Meet the Trainers
Logan Whiting
Logan is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Certified Personal Trainer, and ClinicalAthlete Powerlifting Coach. He has been climbing for over a decade, avidly pursuing outdoor projects and indoor competitions, alike.
As a motivated climber, he has a vested interest in quality coaching and training information. The boom of the climbing industry is incredibly exciting for a trainer because as climbing becomes legitimized as a sport, effective training will need to take on an increasingly scientific perspective. However, one downside of this increased popularity is the unfiltered flood of vague and unsound training advice circulating on popular social media channels. For example, have you ever been told that you aren’t getting the most out of your training unless you add exercise ‘xyz’? Well, why? What’s the marginal benefit? Is ‘xyz’ correlated with better performance? Is it sports-specific? Is it appropriate for everyone? Is it easily measurable and progressable? Every exercise we consider needs to pass through layers of scrutiny because we all have limited time and limited energy to spend at the gym. It takes a knowledgeable trainer to sift through this information and give you the individualized and evidence-based approach you deserve.
Logan works with climbers of all ability levels and athletic backgrounds. Whether you are an experienced climber preparing for the next competition, or you're entirely new to climbing and want to learn basic technique, Logan’s philosophy is the same: training should be athlete-centered. That is, the plan should be mutually agreed upon, should be flexible, and should encourage autonomy. If you are interested in working with a strength coach, Logan offers 1hr. consultations free of charge.
