Climb Nation | Climbing Coach Coventry

Amazing coach, would highly recommend.John supported me on my journey from a indoor climbing instructor to achieving my Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) so I can now take groups outside climbing on single pitch crags.John took me out and within a day taught me how to place trad gear and had me leading trad routes by the end of the day. He not only teaches you what you need to do but the reason behind it so you have a greater understanding of why your doing it which helped in the long run. Over the past year he has helped me on my journey by going out with me and developing my personal skills ready for training and assessment.

John has done a number of performance coaching sessions with me. His effective process of observation and assessment, followed by a clear explanation and targeted goals has allowed me to push both my sport and bouldering grade. He was also very informative around efficient training and injury prevention, helping me focus my gym sessions and hangboarding. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to develop their climbing skills.

John is simply a climbing legend, his passion for teaching and coaching speaks for it self.John is an amazing mentor, colleague and friend. Yes I am biased but John always facilitates a positive/inspiring experience, whether that is indoors/outdoors, bouldering or roped, begginer or advanced, you are guaranteed to have a great time!

I was coached by John for a couple of months on an indoor training plan. His plan helped my climbing loads and I enjoyed the sessions with him. Would recommend!

I have been having coaching for my climbing from John for about five years now and I couldn't recommend him more! His friendly and knowledgeable coaching style makes you feel both supported and encouraged to push yourself in your climbing and the results have been brilliant, both grades and confidence wise. Definitely worth it!

John is an excellent coach who has a passion for climbing, he has a wealth of knowledge for both indoor and outdoor disciplines. John has supported both me and my son Lukas from the very beginning of our journey as complete novices. He took my son Lukas on at 6 years old, from a raw young man with potential to a national competitor in both roped climbing and bouldering. I can honestly say without Johns help we wouldn't be where we are today.
