What are the Group Training Classes in the Gym? 🤔
Ever wondered what’s going on in those classes?
The class description lies in the name – BTR Group Workouts. Our BTR group workouts are designed by our team of coaches to offer something for everyone. To summarise the atmosphere within each session… supportive, focused, social, effective. ✨
Whether you’re a member or just want to give BTR a try, you can get involved. Non-members can join with a BTR Day Pass.
🟢 B = BOULDER
- There are 15 BOULDER sessions each week.
- The BOULDER focused sessions have been designed for both ON & OFF THE WALL development.
ON THE WALL sessions with Coach Jacob
Technical
Here you will develop bouldering fundamentals through to the BIG FLASHY MOVES under an experienced and highly qualified coach.
Each week you will learn or practice a new technique; plus, WHEN & HOW to apply it.
Surface Variety
Time to develop your skills across the whole gym. Where Boulder Bros practice slab; where the nervous practice something new. These sessions focus on developing the boulderer across any terrain.
Social
Social Saturdays are fast becoming the session of the week. Here Coach Jacob joins the class in a collaborative approach to bouldering.
OFF THE WALL sessions with Coach Sarah
Strong & Mobile
As always, from the fundamentals through to the flashy stuff, our Off the Wall sessions develop the Boulderer’s Body from head to toe.
Major focuses are single leg strength; pull strength and endurance, balance and the now famous Core Finishers.
🔴 T = TRAIN
- There are 13 TRAIN sessions each week.
- The TRAIN focused sessions have been designed for the everyday MOVER. Someone that wants a balanced approach to training, where no “movement stone” will be left unturned.
- A typical TRAIN session will take you on a full movement journey with a huge variety of movements in each phase.
- Each TRAIN phase is generally 6 weeks and focuses on developing 3-5 key movements and the systems that support them.
🔵 R = RECOVER
Recover components are regularly incorporated into the BTR programming and phases.
Includes:
- Breathwork
- Mobility exercises
- Zone 2 training
- Joint-specific prehab & rehabilitation

What’s Happening in BTR Now?
BOULDER
VB-B3 Wednesdays are in Week 7 of 8 and tackling coordination movement, learning how to link multiple moves together rather than solving one move at a time. The same theme is carrying through Projecting Friday and Social Saturday, with some huge improvements across the group while keeping the fun, low-pressure atmosphere.
TRAIN
We’re in Week 7 of our 8-week Strength Phase, bringing back bench press, squat and deadlift. This week the crew is lifting 5% above their previous max training weights, with testing week coming up next.
RECOVER
Recovery remains a key focus this phase, with reduced training volume and prescribed sauna sessions helping everyone arrive at test week fresh and ready to perform.
The BTR Challenge Starts 12 October
Our next BTR Challenge kicks off on 12 October.
Over the challenge you’ll develop:
- Better bouldering technique for VB-B3 progression
- Improved fitness for bouldering
- Greater strength and conditioning for performance and everyday life
- Smarter recovery strategies, because training hard only works when you can recover well
Whether your goal is to send harder boulders, move better, get stronger or simply feel great, the Challenge will give you the structure, coaching and community to make it happen. 💪
