Climbing Flexibility with the Flex Mat | Lattice Training

Climbing flexibility is a key factor in athlete performance on resin and on rock. We’ve seen first hand that task based stretching and goal setting is often more effective at increasing climbing flexibility. That’s why we’ve developed the Flex Mat: a one of a kind cork yoga mat specifically designed for climbers to assess your flexibility, target your training, and track your mobility.

Man when aiden said “😮” it really hit home

[@XLessThanZ]

This is a great video I can rewatch and follow along when doing my own flexibility exercises 👍🏽

[@nutscream]

Straight to the point. Perfect.

[@paulmason5977]

Great video. Learnt something as always. Really liked the high step strength drill. Thanks!

[@bouldersuechtig]

My set arrived today, can‘t wait to start training!

[@AusVersehen]

Nice, I like the great and simple idea to train for high steps!

[@selectmeatz]

awesome video. thanks so much for this. ive really struggled with flexibility over the past few years since ive gotten more deskbound. plan to incorporate this more into sessions

[@ScoobieDee]

Hey Guys great videos lately, this one was just what I was looking for - I think i am gonna do these excercises twice a week for three months and see how much more flexibility i get. The only one i am really poor at is the pancake exercise. The measure mat looks great too... I will start putting measurements on my old yoga mat and maybe invest in your mat after . Thanks Darren

Top Tips!

[@evatoussaint8831]

Can you please add durations and repetitons of the stretches or a follow along version?

[@clarence-theregularcat7708]

With the current state of a planet with limited resources I am not entirely on board with this new trend encouraging consumerism by selling fitness equipment that can easily be improvised.

[@LatticeTraining]

We stand with you that consumerism can have a devastating impact on the environment and we aim to be environmentally conscious here at Lattice. When we design products we aim for them to be gym grade and last a lifetime. The Flex Mat is no different. I also don't believe it could be improvised that easily because these units and measurements are linked to a free online assessment that connects climbers across the world to the same database and models.

[@FlyinPixels]

What are the units for the mat? The website says its 210cm long but that doesn't seem to match up with the numbers on the mat.

[@Psychid5]

Hey! I noticed on the web store it's cheaper to buy the blocks and mat separately than the Flex Master bundle. Looking forward to testing them!

[@LatticeTraining]

Blocks are sold as individuals so you have the option to buy odd numbers.

[@Betasprayer]

Will the mat be available in Canada? I can’t have it shipped from your store.

[@LatticeTraining]

Hi Erik! Great question... We should have them available at ClimbOn Squamish soon. We've just got them in stock in our UK warehouse so we're working to get them stocked around the globe asap ☺️

[@empatio]

It would be nice to see Aiden say a few words here and there. He seems to be only allowed a quality of flexibility but not a personality. I hoped he earns it by the end of the video, but I guess he needs to work harder for it 😃

[@WeClimb]

I love these videos and the theory, just wanted to voice my opinion, the Matt is severely over priced for what it is, it's a very very tough sell at £55 for what is a yoga Matt with ruler markings, marking my own yoga Matt makes the product seem silly at its current price point. Otherwise I love your content!!

[@LatticeTraining]

Thanks :D Great to hear you enjoy the videos! We've spent lots of time researching, developing and testing this product out to make sure that it's fit for purpose. Including being durable, extra long in length (2.1m) for measurements, portable, made from eco friendly materials and included an easy to use measuring system that can be used in conjunction with the free testing service that we've also developed specifically for this product. We think the product is unique and you are not just paying for the materials, so we strongly believe in this product and have priced it competitively. Alternatively try to persuade your local climbing gym to buy one so that you can use it there for assessment and testing, totally free!

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

@@LatticeTraining also let's not forget that buying the products means supporting all the activity and information that Lattice is giving us all for free!

[@vanessac8193]

My yoga mat was a gift (nicest mat I've ever owned, my previous mat was $10) and it costs almost $80. Conversion rate pounds to dollars says 1.23. So £55 is $67.48. If Lattice is selling a quality yoga mat, I can see how the price could get up there. And as they pointed out, the length is longer. I'm only 5ft tall and when I do the splits my feet are right at the edge of the mat. For a 6ft person or someone with different proportions, maybe a regular yoga mat doesn't cut it?

[@roastcraft9670]

Does the price include the blocks?

[@mizzle6822]

It’s a sad day when you plan on purchasing the mat to support the company and acquire a unique tool, just to see that shipping alone costs almost $100. Love the content, but idk who would willingly buy this product for almost $200 in the US. Wild. Nonetheless, appreciate the great content.

[@LatticeTraining]

As we are based in the UK, shipping costs are a lot to the US. For the best shipping rates check out PhysiVantage (a US distributor) for Lattice Products - trainingforclimbing.com/training_tools/lattice-flex-mat-yoga-stretching/ Thanks for your support!

[@Yakushii]

I like the teaching aspect of this channel, but every video now is an ad for one of your products. While it may all be good products and good routines for them, it's beginning to feel like the youtube channel for a brand, and less like the channel for a group of people. Also, the price point on this one in particular is... Strange. It's a measuring tape and wooden blocks.

[@LatticeTraining]

Our products team have been working really hard this year, to release lots of well designed, useful and unique training tools to help climbers with their training. Due to global supply chain issues, our winter product launches were all delayed, meaning we had to launch our new range is a fairly short time frame before Christmas, so we are talking a little more lately about our new products. It's important to remember despite reaching 100k subs our channel doesn't pay for itself and we need to function as a small business in order to keep providing free content, well researched education, free assessment services and continued training advice. But don't fret, as we've also got a bunch of videos planned that have nothing to do with products and next year we'll have some V17 climbers join us on the channel 😉

[@elilivezey7884]

It's a comparable price to many quality yoga mats and this has lots of extra features that can be helpful. If you feel you can get the same benefit with a measuring tape and wood blocks, then go ahead.
