1:1 Coaching

Coaching

$249/mo

Founding-member rate · Locked for life · Only 12 spots

About $8/day for a fully custom program, weekly check-ins, and ongoing coaching. Cancel anytime after your first 3 months.

What if I'm a beginner?

All levels welcome. I've coached athletes from their first month on a wall to V10+ boulderers. Your program is built for where you are right now.

What equipment do I need?

Programs are built around what you have access to: gym, home wall, hangboard, or just a pull-up bar. I've written plans for athletes training out of vans.

How is the program delivered?

Your program is hosted on Notion, easy to pull up on your phone right in the gym. We'll walk through it together on a call so you know exactly what you're doing and why. Weekly check-ins are via text.

How does billing work?

A simple monthly membership. Start with a 3-month commitment, then it's month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. Founding members lock in this rate for life, even as prices rise.

What athletes say

"He immediately knew how to help me break my plateau and built me a plan that was easy to stay consistent with. He helped me build finger strength and improve my movement to break into V7s and V8s. I also learned a lot from our texts and calls together!"

Andrew

"I live and travel in my van, so I needed someone who would tailor training to that. Gunnar crushed it. I'm now self-sufficient and capable of continuing my training with full confidence."

Scott

"After the program I sent one of my projects, getting me super psyched to see the hard work payoff. Excited to use this again when phase 2 training starts."

Jasmine

"My experience has been great. The workouts are just the right amount of difficulty and allow for enough recovery. Everything is dialed to where I'm at."

Jeremy

"Fantastic. Really pleased with the training plan, the personalization, and how responsive Gunnar is whenever I have a question."
