Personal 1:1 flexibility coaching for those who want a full assessment, goals analysis and bespoke training plan.
How we deliver
At Lattice, we understand that flexibility is an essential pillar of climbing performance. We also understand that being strong through an entire range of movement is key to the best performance and athletic health.
Your improvements in flexibility, mobility and strength start with a full, detailed assessment of your upper and lower body flexibility. Your coach will then build you a customised plan with daily session guidance and performance monitoring throughout your plan.
Flexibility training that transfers to climbing performance
My mobility has increased drastically in the areas we focused on and it’s translated directly to my climbing in many ways. In 3 months of training with lattice I’ve improved 2 letter grades in my ability to flash gym routes.

Increase strength and control throughout your climbing movement
I have definitely felt more in control in stretched out positions and positions on the wall involving hooks. Also when I have to get my legs close to my body in weird angles I feel way more in control and don’t cramp up like I have before. Feels amazing!
- Jan-Ole
I have been following the plan religiously and have already made great progress across all exercises so super motivated to continue! I believe my improvements are already translating into my climbing sessions as my movement and body position is making the problems easier every session. I am super psyched with how everything is going and will remain consistent with the training

Reviews
Just finished my first 12 week block of flexibility training and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My mobility has increased drastically in the areas we focused on and it’s translated directly to my climbing in many ways. I’ve recently realized mobility was one of my major limiting factors when it came to climbing performance. I spent a year trying to address mobility myself only to see a slight improvement, in 3 months of training with lattice I’ve improved 2 letter grades in my ability to flash gym routes. If mobility is a major weakness for you I couldn’t recommend this more!

I decided to start flexibility training after recovering from a back injury – after nearly a year of moving stiffly I’d lost a lot of my range of motion and I did not know how to get it back without potentially causing more pain/repeating the problem. Josh was absolutely brilliant to work with – he was really knowledgeable and took a lot of time and effort to find exercises that worked for me and slowly but surely I got back to my ‘normal’ range of motion and surpass it. It was great to work on strength at end ranges as well as just passive stretches, and I can really feel this difference whilst climbing. I’ve gone from feeling like a stiff robot on the wall to finding some flow again which is great 🙂 High steps and heel-to-hand moves especially feel much better!

Back in September last year, I decided to train my flexibility and really commit to it. Not just because I wanted to climb harder and it was an issue on my climbing, but mainly because I had struggled with lumbago and lower back problems for a long time. After trying a lot of coaches, physios and yoga teachers, I was fortunate enough that the flexibility program from Lattice was released at the same time I was checking their other climbing training plans.
Needless to say, I’ve improved to not touch my toes (nor my ankles, almost) to fist-to-floor and almost palms to floor. Surely, it takes a lot of commitment and time, and having 40min dedicated to flexibility after your climbing session, plus daily stuff to do, can feel tedious… but the results are definately worth it. I highly recommend Josh, couldn’t be happier with him. The support and additional information to flexibility I’ve gotten in the last 6 months is being brilliant and super helpful to my progress as an athlete.

Always struggled with my flexibility so i decided to focuss my training on this issue. I feel a lot of progress in my movement on the wall. High steps were always impossible for me but now they work. Feels really awesome.
What I didn’t expect is a lot of improvement in my heel and toe hooks. Before I placed them in position but now they really work and I can pull hard on them. Before that was a big weakness in big overhangs, now my legs feel like additional arms!

I have gotten a lot stronger over the past few months from ticking one V7 and projecting V5s in a session or two to now having ticked 2 V8s and flashing, or just a few attempts to tick, most V5s that I have tried. I could only attribute this to the stretching and increased flexibility. I feel a lot more confident on the wall and people have noticed my increased flexibility, which further tells me this is working. Also due to your explanations, I have gained more of an awareness of my movement and how to get the most out of it.

Flexibility was a real weakness for me before doing this plan. I’m no gymnast now, but I can definitely notice the difference where it counts; on the wall. This is especially the case with awkward heel hooks and high steps. The plan was meticulously personalized to my specific goals, and my coach, Josh, was top-notch; always there to lend a hand and very fast to respond to questions. I can’t recommend this plan enough.

I am really pleased with the flexibility plan. I started from, what I consider, a low base and actually my first obstacle was to overcome extreme post climbing stiffness and pain and from just a few weeks into the plan this was hurdle was overcome. Since then Josh has helped every step of the way to slowly improve my mobility and this has allowed me make real progress on my winter bouldering project! The feedback is great and Josh is always there to answer any questions and we often use video footage of me doing exercises so he can help fine tune things. I have been looking for something like this for a ling time and it’s just great that it now exists for the climbing community; it will take a lot of personal commitment but what ever you are willling to give Josh and team will be there with you every step of the way.

This flexibility plan was amazing! As an already-pretty-flexible climber, I have held off on plans like this, but I am so happy that I chose to try it out. Josh worked with me to develop not only flexibility but also more strength in those flexible positions, and I have been feeling the benefits in my climbing already. The care that was taken in building up the plan, in feedback, and in following up with any questions was really well done and I felt really supported throughout my plan! This training is for everyone- even if you think you are already flexible!
