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!

Really really good training plan! I had gotten in a bit of a rut with my climbing/training and was looking to change things up leading into the fall season. The lattice training plan was exactly what I was looking for. When training on your own, I feel its easy to end up strong in the areas you train but unknowingly really weak in areas you neglect. So by having a personalized plan that targeted my weaknesses, that were shown in the testing, I was able to have my strongest season yet! Im really looking forward to working with Lattice again and to keep growing as a climber.

Let me preface this by stating that I’m currently in week 7 of 12. I will edit this review and my score should anything change, but looking at the next 4 weeks of my plan, I doubt it will.
Around week 3 and 4, I was ecstatic with my sudden progress in both indoor and outdoor bouldering. I felt absolutely strong and nimble, and was ticking off higher grades than what I was sending before. I felt myself breaking past this year long plateau. I was already drafting this amazing 5-star review in my head, and I couldn’t wait to rave about it to all my friends. I was ready to buy another 12, or even 24, weeks because of how good I felt.
However, it was around week 5 and 6 when a particular 1-star review I read below started to resonate with me: this program didn’t feel at all personalized. If it was, then my coach did a poor job at it. This was obvious in two ways:
1) I was suddenly assigned an exercise (bw repeaters) that, if you even considered my base numbers prior, should have known I had no chance of succeeding in. There was no real progression in my program thus far that would have led me there. I had to modify this exercise by significantly reducing load. Up until this point, I’ve followed every exercise (including the assigned weight %s) to a tee.
2) One of the questions in the survey prior to starting the program asks you if you’ll be away/couldn’t complete exercises on certain days. I specified I was going on vacation at the end of week 6 and start of week 7. Now, why was my program exceptionally difficult and packed during week 6? (There was a significant spike from week 5.) I’ve had to cram several exercises within an incredibly tight schedule. To top things off, week 7 which was labelled a “rest week” contained the EXACT same exercises as week 6.
The fact that I’m having to suddenly modify exercises to the degree that I am kind of invalidates having a coach prepare your program for you. I can’t even contact my coach because you don’t get that privilege in this program beyond the initial email. (You’ll have to fork over $$$ for their performance plan, if you want to speak regularly with a coach).
I’m really sad to write this review as I’m seeing progress, but I can’t wholeheartedly recommend someone to spend $250-400 on a program that doesn’t respect your time and feels cookie-cutter.

Hi Mark, it’s Tom Randall here. Any negative review that we receive here (or via email) will always be addressed in detail our end as myself and the team are utterly committed to building amazing training plans, happy climbers, good results etc, it’s of paramount importance to us! I’m going to also write to you personally via email just in case you don’t come back to read any replies as it’s important we fully get to the bottom of everything… but also because I always want anyone in the general public who reads these reviews to know that we’re fully accountable to our work and that we actually, genuinely care!
1. First thing I want to say – and this is also super important for anyone reading, we NEVER want people to not be able to email/DM/WhatsApp us if they have an issue. As we build everything by hand with real humans (yes, I know some people will think we have robots and crazy levels of AI… I promise it’s not true) there is always the potential for human error occasionally. We’re always happy to address pretty much any issue, whatever the day of the year.
2. Regarding the cookie cutter feeling – what I can say is that 1) I promise you this is not true, our entire reputation is staked on it 2) The way that the plans are built on our ‘backend platform’ means that the coach HAS to start with a blank sheet so it’s totally impossible for them to produce plans in this way 3) I’m in the office every single week sitting next to our coaches writing plans, discussing testing data, debating methods of periodisation.. I get to see it behind the scenes and it’s really cool. 4) All of our coaches go through months of internal education and training – even if they’ve got a PhD in Sports Science! – so that we know everyone is using the same applied theory, experience and Lattice methodology.
3. The assignment of bodyweight repeaters was done with the context of where your initial max strength scores were coming in at when you first tested and this was added as a high intensity anaerobic FB session to compliment the continuation of the max hangs in your program. I’ve gone in and reviewed your plan with our head coach and we’ve agreed that this was placed too early in your mesocycles and should have been put a little later in the plan (we’ll chat through edits via email!).
4. The assignment of load around your 5 day vacation was, upon review, not correct and I agree that this should have been deloaded. This is 100% a human error and we’ve reviewed this internally and come up with some solutions. This is one of those items that can occasionally causes issues due to basic human error and whilst we always encourage a client to drop us an email if something looks wrong, I do appreciate in this instance that you didn’t feel that was possible and a review was your sole option. We’ll pick this one up directly via email as per the points above.
I hope my reply demonstrates that we’re always active in dealing with any issues raised, that we hold a high level of accountability to our standards, methods and reputation and also that I won’t dodge away from things that haven’t been quite right. I look forward to finding a resolution on email and also that we make sure you have a great climbing season coming up! 🙂

I am very happy with the training plan and my results. The initial test identified my weakness in max finger strength and this was the focus of the training plan. Coming back from a finger injury, I was a bit worried but after following the plan rather strictly my fingers are much stronger AND feel healthier than in a long time. My climbing feels much more solid, and the plan made me reach my season’s goal of setting a new sport climbing PB.
Matt Dearden –
Having done two of these over the past two winters I can confirm they really work! I travel a lot for work but the plans were perfectly structured to allow me to fit everything in each week. Both times I came into the sport season feeling strong and managed to up my red point a couple of grades.
