SO YOU'RE MOTIVATED TO CLIMBER HARDER, BUT WHERE DO YOU START?

⁠—

As a motivated climber working to up-level your game, I’m willing to bet you’ve scoured the net looking to pull together information into a program based on your individual goals. But chances are you’ve gotten lost in the rabbit hole of analysis paralysis in trying to address important things like how to start, what drills should be in the program, how to progress, how to fit this into your lifestyle, and so on. I will be the first to tell you, there’s a lot of planning that goes into a specific training plan!

You’re most likely looking for a program that not only gets you stronger, but also keeps you accountable, builds good training habits, fits into your lifestyle, all while helping you achieve your long-term goals. Accountability and consistency are the magic ingredients to improving, but you also need a solid plan of attack and to know exactly what you should be focused on.

Needless to say, if you’ve been working on a program and are seeing little improvement, it’s time to look at a new approach. And that’s where I come in... getting you the results you’re looking for is my specialty! 

THE BASICS OF ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

With my individualized one on one coaching and my training plans, I will not only keep you accountable and consistent, I will also educate you on how best to set up routines and habits so you can crush your climbs.

You will also receive some of the best mobility and flexibility protocols while giving you the proper feedback you need on your technique. My name is Mercedes and I will take care of all the details and be your guide on your training journey. Think of me as your personal training Sherpa who does all the heavy lifting so you can focus on your climbing and having fun.

Solid programing, accountability and getting you great results is my specialty. 

EVOLVED TRAINING

With any climbing endeavor, having a solid understanding of your own ability is the first place to start. Honestly, the majority of climbers don’t have a solid understanding of the true state of their bodies and ability. When you take an honest look at yourself by assessing where you currently are, you can then properly prepare yourself for achieving your goals - it not only makes any climb more attainable, but it also makes everything you do a whole helluva lot more fun!

In all of my years of working with thousands of climbers, I’ve found that focusing on improvement in all of the following five areas is paramount at any level:
 

  • Strength
  • Flexibility
  • Technique
  • Movement Control
  • Mental Fortitude

BEYOND STRENGTH: SKILLS & TECHNIQUE

When you only focus on increasing strength, you will lose the long term benefits of training. Strength comes and goes, but technique and skill stay forever. And that’s what I can offer you: a comprehensive toolkit that you can always take with you, no matter where you are in life.

Technique and increasing your control through movement is the basis of the Modus Athletica training, that’s why video analysis is a huge component of the plans.

Improving in climbing is not only about getting stronger, it’s about moving better and improving your skill set.
