The 12-Week Plateau Breaker

Break your plateau.
Send harder.

Private indoor bouldering coaching with Thomas Benzing. A plan built around your climbing, weekly eyes on your footage, and someone in your corner who actually sends hard.

Over 12 weeks: sharper technique, fewer weak spots, a real understanding of your own climbing — and sending (and flashing) a grade harder. No guarantees. Just the work that actually moves the number.

Sound familiar?

You've plateaued, and climbing more isn't moving the number.

Stuck at the same grade for months. Training hard with no real structure. Not sure if it's strength, technique, or the wrong plan. And a quiet worry about tweaking a finger from overdoing it. Here's what climbers tell me every week:

"Stuck at my gym's V8/9 for about 6 months now, and progress has really slowed down."
"My sessions don't have any structure, and recurring injuries keep me from progressing."
"I feel like I have more potential but I don't know how to put it to use."
Who this is for

This is for you if:

You climb 3+ days a week
You're somewhere around V3 to V9
You'll actually follow a plan and do the drills
You're 18+ — or 16–17 with a parent involved

Not the right fit if you're brand new, or you want a shortcut without putting the sessions in. That's honest, and it's better for both of us.

Proof

What it looks like when it works.

"I'd followed Thomas for a long time — his style of climbing is exactly what I wanted. The only thing I wasn't sure about was how effective the training would actually be. Then I went from V7 to V10/11 in one summer. He's super easy to talk to and gets the important points across, and my technique improved 100%."

Zach, coached 1:1 · V7 → V10/11 in one summer

"More focus, understanding of body movement, and pushing myself harder, so overall I just send harder. Nowadays flashing V8 to V9 consistently, executing V10s in two sessions or less, and sending V11s."

CJ, current client

"When I started I was maxing gym V7 — V5 on Kilter and TB2. Working with Thomas I hit gym V8, Kilter V8, and TB2 V7, and it set the foundation for everything since — I've got a V10 project going now. The biggest unlock was execution: he had me on drills in week one and I noticed the difference the next week. My understanding of movement and programming is so much stronger, and the VOD reviews are goated."

I'm Thomas.

I climb to V13 — I regularly flash V10 and send V11s and V12s — and I've been climbing six years. I make climbing videos because I genuinely like breaking this stuff down. You've probably already watched me climb, so you know I'm not going to hand you filler.
