About Kris Peters

Hooray!! I finally did an interview with my favorite climbing trainer, Kris Peters! He’s been working on TrainingBeta with us since basically the beginning, so I’ve had plenty of time to get to know and love this guy. He’s kind of intimidating on the outside (big muscles, beard, hardass trainer), but he’s mostly a playful teddy bear on the inside.

What I’ve noticed is that while he jokes a lot with his clients and gives them a lot of shit, he takes their workouts and progress VERY seriously, and puts his all into their success. He takes on a lot in life, between working with clients one-on-one, doing online personal training with TrainingBeta and keeping up with his own athletic goals.

Kris Peters has trained climbers of all abilities from all over the world, including Daniel Woods, Alex Johnson, Matt Segal, as well as people who just do this sport for the fun of it, and he’s had amazing success with a lot of them. He also wrote our 6-Week Power Endurance Training Program and other climbing training programs, which have gotten a lot of positive feedback from climbers all over the world.

What We Talked About

  • His background as a trainer
  • How he approaches every individual climber’s needs as their trainer
  • 2 Case Studies: How he trained a 5.11- climber vs a V10 climber
  • His thoughts on cardio training (and whether or not he’d tell Daniel Woods to run as part of his training)
  • Who should be campusing and who should NOT
  • All about the new training subscription program he created for TrainingBeta (coming soon)
