At Elite Performance Climbing, we help rock climbers of all levels move better, climb stronger, and climb pain-free. Whether you're training for your next outdoor project or just getting started indoors, our personalized programs are built on the power of Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), a science-backed system that targets the root cause of weakness and injury.

Our new climbing gym in Cincinnati offers in-person MAT sessions and professional-level performance training designed specifically for climbers. Prefer training on your own time? Our revolutionary climbing training app brings custom programs straight to your phone, so you can improve mobility, stability, and strength - anytime, anywhere.

WHAT IS
MAT?

Muscle
Activation
Techniques

In short, MAT addresses the root cause of your muscle tightness, which inhibits your uncompensated mobility and performance. Muscle tightness exists in your body for only one reason: To protect your joints when muscles stop being able to communicate with the brain.

If you do flexibility modalities that manually and artificially remove that tightness without addressing the root cause of why your brain put that tightness there, you increase your risk of injury and diminish your performance.

MAT activates the muscles that weren't talking to the brain, and the brain removes the tightness it put there to protect you since it's no longer needed. With more muscles active, you are less likely to be injured, your mobility improves because you are now more stable and you see massive gains in performance now that muscles are active and able to grow.

At EPC, we don’t just train to train; we train with purpose. Rooted in science, fueled by community, and driven by real results, we’re here to help you stop hurting, move better, and climb stronger, every step of the way.
