About the climbing training plan

how it works

A training plan is built out of 4-week training cycles. You determine how long you want to stick to training. Although we recommend to take at least 3 cycles to maximize your chances of improvement.

We will determine your baseline by an intake questionnaire, a testing session and a video analysis. Based on all that data, you’ll receive your own, fully tailored plan.

Then the actual fun part kicks in, you crush, sweat and work your *ss off for as long as the plan lasts.

The training journey ends with a testing session again. So you will have a nice picture of the progress you’ve made!

Does your climbing plan contain 4 cycles or more?

With a training trajectory of 16 weeks or longer, we would like to know if you’re on the right track. Therefore you will get a testing session in between as well.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

A training plan is offering you a well thought, structured and balanced way of exercise planning all in line with reaching your goals. A lack of structure could result in over- or undertraining or misalign with your objectives.

Every professional coach at Game On! is skilled and trained to provide you a state-of-the-art training plan. We are blessed to work with a former national champion and the coach of the Dutch national team.

Shoot! We sincerely hope you won’t get injured. But if you do, please cease climbing and training immediately and reach out to a medical professional and to us as soon as possible. We can guide you in the right directions.

Depending on the type of injury we will look for a fitting solution on a case-by-case basis.

How do I get the quickest results? We have to disappoint you. There is no shortcut in climbing hard or skipping grades quickly. The only things you need to do is to work freaking hard, stick to your plan, and don’t skip rest days. Remember, working hard is fun, and we do our utmost to add fun along the way.

During the session, reconsider your form according to our instructions and video yourself to evaluate. You can ask a fellow climber or Google for help on your form, be open but stay critical. Don’t push when a certain exercise hurts. Exercises can be slightly uncomfortable but should never hurt. After your session you can reach out to us for assistance.

About us

"Former multi-time Dutch Champion"

She is celebrating her silver jubilee with 25 years of climbing experience under her belt. Of that quarter century, she has spent fifteen years in competition. This love for plastic delivered her, not one or two, but even three national titles (lead climbing in 2004 and 2005, bouldering in 2009).

It was not only plastic that Rachel crushed, also the rock was not safe for her physical strength and endurance. Rachel clipped the chains of two 8a+’s, one in Frankenjura (Center Court) and one in Berdorf (Hermann Buhl). It is lead climbing that fits her physical characteristics the best, but indoors she likes the playfulness and social aspects of bouldering.

Rachel has a background in human movement science, which gives together with her climbing experience, a perfect profile for being an excellent trainer. Many trainers in the Netherlands will know her since she was their tutor. And above all, she is psyched to share her passion for training and shift your limits beyond what you think is possible.

About us

"Ron's the business"

The love for climbing all started with alpinism and sport climbing, and now Ron has been a passionate boulderer both indoors and outdoors for almost a decade. His home turf is, and has always been, bouldering gym Sterk in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Discipline comes naturally with Ron and combined with his background in bio-medical science, he soon developed in a fanatic and evidence driven DYI training beast. Now it is time to combine forces with climbing training professionals and spread all the knowledge gathered in the last years.

The hardest boulder ever sent outdoors by Ron checks in at 7B+, Magic Bus in his beloved Fontainebleau, France. Although he is trying to win the ever present age game, and given that Ron has a very busy personal and professional life, his ambition is never ever wavering. Therefore he is striving, with hard work, perseverance and dedication, to send a 7C in the coming years.

"COACH DUTCH NATIONAL CLIMBING TEAM"

Another celeb in the Dutch climbing scene. Aukje is climbing for over two decades now and she has seen many climbing gyms in the Netherlands and beyond.

Her most noteworthy coaching experience comes from being head coach of several Dutch climbing teams in the last years. Aukje has obtained a master degree at the Johan Cruyff academy and joined the master coach program by the Dutch Olympic committee (NOC*NSF). You will most likely not find a more well certified coach in the Netherlands when it comes to climbing.

Aukje is not only to be found on the side line, she also likes tying in at the sharp end of the rope. She loves cruising many hard moves in a row and clipping chains. The most impressive ascent of her climbing career is Rauhfaser in Frankenjura, graded as German 10-, which equals a serious 8a.

Last year was a year full of injuries and Aukje’s short-term goal is to get that pumpy feeling again without any injuries. And if all goes well, why not send a 8a+? If you train hard and smart, anything is possible.
