ABOUT COACH NIKOLAS KAROLIDES
Nik has competed nationally and internationally and coached athletes of all levels, including youth teams, adaptive, V14 climbers, and national competitors. His unique experience as both a coach and competitor gives him valuable insight into what it takes to reach the highest levels in climbing.
Before working with Nik, I had never followed a structured training plan—I just climbed. As an AMGA Mountain Guide, I’ve spent years in the mountains, but strength training was the missing piece in my performance. Since starting with Nik, I’ve felt stronger than ever, getting back on 5.13s with confidence and power. His training has been essential in preparing me for upcoming trips to Patagonia and Kyrgyzstan, giving me the strength and resilience I need for big objectives. I can't recommend his coaching enough!

Personalized Training Plans
A tailored approach to training
Consultation
My coaching process begins with a 30-minute consultation, where we discuss your climbing history, strengths, and goals.
This session is a chance for us to connect and dive deeper into your climbing background and how we can optimize your performance based on your goals. Together, we’ll start shaping a plan that fits your life and supports sustainable progress across all areas of your climbing—strength, technique, performance, and injury prevention.

Using video analysis I assess your technical, physical, tactical, and mental abilities to create a personalized training plan.
Using video analysis, I determine areas of improvement and design drills that refine technique, build strength, sharpen decision-making, and build confidence—all within a plan built for long-term progress.
