MEET THOMAS
“With a passion for MOVEMENT and CLIMBING, I want to help people reach new HEIGHTS!
I started coaching around 10 years ago.
With insights from many different movement disciplines I want to bridge the gap between the "movement culture" and "climbing community"
The goal is to support you in becoming:
-As flexible as a yogi🧘
-As strong as a gymnast🤸
-As explosive as a freerunner🏃
-Be as coordinated as a dancer💃
-Manage distance as a martial artist🥊
-Manipulate objects as a circus artist🤹
My goal is to share the power of movement with the world of climbing and discover how we can bring training for climbing to new heights.
Love for climbing
Ever since I began regularly climbing in 2018, it quickly became a passion of mine.
I soon discovered the transferability with my regular movement practice, which immensely enhanced my climbing experience.
This dynamic combination provided me with a versatile toolbox to address my weaknesses and sustain physical progress even on days when I'm not actively climbing.
