How does a Climbing Training Plan PLUS work?

Starting your journey with a Lattice training plan is simple: from your first click to your first session, every step is tailored to you and your goals.

Step 1: Complete Your Assessment

Before your plan can be written, we need to know exactly where you are now – and where you want to be. That’s why every plan starts with an assessment.

We hold the largest database of climber metrics in the world, so when you complete your assessment, we compare your results against climbers at your current and goal grade. This shows us exactly where your performance gaps are and helps us target your training effectively.

How it works

Once you purchase your plan on our website, you will receive an email with a link to your assessment. Your coach can’t begin writing your plan until you’ve submitted your results – so the sooner you complete it, the sooner you can start training!

The Climbing Training Plan PLUS assessment includes 16 tests that you complete across 3 sessions, and should take approximately 90 minutes per session to complete. You should rest for 48 hours between testing sessions. The assessment is a complete performance profile, covering everything from finger strength to flexibility.

At this stage, you will also complete your pre-plan form, where you share all the important information, such as your goals, your training history, and available time and facilities.

Step 2: Your Coach Writes Your Plan

Once your assessment results are in, your coach will create your 100% custom training plan.
Plans take two weeks for coaches to write; your training will begin the next Monday two weeks after you’ve submitted your assessment results.

Your plan will:

  • Address weaknesses highlighted in your assessment.
  • Build on your strengths where that benefits your goals.
  • Include training specific to your climbing style and objectives (e.g., if your project is a compression boulder, you’ll see plenty of relevant exercises).
  • Be fully tailored to your available time and facilities.

You might be surprised by what your assessment reveals – but your coach will know exactly how to turn those results into progress.

Step 3: Optional Coach Consultation

You can choose to book a consultation call with your coach to:

  • Go over your assessment results.
  • Walk through your training plan.
  • Understand exactly how each element will help you reach your goals.

If you don’t opt for the call, you’ll still receive a personal video from your coach explaining your training.

Step 4: Begin Training

Your plan will be delivered in the Lattice app – exclusive to plan clients.
In the app, you can:

  • Schedule your training for maximum flexibility.
  • Tick off sessions as you complete them.
  • Use built-in timers set up for your workouts.
  • Track your training analytics.

You will also communicate with your coach via the in-app chat to ask questions and request plan edits. Plan edits are unlimited — so you can request as often as you like, whether there’s an exercise you’re not enjoying, your schedule has changed, or you have an upcoming trip.

Your coach will typically reply within 3 working days.
