🧗‍♂️ Herkulis Training Team

“We don’t just train—we grow together.”

Elite youth climbing team built on passion, innovation, and community.

Herkulis athletes regularly achieve top placements in youth climbing competitions across Switzerland—excelling in lead climbing, bouldering, and speed. Many team members have been climbing since they could walk, growing up on the wall with a natural connection to movement and adventure. This lifelong familiarity with climbing is a key foundation for both their skills and mindset.

Training Philosophy:

• Founded by Alexandra Eyer in 2019
• Closed high-performance training group for competition-driven climbers
• Several team members are part of the Swiss national climbing team and consistently climb routes at the 8a level or higher

Emphasis on:

• Technical precision and intelligent movement
• Creative problem-solving under pressure
• Connection to nature, community, and team spirit

The goal of Herkulis is not just to train high-performing athletes for short-term success, but to develop climbers for life. It’s about creating a space where passion is nurtured, growth is supported, and a long-lasting connection to the sport is built. Herkulis is where motivation, identity, and belonging come together—on and off the wall.

Team Culture & Additional Activities:

• Rock climbing regularly included to enhance footwork and mental resilience
• Alexandra trains alongside the team, offering hands-on support and role modeling
• Individual goal-setting and regular progress reviews
• Open communication with parents or guardians through periodic meetings
• Focus on injury prevention and long-term development, especially during adolescent growth phases when joints, muscles, and ligaments are still forming
• Full support during potential injuries, including early recognition, training adaptations, professional referrals if needed, and step-by-step return-to-climb guidance. We recognize that young athletes may push themselves too far despite guidance—so we stay attentive and responsive to their changing physical needs
• Small training subgroups by day, each with different emphases: power, endurance, mental strength
• Mixed-experience training: seasoned athletes mentor younger ones to build confidence and unity
• Trainings take place in multiple climbing gyms across the Canton of Zurich and other commutable locations
• Team attends multi-day indoor and outdoor climbing workshops to expand technical skills, independence, and team bonding
• Strength and conditioning sessions are supervised by a qualified physiotherapist to ensure safe, progressive athletic development

External Support & Sponsorships:

• Herkulis is proud to collaborate with trusted partners who believe in empowering the next generation of climbers
• Athletes benefit from climbing shoe sponsorships, discounted entries to climbing gyms, and access to additional training resources
• These partnerships reduce financial pressure and allow our focus to remain on sustainable athletic progress and long-term motivation

Important: This is a closed team. Participation is by invitation or selection only. Entry is based on commitment, team fit, and long-term development potential—not just competition results.

🧗 Herkulis Mini

“Every great climber starts with one joyful step off the ground.”

Herkulis Mini offers children a playful and meaningful introduction to the world of climbing—where movement meets curiosity and courage is celebrated.

Growing with curiosity and movement:

• Welcoming children who are new to climbing, no experience required—just a sense of adventure
• Encouraging a love for movement in a safe, supportive, and joy-filled environment
• Helping young climbers develop confidence, creativity, and body awareness through playful exploration
• Sessions are designed to feel like a game—where learning happens naturally through movement, laughter, and connection

What children begin to discover:

• Fundamental climbing skills such as footwork and coordination
• Safe climbing practices, including belaying and an introduction to lead climbing—always guided with care
• The value of teamwork, communication, and mutual trust
• How to approach challenges with problem-solving and joy—not pressure

A culture of mentorship and belonging:

Herkulis Mini isn’t just a starting point—it’s part of a larger, caring climbing family. At many training sessions, older athletes from the main Herkulis team are present, offering support, encouragement, and playful guidance. These informal moments of mentorship help younger climbers feel seen, inspired, and included.

At local competitions, this connection continues. The older athletes often stand by the younger ones, helping with preparation and cheering them on. It’s a culture of shared growth—where every climber knows they belong.

All sessions are personally led by Alexandra Eyer, whose experience, care, and intuition shape a learning space that’s both inspiring and grounded in safety. Her continuous presence ensures that each child receives thoughtful attention, steady encouragement, and a foundation they can trust as they grow.
