We Train Together

by Rémi Samyn

We Train Together is a training program that equips participants with the basics needed to progress in their climbing. Climbing Life Kenya collaborated with Rémi Samyn to bring this English version of On s’entraîne ensemble to Kenyan climbers seeking to increase their climbing levels and capabilities.

Introduction

​

We Train Together is a 6-month training program through which Rémi shares his 25 years of training experience for free with the hope that “it can be a good inspiration for climbers who dream to start a new project to increase their climbing level”. The idea is to engage climbers in a regular training pace by focusing on one training cycle every month. 

​

The exercises are adaptable so anyone can take on this training program, whatever their climbing level and/or preference may be!
