in a format that is focused on learning experience, and doesn’t have to fit the ‘click bait’ criteria of the YouTube algorithm.

It goes without saying that this learning experience comes with no ad interruptions and allows us to support your learning with downloadable resources, tasks, and quizzes to get you applying what you have learnt. We are dedicated to making our courses the best learning experience they can be and we will gather feedback from you to enhance the course – because you get lifetime access to the course this is an investment in something that will evolve and adapt with improvements over time.

The course is approximately 4 hours long. This is delivered over a 4 week period.

The aim is to complete about 1 hour a week. Don’t worry! We know that life doesn’t always allow this. You will have lifetime access to the course so you can revisit lessons as many times as you want. When you purchase the course, you will have access to the whole course from the get go – we do not drip feed the course over the 4 weeks. This means that over the 4 week period you can get ahead or catch up when it suits you.

The course runs for 4 weeks.

In week 1, you should watch modules 1 and 2.

In week 2, you should watch modules 3 and 4.

In week 3, you should watch module 5.

In week 4, you should watch module 6.

Each week you should complete tasks relevant to the modules you’ve covered. These will test your knowledge and inform the training plan you will create for yourself. You will have the opportunity to submit any questions you may have pertaining to that week’s modules. You will receive a video from a flexibility coach answering the group’s questions each week for the course’s duration.

At the end of each module, there is an opportunity to submit questions that may have come up for you. We will then tackle these in a recorded weekly Q&A that you can watch at your convenience. 

Whilst we recommend which modules you should cover each week, you can move through the course at your own pace and revisit sections.

You retain access to the course and coach Q&As once the course has finished. This means that you can use the course material  to support your climbing for years, as your climbing and flexibility develops, or as your lifestyle changes.

If you work with a coach, you may not be looking to program your own training. However, understanding flexibility training and the process behind programming can still be incredibly useful. Knowing how to train well is an important stepping stone when it comes to completing a training program effectively. Understanding why we are doing what we are doing allows us to troubleshoot and communicate effectively with a coach.

Absolutely, yes!
