hi
my name is shauna coxy and i'm a
professional climber and this is my
backyard
training setup except it's in my
basement not my backyard
[Music]
the most successful climber in british
history and a two-time folder and world
cup champion
so we actually bought this house because
of the basement conversion so we could
make it into
a training space with climbing boards
that are specific for training strength
and power and then
weights set up for everything else we
want to train down here
we actually cut into the wall the
ceiling to
make it all work so yeah we have
everything we need for training
at home in this space which we
absolutely love
we had this board in our old cellar
which was a tiny little cellar
and was kind of like dark and dingy and
like a typical british seller
the panels came off and it came into
here and was put up at the
exact same angle which is 56 degrees
overhanging this board is designed to
train
my weaknesses yeah if you can train your
weaknesses you become a much better
climber so
we're still adding like little bits to
it so some of the holes in you the holds
all
made by ned my other half my fiancee who
is really passionate about crafting
holds and making them
really pretty
[Music]
so it's time to train now i'm gonna do a
fingerboard session on the beast maker
and then i'm gonna have
a board session and then a little break
so
yeah okay going gotta warm up first
though
warm up essential
[Music]
that's leah that's my coach
this is a lot of hats
music is like so mood dependent
and it depends what time of day i'm
training and how many beans i've got
oh i need intense music
lea is all about the 90s cheese
[Music]
you know you're missing out on something
[Music]
these boards are a lot smaller than like
commercial climbing walls or competition
climbing walls
on the board there's like pinches
there's more sloppy open hand holds and
then there's teeny tiny holes undercuts
so you're training across a range of
different grip types whereas
on a fingerboard you're generally just
training in
one plane
so we have a little air filtration
system in between the boards to catch as
much chalk out the air as possible
it gets pretty dusty and ned's obsessed
with
everything being clean and tidy which is
not my forte
at all so after every session we've
brushed down the entire board
like the back of the board and the holes
and then through the mask
one of the perks about training at home
and having training facilities in the
basement is that i can bake beforehand
and then we have freshly baked cake
after training
i made a banana bread with dates um
and okay for you mate
[Music]
sheffield the hub for climbing in the uk
it's got such a rich history for the
sport
not just because of the climbing
outdoors and the peak district but also
for training as well so having like
boards in your basement in sheffield is
pretty common actually
um so yeah there's a lot of knowledge in
the city
a lot of really psyched climbers as much
as we can drive to the peak district and
be really close by
and go climbing and be out in the hills
being right near the local park is
amazing just to have like a green space
and
you have to walk the dog every day um
who's
already gonna have to walk himself
i'm gonna go for a swim
fun i mean it's like type 2 fun
i'm covered in goosebumps
thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed
the video if you've got any questions
about my home setup leave them in the
comments below and we'll get back to you
you
