Adrian

Hi I am Adrian! I am a Bolivian sports enthusiast and psychologist who fell in love with bouldering a few years back. I have a background on BMX racing which I did at a professional level for more than 15 years, being a national champion multiple times, being on the top 3 ranking in Latin America and participating in world cups. Sports training has been part of my life ever since I can remember, and this knowledge helps me train and motivate students in a fun, effective and relaxed manner. 

Even though climbing has not been part of my life for many years, the immediate love I felt for it has pushed me beyond boundaries to improve at a very fast pace, something I am sure you can do to!! Thanks to being a beginner not so long ago, I freshly remember facing the struggles and challenges that many of you will face, which gives me the advantage to easily put myself in your climbing shoes and understand the difficulties and doubts that you might encounter. 

My passion for bouldering and teaching, as well as my knowledge of sports training and psychology will allow me to help you throughout the initial stages of your bouldering years. Together we will improve your technique, route reading and physique in a fast, creative, and most importantly in an extremely fun way! Hope to see you soon and can’t wait to meet you all!

Loren

Mijn naam is Loren en ik ben een enorme sportliefhebber. Al van jongs af aan wilde ik allerlei sporten beoefenen. Mijn interesse varieerde van turnen, mountainbiken en basketbal tot squash, voetbal, tennis en boulderen. Boulderen en golf, wat ik al vanaf mijn kindertijd beoefen, zijn mijn favoriete sporten. Naast mijn lessen breng ik daarom zoveel mogelijk tijd door in de boulderhal, waar ik geniet van het klimmen op de muur.

Ik ben afgestudeerd als sportleraar en heb drie jaar ervaring met het werken met kinderen in deze sector. Daarnaast heb ik veel snowboard- en surftrainingen gegeven, evenals af en toe privé golflessen. Lesgeven vind ik fantastisch en ik het geeft mij enorme voldoening om mensen te helpen hun doelen te bereiken!

In mijn lessen leg ik de nadruk op een gestructureerde opbouw, waarbij ik rekening houd met de individuele behoeften en vaardigheden van elke leerling. Mijn aanpak is flexibel en aangepast aan het niveau van de deelnemers. Door mijn uitgebreide kennis van diverse lesmethoden, ben ik in staat om elke les uitdagend en boeiend te maken. Mijn doel is om niet alleen de technische vaardigheden van mijn leerlingen te verbeteren, maar ook hun zelfvertrouwen en plezier in sport te vergroten. Met mijn aanpak en toewijding werk ik toe naar het beste resultaat voor elke individuele sporter.

Ik hoop jullie allemaal snel te mogen ontmoeten!

Victor

Hello! My name is Victor, and I’m from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Growing up close to nature, I was able to go on many adventures, though I didn’t discover climbing until much later in life. Instead of going up, we would go down mountains by rappelling, wearing rope we knotted into harnesses. Strangely enough, it took me moving to a mostly flat country to find my love for climbing, and I’d like to go back to my home country one day to discover the places I knew from my childhood in a new way.

When I came to Amsterdam in December 2021, a friend invited me to go bouldering with him. Because he moved countries not long after, we never did go together, but the seed was planted and in August that year, I went to Be Boulder for my first solo session. Bouldering quickly became my main workout, and in the span of one and a half years, I went from a beginner to climbing 7a. My first trip to Fontainebleau is planned, and I’m currently taking a lead climbing course - safe to say, bouldering has become a large part of my life. I have gained strength and stamina, perseverance and patience, a lot of new friends, and even a new outlook on life’s challenges. For me, figuring out a route resembles tackling problems we face daily. If you don’t top a route immediately, you try again with a different approach; using different moves, taking rests in between, or asking for advice from people around you. Not being able to top a route does not mean you’re a bad climber - quitting does.

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced climber, I look forward to meeting you! I hope to be able to help you (re)discover what you can get out of bouldering, how to improve your technique, and make your climbing experience overall more gratifying.

See you soon!
