How we deliver
Step 1:
Test
You will receive an assessment to test your physical performance and uncover your strengths and weaknesses.
Step 2:
Analyse
Your coach will analyse your assessment results and reveal how you compare to other climbers at your grade. Not only have we trained thousands of athletes, we have the largest dataset of metrics on climbers in the world!
Step 3:
Plan
With this information, your coach will create a 100% custom plan, based on your unique strengths, weaknesses and goals! Every plan is written from scratch, and accounts for your available time, facilities, preferred sessions, and experience.
Step 4:
Schedule
Our plans are designed to fit in around your life. With the easy-to-use scheduler in our app, you’ll be able to mix-and-match training sessions to accommodate your commitments each week.
Step 5:
Perform
You can follow, track and log your plan progress on our handy Lattice Training app; it even has a built-in timer!
The training was intense and challenging, but it helped me a lot. I went from projecting 6C to sending my first 7B+.

FAQs
Can I pick my coach?
You cannot choose your coach – we will assign your coach based on their availability for your chosen start date.
But don’t fear, we’re a really close knit team, that fully embraces the ‘hive mind’ mentality within our approach to coaching. We continually share ideas and approaches, and learn from each other’s specific areas of expertise.
Do I get feedback from the Lattice Training Plan mini assessment?
Yes — You will receive feedback on your assessment. Your coach will explain which areas are a strength or weakness, and how they are addressing this in your plan.
However, if you would like a more detailed report, check out our full Remote Assessments.
When should I start?
A good time to start would be during a period where you’re not focusing on performance, for example, your off-season. It’s helpful to have at least a 6 week period where you can focus more on training and less on performing.
If autumn is your outdoor climbing season, then you may want to train over winter whilst it’s too cold. If spring-summer is your outdoor climbing season, autumn may be a good time to begin. Alternatively, you may want to dedicate a period of time to training before going on a trip, regardless of the time of year.
However, for many, you are able to climb outside year round and/or may not have distinct training and climbing seasons.
Whatever balance you wish to strike between training and climbing, your Lattice Coach will be able to create a plan specific to your needs.
Do I get in-person coaching and online support?
No – Whilst Lattice Training Plans are 100% customised, they are fully remote self-coached plans once delivered. As you won’t receive ongoing coach support, we are unable to edit your plan after delivery.
However, if you spot an issue with your plan or something feels wrong, please contact us as soon as possible so we can rectify it for you.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a plan with ongoing coach support and flexible plan edits, check out our Performance Coaching Plans.
Can I edit my plan after I receive it?
No – Lattice Training Plans don’t include ongoing coach support, so we are unable to edit your plan after delivery.
However, if you spot an issue with your plan or something feels wrong, please contact us as soon as possible so we can rectify it for you.
If you want support from a coach and the freedom to change your plan whenever you need, even last minute, check out our Performance Coaching Plans.
When can I start?
Once you have completed and submitted your mini assessment, we aim to get your plan to you within 2-3 weeks, however, this can be longer in busy periods.
Feel free to get in touch for more info.
I want to focus on both boulder and sport climbing, which plan should I choose?
No problem!
Our plans are 100% bespoke to you, so don’t worry too much about which plan you choose. Let us know in your pre-plan form about your preferred discipline(s), goals, and preferences, and our coaches will write a tailored plan for you!
Can you plan around my busy/difficult schedule and/or limited facilities?
Yes!
We understand that everyone is different so we specialise in designing plans to fit in alongside your life, whatever your schedule or facilities.
Whether you travel for work, or have a busy family life, our expert coaches will write you a plan bespoke to your unique circumstances..
If you think you may need the freedom to change your plan after delivery, even last minute, you should have a look at our Performance Coaching Plan.
Or, if you’re not sure which plan is right for you, contact us and chat to our friendly team.
I've already done a Remote Assessment. Do I need to do the assessment again?
No – as long as your assessment was taken within the last 4 weeks, we can use the results from your Remote Assessment to write your Lattice Training Plan.
Email [email protected] to let us know you’ve done a Remote Assessment recently.
What happens if I get injured?
If you become injured, please stop all training and climbing immediately, and notify your coach. We are not physiotherapists, therefore, we are unable to advise on injury rehabilitation. You should seek advice from a climbing-specific physio – your coach may be able to recommend a physio in your local area.
What happens at the end of the plan?
At the end of your 12- or 24-week training block, you can purchase another Lattice Training Plan. This will include another assessment so you can benchmark your progress.
Alternatively, you may want to upgrade to one of our Performance Coaching Plan.
My technique needs work. Is this the right plan for me?
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. Our coaches are able to offer some feedback from videos of you climbing, however, the focus of our plans is to develop your physical characteristics.
Reviews
Thanks to this program, my finger strength has improved by 40%!
The fingerboard plan is a well-built program, very detailed and, if followed carefully, will provide amazing results! Thank you!
Alessio
I have been climbing for 30+ years and, despite training like a beast, I had plateaued for 10 years.
These guys know their stuff, and I went from onsighting 7a/b to my first onsight of a 7c in many years.
Buy it, follow it to the T, and reap the rewards.
It's changed the way I train and the grade I climb
Iggi Moore
My strength improved dramatically throughout this programme and with that, so did the grade that I'm climbing!
Tom Pain
The program provided the structure I needed to keep me motivated, but enough flexibility that I could fit the sessions to my busy schedule.
Josh
The app made workout tracking really easy, and the wealth of info available via the Lattice YouTube page answered all of my questions.
Top marks, and highly recommended!

I have been climbing for 30+ years and train like a beast; but the last 10 has seen me doing mostly 7b routes and I seemed to have reached a plateau. So I opted like so many to train hard during Lockdown; I bought the FB Plan. I wasn’t used to such a structured plan and thought there were way too many rest days! However, these guys know their stuff and I went from onsighting 7a/b to my first onsight of a 7c in many a year. Buy it, follow it to the T, and reap the rewards. It’s changed the way I train and the grade I climb. 🙂

I did the finger plan during the lockdown while all gyms were closed and I couldn’t go to work, it was the perfect opportunity. The training was intense and challenging but it helped me a lot. I went from projecting 6c to sending my first 7a in fontainebleau and to my first 7b+ in clibing outside too.
I really am excited to do that again next year and get even stronger. If you wanna improve I highly suggest this plan 🙂

This is a great programme! I was relatively new to fingerboard training (forced into it by coronavirus, like many others) and had no structure in my approach to training for climbing. Raf was my coach at Lattice – the programme he wrote was exactly what I was looking for, it built up both the volume and load incrementally and included a lot of relevant accessories work, not just hanging. My strength improved dramatically throughout this programme and with that, so did the grade that I’m climbing at. Thanks!

I just recently completed my first 3 month fingerboard training plan. Overall, I was really happy with my experience. I’m in the US and this was a great way to make progress towards my climbing goals during the COVID-19 pandemic. I really like the Crimpd App. The embedded videos made it easy to learn new exercises, and gave me confidence that I was using correct form and completing the exercises correctly. The built in timer and rep/set counter made it easy to complete workouts and the having the workout history in the app made it easy to see my progress. The program provided the structure I needed to keep me motivated, but provided enough flexibility that I could fit the sessions to my busy schedule. I made significant gains in my max hangs and made noticeable improvements in my finger strength and endurance. I would gladly recommend this to a friend or climbing partner and am signing up for another three months.

This was my first time on a formal plan and I’m really glad I chose Lattice. The plan I received was perfectly tailored, which gave me loads of confidence and motivation to improve. The app made workout tracking really easy, and the wealth of info available via the Lattice YouTube page answered all of my ancillary questions. Top marks, and highly recommended!

After two years of random max hangs with no increase in fingerstrength I finally found the right plan. The plan from the Lattice guys opened my eyes in terms of programming the energy systems and take enough rest days. All questions where awnsered really fast via mail. As a guy who mainly climb for fun I think this is the right Plan for everyone who wants to improve in fingerstrength and dont need or want “on wall Training“ sessions.
