JOIN THE FOUNDATIONAL STRENGTH PROGRAM

A 10-week strength training program and educational resource for climbers who want to become stronger and more resilient athletes. I created this program specifically for climbers who want to build resiliency and foundational strength to support climbing.

This program is for you if:

• You want to learn how to squat, bench press, overhead press, deadlift, and row 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 2-3 sessions per week to strength training along with your normal climbing sessions

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.”

“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.”
