EVOLVED CLIMBING TRAINING
Skill-based training & education for optimal performance, long-term gains & continuous play.
HI, I'M MERCEDES
—
I'm an athlete, author, and nutrition and climbing coach, also known as Modus Athletica. I have personally trained thousands of clients of all abilities, from recreational to pro level competition climbers, including the Swedish and Dutch national climbing teams.
Not only do I have a ton of experience in training athletes, I have extensive education in the areas of fitness, movement and exercise science that I leverage in order to help climbers like you become stronger, more flexible, and to develop healthier eating habits so you can crush for a lifetime.
Join thousands of others to get more flexible and stronger for climbing.

TRAIN WITH ME

I work with motivated climbers to optimize climbing performance using skills training, strength, flexibility, nutrition, recovery and mindset. (Read more about my method below.)
Factoring in life stressors including family, career and hobbies, my training programs help you focus on learning about yourself in order to feel better, climb stronger, and enjoy the sport of climbing for years to come.

One-on-one coaching will not only make you straonger, but will also keep you accountable and build good training habits, all while hitting your long-term skill goals - this is my specialty!

Quit trying to do it all alone and invest in yourself for the long term.
THE MODUS ATHLETICA METHOD
—
The goal for Modus is to build strong, healthy climbers for their lifetime. This takes looking at training from many angles. Here are the 6 pillars we focus on when you train with us.
-
Skill - Work on mastery. Work on skill each climbing session.
-
Strength & Flexibility - These build the foundation that all power and endurance are built upon. By developing these you feel more confident and efficient.
-
Mentality - build a good base of mental tactics and strategies to manage fear and self-doubt
-
Recovery - One of the most important factors to becoming better in anything. When you train within the Modus framework, this becomes second nature
-
Nutrition - The goal is to know yourself better, as well as viewing nutrition, not just as a way to express your culture and joy, but as a way to fuel for performance and long term health.
"Not only does Mercedes instantly make you feel comfortable, she has a special talent for finding weaknesses and the knowledge to match exercise and drills to push you gently past them."
