Want to get strong, both physically and mentally?

Struggling to tap your try hard and give it your all when you climb?

Are you comparing yourself to others while you're climbing and it's removing from the joy of the sport?

Fear holding your performance back even though you know you're strong enough?

I'm a strong believer in holistic training, helping you gain the strength and technique you need to send those hard projects, while not neglecting your movement and mindset.

Fear and flow workshops

So many climbers are held back by mental barriers when climbing, over processing every movement and over gripping on each hold. Our workshops give climbers a variety of tools and techniques to truly be immersed when climbing, feeling comfortable and confident while pushing their limits! We're available to deliver workshops in climbing gyms, at climbing festivals and other climbing events. From mind management, managing fear, efficient and correct movement on rock, and integrating these concepts into their physical training, climbers walk away feeling empowered!

I could speak about my climbing achievements, the climbing businesses I've run, and all of the places in the world I've climbed, but I don't think that's why you should work with me. You should work with me because I've been on the journey myself: I started off from the bottom rung of the ladder, with no previous experience in sport, terrified of heights, even more scared of falling and constantly distracted by invasive thoughts. It also took me literally months to send my first V1 and the first time I climbed on a rope outside I was so uncomfortable I nearly cried. Yeah, I went on to climb pretty hard, but more importantly: I am truly immersed and present when I climb now, I can climb through routes that present real danger and still manage my mind, and most importantly, I'm happy when I climb!

I understand what my clients are going through, often because I've been there myself. Not only do I help clients to improve, but I help them to have a healthy relationship with their passion. One of the things that excites me the most is that so much of what we learn with this kind of training can be integrated into our wider lives.

In 2015, I had a serious climbing accident that resulted in doctors telling me that I'd probably never walk properly, let alone climb again. After several years of recovery and perseverance I went on to climb harder than I ever had before. I use what I've learnt from this experience to help people learn to try hard, to persevere and to not let their preconceived expectations hold them back.

Luke has helped me correct many bad habits, learn new powerful techniques and change my attitude with every climb. His expertise in body dynamics and movement psychology is impressive and the very personalised sessions will help you get more from your climbing sessions.

I took a lesson with Inner Heights on fear of falling. Fear is hard to get over quickly, but Luke's advice still keeps popping up in my head every time I have that fear or hesitation.

I’ve been training with Luke remotely for a month now, and it’s been an amazing transformation. Luke is a really intuitive and knowledgeable climber, and also an exceptional coach and motivator. My programme was designed for home training with just the basic equipment that I have at home, as I did not have access to a climbing wall (due to lockdown, I still don’t have access). My body felt much more balanced, efficient and powerful after just a few sessions, and my mobility improved loads. Luke also knows just how to push me to push past my own perceived limits. It’s amazing how fast my body adapted and improved every week. For example, push ups have always been my weakness, and I got from totally struggling to do 10 to 30 max push ups within 4 weeks! I feel stronger than ever, despite not having climbed for more than 2 months. I’m super excited to continue training with Luke and can’t wait to get on harder projects when I get a chance to climb outside again. Super powerful stuff!

After three years of climbing, I felt like I was stalling. I started training with Luke in January, with the goal of improving my bouldering in particular and my climbing fitness more generally. Initially I was concerned that accommodating three sessions a week would be too much with my professional life, but Luke is always flexible and makes it work. In a few months, my fitness, strength, and technical abilities have improved dramatically: a few months ago I was struggling with V3 climbs. Now I'm on sighting V4-5.

The biggest shift, though, has been how I feel when I'm climbing. I used to find myself getting frustrated and leaving sessions feeling depressed at my lack of progress. Luke has really helped me learn to enjoy the process of improving.

David

When I started working with Luke, I was looking for a climbing coach, but I found so much more. Over the past six months, Luke has created a highly personalised program that fits seamlessly into my life and prioritises my overall well-being and mental preparation. It’s not just about climbing harder; it’s about growing as a person.

The results? Beyond anything I could have imagined. I’m stronger and more confident on and off the wall. I’ve tapped into a part of myself I didn’t even know existed—a resilient, empowered version of me. Luke’s coaching has profoundly impacted my climbing and my entire life.

Luke isn’t just a coach; he’s a fantastic human who truly cares about helping people unlock their potential. Look no further if you’re looking for someone to help you improve your climbing and life. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Sylvia

I was less than a year into climbing when I first met Luke. I didn’t realize then that his workshop would mark the start of an incredible journey, but I’m so glad it did.

Luke’s expertise in climbing goes far beyond technique—he genuinely understands my goals, challenges, and curiosity. His bespoke program has not only improved my physical strength but also elevated my mental game, making me a more well-rounded climber.

With his training program, I’m able to maximize the benefits of the time I invest. Our coaching calls are equally invaluable—we set realistic expectations, adjust the workload to fit my life, and dive deep into climbing research and geeky topics that keep me inspired.

I’m grateful to have Luke as a mentor and a friend on this journey, guiding and encouraging me to reach my inner heights.

But don’t just take my word for it—connect with him and experience it for yourself!

Training online with Luke has been an enriching experience for me! Luke pays attention not only to gain my physical strength but also shift my mindset and perspective towards climbing and well-being. I strongly recommend working with Luke for your holistic climbing experience.
