Janja is a huge inspiration of mine. Beyond the one arm pull ups 🤯 and out-of-this-world functionality, she's been so huge for women in the world of rock climbing showing us that anything is possible if you believe in yourself! She was also v graceful about me falling off the wall and embarrassing myself 😂 I hope you'll show her a lot of love!
I have been waiting for this video!! I first started doing your programs around 4 years ago, and got into climbing around the same time. I'm currently doing Move.2022 and I find that a lot of the exercises are beneficial for climbing as well! Anyway, for ages I've been thinking, "I think Natacha would really like bouldering, with the way she is able to control her movement and such, I'd love for her to try and make a video about it," so I'm absolutely stoked about this one! 😁😍
I have wanted to see Natacha climb since I started following you years ago... did not expect your first climbing video to be with Janja! This is amazing and I hope you keep climbing Natacha.
This is the most in-depth look into Janja's training I've ever seen. I can't state enough how the climbing world is completely mystified by this woman. This is beyond cool 😍
haha I am so happy to hear it! There's so much rich insight to pick up from athletes and coaches at this level that doesn't make it's way out, it's so fulfilling when they're cool with us sharing a little glimpse!
Exactly - it's the most incredible insight into her training out there and a true inspiration even for seasoned climbers. I've had to forward to all my friends.
Janja is a generational talent not just in climbing, but in sports in general. Her level of dominance in competitions is akin to a Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt. I wish her achievements received the same level of media attention those names did! She certainly deserves it.
I think once she wins the Paris Olympics (when, not if, definitely hahaha) she'll get a lot more mainstream media attention. Climbing is just still a somewhat niche sport, but getting to the Olympics has been a huge step in terms of international recognition and hopefully funding as well. Janja is the undisputed GOAT for sure, I remember seeing a "Legends Only" competition with her, in 2017 I think, where she cruised through all the boulders that these 4 other amazing female climbers couldn't do. She topped all 4-5 boulders whereas second place (the incredible Shauna Coxsey) only managed 2 or 3 tops. She was 16 years old then and I had never heard of her before. That was only the beginning of her ridiculous dominance and winning everything ahaha. Such a graceful climber too, it's not just pure power, she is incredibly coordinated (on the wall at least, I've heard she tends to trip a lot in real life XD) and can read routes super well, that's why she often climbs semi-final and final boulders on her first try.
@@millacabral9475 The number of women interested in climbing seems to have already gotten a big boost after Tokyo, at least that's my impression just going by the number of women I see at the gym I go to regularly. The number of people has increased a lot in general, but seeing a lot more women and young girls. I hear Janja being mentioned as an inspiration a lot. I mean, I have been climbing for like fifteen years now, only as a hobby, and even I was inspired to do more and get better by this incredible athlete.
aw wow thank you so much! life has taught me that success lives on the other side of throwing yourself into things fully, and it definitely helps to have an incredible support system like these guys were! 🥺
I've been bouldering for about 7 or 8 months now, and honestly, everyone in this sport is super supportive. I can be on the wall by myself, and random people, who might see I'm struggling, will cheer me on, or give out tips. I've had impromptu training sessions with higher level climbers, just because I talked to them a bit, and they offered to show me some moves or whatever. It's such an ego less sport, it's very refreshing!
@@denniswijker7162 that's the dream (: I'm so happy for you and can only agree - I haven't climbed much at all but the time I spent at the climbing centre getting lessons, I noticed so many new friendships forming and got into so many conversations with new people. what you're describing definitely sounds right, thank you for sharing it!
As a Slovene I can comfortably say that every time she climbs in a big event, the whole country is glued to the screen in amazement! So nice that you did an interview with her. For anyone interested in finding out more about Janja, there is a really good documentary from 2022, The Wall: Climb for Gold.
i watched this video not knowing who Janja Garnbret was, and I figured phrases like “the greatest competitor this sport has ever seen” were a bit of a polite exaggeration out of gratitude for the access … then i fell down a two week rabbit hole of women’s bouldering and climbing and if anything it’s an understatement. holy sh*t she’s good
It's no wonder she's so dominant. She loves what she does, her personal training is kept interesting and fun, and her trainers are genuinely kind and supportive people. You couple that with an athlete with intelligence, grit and determination and you inevitably get a top athlete. I really enjoyed the genuine mutual support between you two. I don't think I've seen so much positivity in a training vid as this. Those were tight hugs lol So much joy being displayed.
I had the biggest smile on my face the whole video - the joy you both emanated was just amazing. And I full-on cried when you got that last red. Thank you
Same :D. When, on mainstream media, you get fed incompetent wannabe famous first ppl and so much polarizing topics filled with hidden agendas and ppl knowingly misleading and using other ppl only for their own personal gain, which makes me pessimistic for mankind, videos like these with super passionate, very competent ppl with inspiring attitudes/mindsets, doing incredible things and having fun, it's like an antidote and gives me hope, energy and much joy. Thanks, imho videos like these have a significant positive impact and help make the world a better place!
The chemistry here is unmatched. I've been climbing for year and have watch Janja hit and dominate at the world stage, and the thing I've come to appreciate most about her is her attitude. She loves the sport and doesn't let anything get in the way, and these training sessions show that. The collab we didn't know we needed, but now can't live without 😂
You just can't help but love Janja as a competitor and top athlete having so much joy and fun and helping someone she barely know learn to climb better! Makes me just want to root for her success even more.
I still remember seeing requests for this collab a few months ago. I have been DYING for this since and couldn’t believe when I saw this on my homepage! Never clicked so fast!!! The two GOATs in one video 🐐 Janja to me is, both physically and mentally, not only the best climber, but possibly also one of the best athletes of all time. Thanks so much for this Natacha 😍😍
Hahah ah you noticed them! A lot of people were asking to see Janja! This girl is like an international superstar so you guys have very refined taste 👌👌😂 I fully agree with what you said: she still has years ahead of her but it’s only right to think of her amongst the best athletes in any sport!
The climbing community is the most welcoming, supportive space, no matter what level you're at! This video was a joy to watch ♥ thank you for highlighting different sports and celebrating strong women!
totally agree. I have tried my fair share of sports and this one's in the lead for me as the most supportive and inviting. Everyone is competing with the wall and challenging themselves to solve problems, rather than with each other and that creates this amazing environment
Ugh this was incredible. Natacha, you’re so strong! Like, Janja and Roman were genuinely so impressed with you! I really think you would excel at climbing, because, like Janja said, you TRY HARD and that’s what it’s all about (and having fun!!)
Janja is sooo warm and friendly, I was SO HAPPY to see you both in one video! You should make a follow up hahaha, me wishing my hardest! You killed it for only your 2/3rd session Natacha. The climbing community is such a wonderfully positive space, I love to see it. :)
I rarely comment but this video just radiates so much joy!! It's so nice to see the optimistic way you approach new challenges! Also, the editing and the music was just great! 🤩
thank you so much for making an exception, it really means a lot 🤍 that's such a sweet one too. I hope you throw yourself into new challenges with a smile, I know it'll bring so many great things!
This is the BEST THING! Janja is so next level it's hard to put into words, and still so full of kindness and genuine love for climbing. She's so fun, and the two of you had such great energy! ...Natacha you should try roped climbing too! Whaddaya say?
I had a smile for 25:59 minutes long! Thanks so much for this amazing collaboration!! And Janja is next to an extraordinary climber also such a warm and lovely person!
Janja is just straight up the Queen of climbing, such a generational talent. I have seen her do so many things that just don't seem like they should be possible, its just crazy what she can do.
Watching Janja climb is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. She makes it look so easy but there is an insane amount of work and dedication behind it.
To say I’m emotional is an understatement!! I had a climbing accident where I tore my ACL, and I’ve been rehabbing that for the last year. Natacha, you have become an endless source of inspiration for me through this journey back to my body. To see you collab with Janja (my greatest climbing inspiration!!!) is AMAZING! One day I will get back on the wall and I will imagine you two cheering me on! ❤️
Hello, fellow ACL patient here. Keep up with your physio! You will get there 😊 I had an ACL revision 1.5 years ago and I am back on the wall - doctors and physios never believed that was possible. This video is everything! Two amazing women I owe so much to. Natasha made me enjoy strength training which made my physio bearable (I am forever grateful!). And Janya is just the greatest 😊 The two of them cracking jokes and training together is such a joy to watch ❤
Didn't know Natasha until 10 min ago and I am super impressed - she is so wholesome and radiant! It's like a beam of warm sunlight hitting me after a long winter. Janja and Natasha have in common that both seem to be great in what they do and have no need to be boasting - both are so down to earth!
This was such a joy to watch. The vibes from EVERYONE were immaculate. Janja and Roman are such beautiful humans, and Natacha you just fit so effortlessly into the mix! To me, Janja isn't just the pinnacle of climbing, she's the pinnacle of sportsmanship. A gracious, hardworking leader who sets the atmosphere so that everyone around her wants to be better. Just fantastic. I was a Janja fan before watching this video, and now I am a Natacha fan too!
This is how training should be done! Make it challenging, engaging, and repeatable! I'd love to see facilities and programs like these become more accessible for more people.
WOW!! I don't have the words. Tbh I know nothing of climbing or the Olympics ,so I had not heard of Janja. She is STUPENDOUS! Mind blowing skills,endurance and strength. Plus so warm friendly & supportive. It is like you two were already friends. And Natacha you are just such an incredible person and amazing athlete. I am just so grateful you are part of our world:) Congrats to you for an AMAZING climbing/training day.
I want a serie with 7 seasons et 20 episodes each of Janja teaching Natacha, one of my all time favorite video of yours !! you are both IMPRESSIVE 😍 love from France 🥰
What I love sooo much about these types of videos is seeing how much Natacha respects the professional and how- due to your incredible attitude, strength and joy - they always seem to reciprocate it to her. ❤ You did amazing yourself here!!! So in awe with the both of you.
This is the video I didn't know I wanted. Such a vibe! Especially when Natacha finished the red boulder route in the end and Janja celebrating like a proud coach. This is what climbing is all about and that's why I love it. Well done, Natacha, on bouldering so well. I have never seen anybody climb this good on their third (first) bouldering session!
This was the best, most fun, most inspiring video I’ve seen in ages. The sheer skill, effort and camaraderie between the two of you was gorgeous to watch. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! 🪨🤘😅❤
I could cry right now 🥹 janja is my absolutely favorite rock climber. My jaw absolutely drops whenever I see her compete. She never ceases to surprise me. I love seeing you together. Keep up the hard work!! You guys are inspirational!! 🖤
Two of my biggest inspirations doing a collab.. this video was amazing. Natacha you did so well considering you don't climb often. Just shows how your functional and holistic training style is making you such a versatile athlete ❤️👏🏻
The collab I didn't know I needed!! This made me so happy! I'm a climber and a huge fan of both Natacha and Janja. I watch all the IFSC climbing comps. I also do Natacha's workout programs on my non-climbing days, and it's been a difference maker in my climbing!
I love this video so much!! Janja is absolutely insane. She is one of a kind and I love how much appreciation she gets from the climbing community. The community is so supportive so women and man equally it’s always a blessing seeing videos like these. Janja is just out of this world. And everyone knows and thinks that. It’s so incredible to see that she’s a supportive and lovely human as well. Thank you so much for this video Natacha! I hope you guys found a friendship in each other! (And as a climber myself: you NAILED IT Natacha!)
Please do more videos like these! It was so nice to see you so happy. While watching you try to run your ultramarathon, you seem so stressed so down and so hard on yourself. I admire hard goals however, fitness should stay fun and this video goes to show how much fun you really are having and will motivate other people to tackle challenges and get moving.
Omg this video was pure joy!!! I love climbing, I was already obsessed with Janja's accomplishments in this sport but it is always so nice to see when an athlete is chilled, cool, and just a really kind human being in general. ❤️ Loved the friendly vibe between you and Janja, and also loved how her whole team was nice and supportive!
I discovered this channel because Janja popped in my feed, such great energy between you two, that was a great video with lot of useful information. Janja strength is out of this world
Thank-you so much to both of you for doing this collab. I went bouldering a few times last summer at an outdoor wall and I absolutely loved it. The little boy I used to look after started climbing when he was 3. He's six now and he inspires me so much! I've been thinking about getting into some classes over the winter and I'm for sure going to do it now. As someone in recovery from a severe restrictive eating disorder I remember how empowered I felt climbing and reaching those holds, how strong I felt ... and yes, that attitude of just "I love climbing" is contagious!
I rarely comment but I have to say this turned my whole day around, I have a bad chest infection, feeling very low. It popped up on Instagram and I rushed onto TH-cam, I’ve been following and and inspired by you Natacha for years. You helped me so much with overcoming eating disorder and disordered exercising, I love climbing and always hoped you would one day try it. I knew you’d be great at it! It would be fantastic to see you try outdoor climbing or sport climbing! Thank you so much.
Janja is the best on the wall and off the wall! What a huge inspiration. People like her are half of why I love climbing so much! The really good people are always so nice to the people who are still learning!
You’re completely right. I’m so happy the sport has such incredible role models, it’s touching to see how it inspires people. So happy you have found what you love!
This was an unreal video, one of your best. I really enjoyed it and didn’t realize how technical the sport could be. I honestly didn’t even know there were competitions, so I’m now only looking to watch climbing as a sport now. She’s unreal, you’re unreal. *runs off to the climbing gym*
So excited to watch! Something I’d love to see and be so thankful for is a video collabing with someone who excels in their movement but for who fitness and exercise wasn’t always part of their life. Sort of like showcasing a “career changer,” someone who either didn’t grow up with much physical fitness in their community or social landscape but who discovered it and got immersed.
I thought about your channel literally two hours ago and the next time I open TH-cam you really did upload something. This made my day! I love that you give a variety of strong beautiful female athletes a platform with your channel. ❤
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen when it comes to climbing and even fitness in general, such a lovely supportive session and so cool to see how Janja trains!!
Best video i have ever seen in my whole life❤janja is such a such a kind and humble person🎉so good to see you both enjoying this time❤you actually look as if you would have known each other for your whole lifes❤love this happiness for climbing. Hopefully we get to see you again soon collaborating together, the best team ever❤
WWWWOOOWWW !! That is absolutely some of the most impressive athleticism I have ever seen. Watching her just scramble up those climbs so explosively whilst making it look like the most natural thing in the world to be doing …. I dunno, maybe it’s because I have deplorable upper body strength that it makes me feel breathless just watching her. Watching you take on these challenges reinforces how efficacious your own approach to training is. We have yet to see one of these challenges/training sessions where you are, like, totally out of your depth. You’re so well rounded and functionally strong and agile. So fun to watch the two of you. Clearly kindred spirits 😊. Well done!!! Also, the quality of the production of the video …. *chef’s kiss*
So nice to watch it! Janja is Janja-why we love climbing even more ❤ impressed. And Natacha - wow! Very good job, You are so strong! Somebody wrote already - non climber made the best climb training video. Very good job both of Girls!
Natacha you are back!! 😍😍😍 Your videos are always so inspiring! I have missed you!! Luckily I have been entertaining myself with your hybrid program! So nice! Still struggling with running but I hope to get better soon ❤❤❤❤
This was a fun video to watch. Glad to see janja just having fun, she's so humble and accomodating and never let her achievements get to her head. Her trainer and coach were fun too. Good job to Natacha in showing this other side of Janja.
This was such a great video, I was so excited when I saw the title! I've been watching Janja win in the climbing World Cups for years. It was so nice to see her in a more informal setting like this. It's always fun to see Natacha trying out new sports too!
As a die hard climber and big natacha fan for years I've been patiently hoping for a climbing video from you. One can only imagine my utter surprise and excitement when i saw this video pop up. Not only do we finally get a climbing video, but its a collab with THE JANJA GODDAMN QUEEN GARNBRET!?!?? Words cannot express just how freaking hyped i am!!! I haven't seen janja on youtube much and yet here we are. The most inspiring female climber appearing in a video with my favourite fitness youtuber? I was feeling down after getting a bad news but this made my whole week thank you so much! And I've been watching you for a while, i *know* how much of a beast you are. But i still couldnt pick up my jaw from the floor seeing the boulders you did despite being a newbie. It's inspiring on a level you cannot comprehend i swear. I wish you the best!
Literally two of my favorite people. Janja is brilliant and I’m just in awe when she climbs. She’s the reason I started climbing. Fantastic video 🎉truly warms my heart 🤍
This video had me smiling the whole way through! This is what sports is about. Supporting each other, learning from each other and just finding ways to have fun.
Such an amazing video!! I actually cried when you reached the top of that red route, it’s so cool to watch you progress that quickly. Love the female empowerment, so inspiring!
Wow, you were in my country and even trained with our national pride!!! 😍You're truly amazing, Natacha!! I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest and had a pleasant experience. Janja is a real superstar and excels in everything she does. She's a true role model for many young people in Slovenia and has brought the sport of climbing into the spotlight🤙
Janja is truly astonishing! She has incredible strength, coordination, endurance and flexibility. But she also manages to keep up her chipper attitude which is in perfect harmony with utter determination. So awesome to watch her train and compete. I was so surprised to see her lose gold to Oriane in 2023, although winning silver can’t really be considered losing.
I surprised myself by becoming VERY tearful after you finished the red route, and the coach commented on your focus!! What a beautiful, encouraging team!!
This made me so happy. Janja is amazing, and you did so well for someone who doesn’t climb! Love how encouraging everyone is. Thanks for highlighting the sport!
Hahah couldn’t agree with you more. I should have filmed fully how many she did. She literally hit them as if they were a regular exercise, reps on reps on reps 😂
Janja is rare in how an athlete can dominate. I am not particularly drawn to climbing but do love see her doing it. The grace and power it takes is amazing.
When 2 of the most likeable, wholesome people combine in a video 👌 Janja is an absolute diamond. So humble, encouraging and funny as well as being a generational talent. This collab was epic 👌
Janja is a huge inspiration of mine. Beyond the one arm pull ups 🤯 and out-of-this-world functionality, she's been so huge for women in the world of rock climbing showing us that anything is possible if you believe in yourself!

Has she ever done any "Ninja Warrior" competitions? Seems like a no-brainer but I guess she's already super busy so maybe not? :)

Natacha and Janja? The collab we didn’t know we needed.
100%
My two favorite worlds collided 😍🔥❤️
Exactly what I was thinking
I LOVE JANJA did not expect this crossover at all but love it!

I LOVE how supportive Janja and her team are!!! Makes it a hundred times more fun trying something new. And you were AMAZING 🧡
Totally, couldn’t agree more. They encouraged and built me up constantly and it’s amazing what that does for you. It takes a team to build a GOAT!

Same, and when I watched deep into 2018-2016, imagine my jaw drop more with each comp
yup, true.
Dude, she's much more dominant than guys like Megos or even ondra ever were in the men's division
She's beyond good. Many guys say she can 100% compete in all the mens competitions and do really well. She's in the top 1% of the 1%
Please continue doing videos like this. Truly it shows how incredible female athletes are and it’s amazing to see!! ❤
That really really makes me so happy to read. That’s been such an important thing to show for me. Female athletes are incredible!
I would love to see one with cross country skier Jessie Diggins!
@@elemk thank you for letting me know!
Yes totally agree! Seeing female athletes train in such detail is super interesting, fun and inspiring!
Absolutely agree
It's no wonder she's so dominant. She loves what she does, her personal training is kept interesting and fun, and her trainers are genuinely kind and supportive people. You couple that with an athlete with intelligence, grit and determination and you inevitably get a top athlete.

Omg Janja !!! As a Slovenian myself, I'm so excited to watch this video !!
She's an icon. I love how much the whole country adores her!
Natacha and Janja fangirling over each other healed something in me I didn't know was broken
Ugh this was incredible. Natacha, you’re so strong! Like, Janja and Roman were genuinely so impressed with you! I really think you would excel at climbing, because, like Janja said, you TRY HARD and that’s what it’s all about (and having fun!!)
The scream of joy that I let out when I saw you uploaded!! So happy to see you back Natacha!
Hey my friend!!! I’m forever grateful, I hope you had so much fun with us 👯♀️👯♀️
Janja is sooo warm and friendly, I was SO HAPPY to see you both in one video! You should make a follow up hahaha, me wishing my hardest! You killed it for only your 2/3rd session Natacha. The climbing community is such a wonderfully positive space, I love to see it. :)
A non climber just made one of the best climbing videos. That was so wholesome and funny. loved it
Shes not only the goat comp climber, she has to be one of the top athletes in all of history, shes so ahead of everyone else
Why?
I rarely comment but this video just radiates so much joy!! It's so nice to see the optimistic way you approach new challenges! Also, the editing and the music was just great! 🤩
thank you so much for making an exception, it really means a lot 🤍 that's such a sweet one too. I hope you throw yourself into new challenges with a smile, I know it'll bring so many great things!
Shut the front door, our GOAT Janja! x proud Slovenian over here😍 also you were in Slovenia?!? I hope you enjoyed your time here
This is the BEST THING! Janja is so next level it's hard to put into words, and still so full of kindness and genuine love for climbing. She's so fun, and the two of you had such great energy!
...Natacha you should try roped climbing too! Whaddaya say?
I had a smile for 25:59 minutes long! Thanks so much for this amazing collaboration!! And Janja is next to an extraordinary climber also such a warm and lovely person!
Janja is just straight up the Queen of climbing, such a generational talent. I have seen her do so many things that just don't seem like they should be possible, its just crazy what she can do.
Watching Janja climb is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. She makes it look so easy but there is an insane amount of work and dedication behind it.
To say I’m emotional is an understatement!! I had a climbing accident where I tore my ACL, and I’ve been rehabbing that for the last year. Natacha, you have become an endless source of inspiration for me through this journey back to my body. To see you collab with Janja (my greatest climbing inspiration!!!) is AMAZING! One day I will get back on the wall and I will imagine you two cheering me on! ❤️
Hello, fellow ACL patient here. Keep up with your physio! You will get there 😊 I had an ACL revision 1.5 years ago and I am back on the wall - doctors and physios never believed that was possible. This video is everything! Two amazing women I owe so much to. Natasha made me enjoy strength training which made my physio bearable (I am forever grateful!). And Janya is just the greatest 😊 The two of them cracking jokes and training together is such a joy to watch ❤
Fellow ACL patient, almost two years ago and rocking the bouldering wall better than ever. Keep up the rehab and you ll be back soon!
Damn! That's like the video with the most details on Janja's training actually, that's crazy! And great vibes as well, good job on the video!
Didn't know Natasha until 10 min ago and I am super impressed - she is so wholesome and radiant! It's like a beam of warm sunlight hitting me after a long winter. Janja and Natasha have in common that both seem to be great in what they do and have no need to be boasting - both are so down to earth!
OMG love this format - you highlighting strong women. And working out with them!! Love it. So inspiring. ❤
This was such a joy to watch. The vibes from EVERYONE were immaculate. Janja and Roman are such beautiful humans, and Natacha you just fit so effortlessly into the mix! To me, Janja isn't just the pinnacle of climbing, she's the pinnacle of sportsmanship. A gracious, hardworking leader who sets the atmosphere so that everyone around her wants to be better. Just fantastic. I was a Janja fan before watching this video, and now I am a Natacha fan too!
I had to look at the thumbnail twice, get glasses, and look again, to believe this collab just happened 😄 Love from Slovenia ❤
This is how training should be done! Make it challenging, engaging, and repeatable! I'd love to see facilities and programs like these become more accessible for more people.
WOW!! I don't have the words. Tbh I know nothing of climbing or the Olympics ,so I had not heard of Janja. She is STUPENDOUS! Mind blowing skills,endurance and strength. Plus so warm friendly & supportive. It is like you two were already friends. And Natacha you are just such an incredible person and amazing athlete. I am just so grateful you are part of our world:) Congrats to you for an AMAZING climbing/training day.
Late to this party but OH MY WORD, what a great party it is. Such a brilliant collaboration and you're a natural climber Natacha. ❣
I want a serie with 7 seasons et 20 episodes each of Janja teaching Natacha, one of my all time favorite video of yours !! you are both IMPRESSIVE 😍 love from France 🥰
It's so beautiful to see two amazing women uplifting and encouraging each other, your videos always radiate such positivity 🥰
She won her 2 gold medal today in Paris, first was in Tokio!!!! (GOAT) 🥇🥇🏆
What I love sooo much about these types of videos is seeing how much Natacha respects the professional and how- due to your incredible attitude, strength and joy - they always seem to reciprocate it to her. ❤ You did amazing yourself here!!! So in awe with the both of you.
This is the video I didn't know I wanted. Such a vibe! Especially when Natacha finished the red boulder route in the end and Janja celebrating like a proud coach. This is what climbing is all about and that's why I love it.
Well done, Natacha, on bouldering so well. I have never seen anybody climb this good on their third (first) bouldering session!
This was the best, most fun, most inspiring video I’ve seen in ages. The sheer skill, effort and camaraderie between the two of you was gorgeous to watch. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! 🪨🤘😅❤
I could cry right now 🥹 janja is my absolutely favorite rock climber. My jaw absolutely drops whenever I see her compete. She never ceases to surprise me. I love seeing you together. Keep up the hard work!! You guys are inspirational!! 🖤
Two of my biggest inspirations doing a collab.. this video was amazing. Natacha you did so well considering you don't climb often. Just shows how your functional and holistic training style is making you such a versatile athlete ❤️👏🏻
The collab I didn't know I needed!! This made me so happy! I'm a climber and a huge fan of both Natacha and Janja. I watch all the IFSC climbing comps. I also do Natacha's workout programs on my non-climbing days, and it's been a difference maker in my climbing!
You are such a great host! Lots of humor, support and modesty, it was a true pleasure to watch. Thank you for keeping your standards high!
Oooooh I didn't know I needed this collaboration. Janja is awesome!
She really really is 👏👏👏👏
I love this video so much!!
Janja is absolutely insane. She is one of a kind and I love how much appreciation she gets from the climbing community. The community is so supportive so women and man equally it’s always a blessing seeing videos like these.
Janja is just out of this world. And everyone knows and thinks that. It’s so incredible to see that she’s a supportive and lovely human as well.
Thank you so much for this video Natacha! I hope you guys found a friendship in each other!
(And as a climber myself: you NAILED IT Natacha!)
Please do more videos like these! It was so nice to see you so happy. While watching you try to run your ultramarathon, you seem so stressed so down and so hard on yourself. I admire hard goals however, fitness should stay fun and this video goes to show how much fun you really are having and will motivate other people to tackle challenges and get moving.
Omg this video was pure joy!!! I love climbing, I was already obsessed with Janja's accomplishments in this sport but it is always so nice to see when an athlete is chilled, cool, and just a really kind human being in general. ❤️ Loved the friendly vibe between you and Janja, and also loved how her whole team was nice and supportive!
Wow this was so inspiring 😍 thank you so much for this video. I think it’s amazing how motivating ja ja and her team are.
I discovered this channel because Janja popped in my feed, such great energy between you two, that was a great video with lot of useful information. Janja strength is out of this world
EXCELLENT content, I’m so informed and inspired every time I check out this channel!
Loved this, Janja truly is such a testament to the sport, and an incredible human. Loved seeing the support from her team as well.
Thank-you so much to both of you for doing this collab. I went bouldering a few times last summer at an outdoor wall and I absolutely loved it. The little boy I used to look after started climbing when he was 3. He's six now and he inspires me so much! I've been thinking about getting into some classes over the winter and I'm for sure going to do it now. As someone in recovery from a severe restrictive eating disorder I remember how empowered I felt climbing and reaching those holds, how strong I felt ... and yes, that attitude of just "I love climbing" is contagious!
I rarely comment but I have to say this turned my whole day around, I have a bad chest infection, feeling very low. It popped up on Instagram and I rushed onto TH-cam, I’ve been following and and inspired by you Natacha for years. You helped me so much with overcoming eating disorder and disordered exercising, I love climbing and always hoped you would one day try it. I knew you’d be great at it! It would be fantastic to see you try outdoor climbing or sport climbing! Thank you so much.
Janja is the best on the wall and off the wall! What a huge inspiration. People like her are half of why I love climbing so much! The really good people are always so nice to the people who are still learning!
You’re completely right. I’m so happy the sport has such incredible role models, it’s touching to see how it inspires people. So happy you have found what you love!
This was an unreal video, one of your best. I really enjoyed it and didn’t realize how technical the sport could be. I honestly didn’t even know there were competitions, so I’m now only looking to watch climbing as a sport now. She’s unreal, you’re unreal. *runs off to the climbing gym*
this video made me love janja even more omg not only is she the goat but she is literally so nice and supportive throughout this whole video
So happy to see you back Natacha 😍😍😍
Love strong women being unbeatable 🔥🔥Thank you for inspiring us ♥️
So excited to watch!
Something I’d love to see and be so thankful for is a video collabing with someone who excels in their movement but for who fitness and exercise wasn’t always part of their life. Sort of like showcasing a “career changer,” someone who either didn’t grow up with much physical fitness in their community or social landscape but who discovered it and got immersed.
I thought about your channel literally two hours ago and the next time I open TH-cam you really did upload something. This made my day! I love that you give a variety of strong beautiful female athletes a platform with your channel. ❤
I just love how everyone was so encouraging! You can see that the climbing community is genuinely so kind!
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen when it comes to climbing and even fitness in general, such a lovely supportive session and so cool to see how Janja trains!!
Best video i have ever seen in my whole life❤janja is such a such a kind and humble person🎉so good to see you both enjoying this time❤you actually look as if you would have known each other for your whole lifes❤love this happiness for climbing. Hopefully we get to see you again soon collaborating together, the best team ever❤
WWWWOOOWWW !! That is absolutely some of the most impressive athleticism I have ever seen. Watching her just scramble up those climbs so explosively whilst making it look like the most natural thing in the world to be doing …. I dunno, maybe it’s because I have deplorable upper body strength that it makes me feel breathless just watching her. Watching you take on these challenges reinforces how efficacious your own approach to training is. We have yet to see one of these challenges/training sessions where you are, like, totally out of your depth. You’re so well rounded and functionally strong and agile. So fun to watch the two of you. Clearly kindred spirits 😊. Well done!!! Also, the quality of the production of the video …. *chef’s kiss*
So nice to watch it! Janja is Janja-why we love climbing even more ❤ impressed. And Natacha - wow! Very good job, You are so strong! Somebody wrote already - non climber made the best climb training video. Very good job both of Girls!
Natacha you are back!! 😍😍😍 Your videos are always so inspiring! I have missed you!! Luckily I have been entertaining myself with your hybrid program! So nice! Still struggling with running but I hope to get better soon ❤❤❤❤
This was a fun video to watch. Glad to see janja just having fun, she's so humble and accomodating and never let her achievements get to her head. Her trainer and coach were fun too. Good job to Natacha in showing this other side of Janja.
This was such a great video, I was so excited when I saw the title! I've been watching Janja win in the climbing World Cups for years. It was so nice to see her in a more informal setting like this. It's always fun to see Natacha trying out new sports too!
As a die hard climber and big natacha fan for years I've been patiently hoping for a climbing video from you. One can only imagine my utter surprise and excitement when i saw this video pop up. Not only do we finally get a climbing video, but its a collab with THE JANJA GODDAMN QUEEN GARNBRET!?!??
Words cannot express just how freaking hyped i am!!! I haven't seen janja on youtube much and yet here we are. The most inspiring female climber appearing in a video with my favourite fitness youtuber? I was feeling down after getting a bad news but this made my whole week thank you so much!
And I've been watching you for a while, i *know* how much of a beast you are. But i still couldnt pick up my jaw from the floor seeing the boulders you did despite being a newbie. It's inspiring on a level you cannot comprehend i swear. I wish you the best!
Literally two of my favorite people. Janja is brilliant and I’m just in awe when she climbs. She’s the reason I started climbing. Fantastic video 🎉truly warms my heart 🤍
Outstanding! What a fabulous video. Who knew it was possible to love Janja any more! And the vibe you and she generated was fantastic
This is so completely brilliant. Love Janja and her team! Thank you for showing us behind the scenes!
This was so inspiring and so much fun to watch! Thank you for this awesome video!
To see the GOAT 👸🏼 from the country you live in and your favourite person to follow collab. My evening is made! This was great 💕🥺
This video had me smiling the whole way through! This is what sports is about. Supporting each other, learning from each other and just finding ways to have fun.
One of my favorite videos of yours ever, I think!! Love the visible joy you both have. I think I smiled the whole way through. 😊
I love this video, had not heard of you before but as a climbing fan this was such a treat! Thank you for bringing us this video!
As a Slovenian and as a climber I can only say - this is special❤
Such an amazing video!! I actually cried when you reached the top of that red route, it’s so cool to watch you progress that quickly. Love the female empowerment, so inspiring!
Wow! Two strong humble women I admire, love this collab. 🎉❤
Brilliant Video!!! Janja is amazing and the whole team is so kind and supportive
I love everything about this video! Great vibes and strong women! Love her quote „If I have fun, results will follow“ ❤
Wow, you were in my country and even trained with our national pride!!! 😍You're truly amazing, Natacha!! I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest and had a pleasant experience. Janja is a real superstar and excels in everything she does. She's a true role model for many young people in Slovenia and has brought the sport of climbing into the spotlight🤙
Janja is truly astonishing! She has incredible strength, coordination, endurance and flexibility. But she also manages to keep up her chipper attitude which is in perfect harmony with utter determination. So awesome to watch her train and compete. I was so surprised to see her lose gold to Oriane in 2023, although winning silver can’t really be considered losing.
Janja seems so lovely and this was so cool to watch. I had a smile on my face the entire time.
I surprised myself by becoming VERY tearful after you finished the red route, and the coach commented on your focus!! What a beautiful, encouraging team!!
This made me so happy. Janja is amazing, and you did so well for someone who doesn’t climb! Love how encouraging everyone is.
Thanks for highlighting the sport!
Came onto youtube over lunch to watch one of your older videos, so happy to see a new one 🥺 love seeing the gamification of training for climbers!
This was so great to watch. I was smiling the whole time! Great sisterhood!
Can't describe how impressed I am with someone who is 164cm tall and does 1-5-9. Insane.
Hahah couldn’t agree with you more. I should have filmed fully how many she did. She literally hit them as if they were a regular exercise, reps on reps on reps 😂
Janja is rare in how an athlete can dominate. I am not particularly drawn to climbing but do love see her doing it. The grace and power it takes is amazing.
I love these series it‘s always so impressive to see what some people can do!! 😮
When 2 of the most likeable, wholesome people combine in a video 👌 Janja is an absolute diamond. So humble, encouraging and funny as well as being a generational talent. This collab was epic 👌
It literally brings tears to my eyes watching Natacha try things… like Janja said: it’s just so good to see someone try hard
