FAQs
I've never been coached before. Is that ok?
No problem! Many of our clients come to us for their first coaching experience.
All our plans are delivered via our app, including detailed exercise descriptions and videos showing you how to complete the training, ensuring anyone with any level of experience can train effectively.
I'm not based in the UK. Do you offer remote coaching?
Yes! We work with clients all over the globe.
All of our coaching services are offered remotely so you can access world-class training, wherever you are based.
I am very busy. Do I have time for structured training?
Most of the climbers we work with have full time jobs, often with families and other responsibilities.
Our training plans with ongoing coach support (Climbing Training Plan PLUS and Flexibility Training Plan) are ideal for a busy lifestyle: if something last-minute comes up, your coach can edit your plan to suit.
Do you cater to all climbing grades?
We have experience working with athletes across a huge range of abilities; from those attempting their first V5 all the way up to professional rock climbers.
The entry requirements for all of our training plans are the same, you must have climbed V4/6B boulder or 6b+/5.10+ sport in the last 12 months.
You must also be able to hang your bodyweight on a 20mm rung for 10 seconds or more.
Am I too old to start training and pushing hard grades?
Absolutely not! Most of our clients are aged 35-50 (and we have worked with climbers well into their golden years!).
All of our climbers in this age range – whether they started late in life or not – are perfectly capable of getting stronger and fitter, and we see this on a weekly basis.
Am I still able to climb for fun whilst I’m training?
Yes, of course!
We’ll work with you to find the healthy balance between structured and unstructured climbing that’s necessary to keep your training sustainable in the long-term; whether that’s structured climbing indoors in the week and unstructured climbing outdoors at the weekends, or squeezing training into your lunch break to complement your social climbing in the evening.
My technique needs work. Is this the plan for me?
All our training plans are focused on developing the physical attributes needed for climbing. Your coach will look at the results of your testing and write a custom physical training plan to develop these.
If you’re hoping to focus on developing technique, we would recommend you work with a local in-person coach.
Which plan is right for me?
Consideration 1: The Grade You Climb
For all our plans, in the last 12 months, you must have bouldered V4/6B or sport climbed 6b+/5.10+.
If you climb at an intermediate level, all of our plans are suitable! Keep reading to find out what else you should consider when choosing your plan.
For anyone climbing at an advanced or elite level, we would recommend our Climbing Training Plan PLUS which includes ongoing coach support as your training is likely to be more nuanced and may need adjusting within a training block.
Consideration 2: Your Focus
If flexibility is your priority, then you should choose a Flexibility Training Plan. Whilst all of our coaches are able to prescribe flexibility as part of a plan focused on overall holistic performance, climbers hoping to improve their flexibility primarily would benefit from the expertise of our dedicated flexibility coaches.
Consideration 3: Level of Coach Support
If you are someone who has lots of questions for a coach, requires plan re-writes and edits due to a busy life or last-minute changes or inconsistent access to facilities, or if you simply want ongoing contact with your coach, our Climbing Training Plan PLUS is perfect for you.
If you’re happy with a self-led approach without ongoing coach support and monitoring, our Climbing Training Plan is right for you.
Consideration 4: Training History & Experience
If you’re someone who has never trained before or is relatively new to structured training, it’s likely that our Climbing Training Plan will meet your needs.
If you have a long history of structured training, it’s likely that our Climbing Training Plan PLUS will be more appropriate as you’ll be able to work with your coach in an ongoing way to nuance your training plan. This plan is perfect for anyone trying to break plateau.
I don't quite meet your physical requirements. Can I still do a training plan?
Unfortunately not – for all our plans, you must have bouldered V4/6B or sport climbed 6b+/5.10d+ in the last 12 months, and must be able to hang bodyweight on a 20mm edge for 10 seconds.
As all our plans are delivered remotely, we have physical requirements in place to reduce the risk of injury to clients. We don’t want to cause injury by putting your body under stress it isn’t ready for.
Additionally, these requirements ensure that you’re ready to get the most out of your time spent training!
You can head to our YouTube channel, blog or podcast for free resources to help you reach those benchmarks.
Our ‘Fingerboarding for Beginners’ video and ‘Training Fundamentals’ series are a great place to start.
Alternatively, our Education Courses are great resources for learning about and writing your own training plan. ‘A Climber’s Guide to Training’ is our flagship course that should teach you everything you need to know to write your own training plan.
I don't have access to the recommended equipment. Can I still do a training plan?
You will need the required equipment to complete the assessment at the start of your plan. However, after this, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have access to the recommended equipment. Our training plans are fully personalised—not just to your goals, strengths, and weaknesses, but also to the facilities and equipment available to you. Simply let your coach know what you have access to in your pre-plan form, and they’ll tailor your plan accordingly.
I have a lower body injury. Can I still do a training plan?
We’re sorry to hear that you’re injured! We wish you a speedy recovery!
Whilst we don’t typically work with injured climbers, lower body injuries are the exception since maintaining your upper body strength whilst you recover is a good idea. Your coach will write you a plan focusing on upper body conditioning and finger strength; just let them know about your injury in the pre-plan form you receive at the start of your plan.
Can I be pregnant or 12 months postpartum and complete a Climbing Training Plan?
Unfortunately, we cannot offer this service to clients who are pregnant or less than 12 months postpartum.
Pregnancy and the postpartum period require a more tailored approach, with closer monitoring to ensure safety and avoid injury or complications. Since this plan does not include ongoing coach support, we recommend our Climbing Training Plan PLUS as we will match you with our pregnancy and postpartum specialist who will offer ongoing support and monitoring. This option ensures you receive the support needed to train safely and effectively during this time.
Reviews
Not only have I become stronger and more flexible, but I enjoy climbing a lot more now. The flexibility of the plan makes the program easily adjustable to everyday time constraints and means that it is very easy to follow.
Fredrick de Mare
Like many others, I am obsessed with climbing, but I have a desk job; I don't have time to read the literature or collect climbing performance metrics.
The Lattice coaches really know their stuff, and are super strong climbers themselves.
All 3 times I've had a plan, I've seen an improvement in my grade and, more importantly, enjoyment in climbing as I feel light as a bird and injury-free.
Keep up the great work Lattice!
Freddie
The results are amazing. I feel strong and confident in my climbing. I will get another plan for sure!
Christoph Auer
A Lattice training plan removes a lot of mental stress trying to continuously adapt your training. You know exactly what to do that week. No more, no less. In the past I've always felt like “I should be doing more" or "I should be doing something else", but with this plan, I could put that part of my mind to rest.
Mats Olsen
My training plan was easy to follow, and as a result, I am now climbing consistently harder than before. Totally worth it!

By the end of my plan, I was definitely in the strongest climbing shape of my life. Despite neither being necessarily the core focus of the plan, both my general upper body strength and finger strength showed considerable improvement. Perhaps most satisfying, however, was the improvement in my lower body flexibility and mobility, which not only has improved my movement on the wall, but has eliminated pain that I used to experience in my hips and knees when placed in more compromising positions. I’ll certainly be retaining many of these mobility exercises in my future training.
Laura –
I improved my strength on everything easily measurable/quantifiable (weight lifted). I felt that I increased my confidence in climbing at the gym measured by number of climbs that I could flash on a given day (though saw increase at the lower end of my grade range). People who didn’t know I was on a plan commented that i looked stronger / more powerful on the wall. I am definitely planning to include elements of the training plan into my continued ongoing maintenance and would consider purchasing another lattice plan for a tune up / re focus in the winter.
I loved this training plan and the app, the flexibility and easy of scheduling the training around my schedule reduced the mental burden and allowed me to focus my effort on training. I definitely want to check back in with a coach after the fall climbing season and get a new 6 – 12 week plan for winter. I do plan to continue using some of the timing features in the app to do some maintenance between now and when I sign up again.
Results exceeded my expectations – I didn’t expect other people to notice over such a short period of time (I only did a 6 week plan). The app was also easy/ fun to use to both schedule work outs and remind myself of what exercise i was supposed to be doing.
Jamie –
My lattice plan has definitely helped me to see measurable improvements in my climbing performance, making solid progress toward longer term goals. Looking at 3 key areas – pulling strength increase by 3%, finger strength increase by 9%, and completed multiple v8 boulders (before plan only 1)!!!! Most importantly though the focused structure has helped me re-evaluate how to use time more effectively to work towards goals – and has helped me shift into a quality over quantity mindset which feels to have made a big difference for my overall performance Very happy with the effectiveness of my plan.
The whole process is very easy and felt that my coach (Jon Procter) did a great job setting out a relevant plan for my goals – thanks Jon! The video is a really nice addition and had me excited to start the plan and the training. Managing sessions is super easy with the app (ie planning and moving sessions, recording notes and tracking progress) which is highly valuable as the plans do have a lot of exercises and sessions to track and manage. Overall the total package exceeded my expectations, and definitely plan to start another training plan before the end of the year.
Andrew –
Another follow on training plan. I have real gains in my climbing both in grade and consistency. The plan is very well designed and balanced enabling me to fit in training around my other commitments. It is also enjoyable in itself.
Hendrik –
I got more flexible and am now able to climb my project way faster than before. My endurance and recovery got better. Your plans feel personalized and I have the feeling that they really help to build a deep foundation for my climbing career. And I trust you. (HUGE fan of your YouTube channel)
