JOIN THE FOUNDATIONAL STRENGTH PROGRAM

Welcome to the Foundational Strength Program

The only strength program available FOR climbers made by an elite climber turned elite powerlifter.

12 months of simple & effective strength programming done for you PLUS coaching support for climbers that want to get STRONG AF and build resilience.

If you’re a climber who wants to strength train but you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of training information available online and you’re stuck trying to figure out what exercises to do, how many reps and sets, and how to fit it in with your climbing…this program is for you!

I want you to Imagine if you had a FULL YEAR of strength programming and coaching support. You could focus on your strength training and have your strongest climbing year yet, without compromising your climbing sessions.

This program is for you if:

• You want to learn how to squat, bench press, overhead press, deadlift, row AND hangboard safely and efficiently

• You want to build strength and resiliency to support your climbing

• You want an effective, time-efficient, sustainable program to follow

• You can commit 1-3 sessions per week to strength training along with your normal climbing sessions (we’ll show you exactly how to fit it all in)

Who am I?

I am Dr. Natasha Barnes.

As your coach, my ultimate goal is to educate & empower you to climb to your full potential and build resiliency on and off the wall.

To support you in getting there, I promise to:

• Educate you on pain, injury, & smart training strategies to help you break climbing plateaus & reduce your risk of injury

• Teach you how to implement the knowledge you’ve learned in your climbing & strength-training routine, so you can feel empowered to make the best decisions for you, your goals, & your body

• Acknowledge you as the only expert in your body, & create a coaching environment built on fully respecting your autonomy

• Challenge you to get curious about the why behind your programming & the things we’ll discuss, & hold you accountable to stick to the plan

• Help you build resiliency with personalized strength training, rehab, & climbing programs to meet your unique goals

My Mission

To educate & empower climbers to build resiliency through strength training and smart climbing programs.

I want to empower you to take control of your rehab and training process and help you become a more resilient human!

I don't “fix” people, I help guide them towards recovery through education, movement, and appropriately dosed training!

Testimonials

“Natasha completely rewired how I think about injury: I now recognize that one must engage in an active rehab program and focus on healing AND gaining strength simultaneously to promote recovery. I have learned so much about self-treatment and have gained holistic knowledge rather than one-time relief. I am so grateful to Natasha - we are so lucky to have her in our community.”

-Celeste

“Truly incredible work and education by Dr. Barnes! I was told by three different MD's after 2 different MRI's that I would need surgery for a traumatic climbing-related knee injury. 5 weeks later I am working up to 1.5x body weighted deadlifts and squats- and feeling mentally and physically revitalized. Natasha's work is ultimately bringing up the overall quality of medicine that we as a community can expect - and rests on a foundation of functional medicine that doesn't require you to sit around and wait for your surgery date.”

-Clara

“Natasha is a level above the rest. Her years as a professional athlete and her deep desire to understand functional body mechanics place her right at the cutting edge of the industry. Her approach is decisive, highly effective and educational.”
