## What is Climbro?

Climbro is a science-based training system designed to improve climbing performance, built on over 15 years of research. The app provides real-time force feedback, advanced finger strength and endurance assessment, adaptive personal training plans, and detailed progress tracking to help you train smarter and climb harder.

## PERFORMANCE TEST BATTERY

The battery consists of four tests:

• Max Strength – measures maximal finger strength
• Finger RFD – measures finger rate of force development
• Continuous – evaluates forearm anaerobic capacity
• Intermittent – evaluates forearm aerobic capacity

These tests provide objective measurements of finger strength, endurance, and local muscle aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Results are converted into climbing-grade scores for easy interpretation. A radar chart highlights your strengths and weaknesses, while comparisons with previous test batteries help you track long-term progress. The app provides detailed instructions and guides you through every test.

## ADAPTIVE PERSONAL TRAINING PLANS

After completing a Performance Test Battery, Climbro automatically generates a personalized training plan targeting your weakest physical qualities. Plans typically include 16–24 sessions over 2–3 months.

Unlike fixed schedules, Climbro's adaptive training plans adjust to your preferred climbing and training days, helping you combine indoor and outdoor climbing while maximizing training effectiveness.

During every workout, the app provides real-time guidance on force, contraction duration, repetitions, and rest periods. It also recommends optimal recovery both between exercises and between training sessions.

The new Training Status feature continuously evaluates how closely you follow the recommended schedule and how consistently you complete your workouts, giving you a clear picture of your training quality and expected progress.

## SINGLE TESTS

All tests from the Performance Test Battery can also be performed individually—ideal when you want to assess a specific physical quality.

Additionally, Climbro includes:

• Finger Hang Test – evaluates forearm strength and endurance
• All-Out Test – measures Critical Force (CF) and anaerobic capacity (W′)

## SINGLE EXERCISES

Climbro includes six predefined exercises targeting different physical qualities:

• Strength – develops maximal finger strength
• Power – develops explosive finger strength
• Hypertrophy – stimulates muscle growth and improves strength endurance
• High Intensity Endurance – improves high-intensity endurance and oxygen extraction
• Medium Intensity Endurance – maximizes oxygen utilization and endurance
• Low Intensity Endurance – promotes capillarization and aerobic adaptations
• Recovery – stimulates blood flow and metabolite removal

These exercises are intended for experienced climbers who prefer to build and manage their own training routines.

## FREE MEASUREMENT

The Free Measurement feature lets you fully customize protocol parameters while recording and saving raw force data for detailed performance analysis.

## PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS

The Performance Analytics screen visualizes your progress over time by displaying weekly best results for selected tests across different time periods.

## TRAINING ANALYTICS

The Training Analytics screen provides comprehensive summaries of completed workouts through clear and informative charts.

## CLOUD SYNC

All test and training results are securely stored in the cloud, so your data remains available even when you switch devices.

Please note that this app works exclusively with the Climbro hangboard. You can use it with your own Climbro hangboard or with any compatible board available at a friend's place or your local climbing gym.

### 5/5 — 5 stars! Fantastic tool as a climber and clinician.

*2025-07-08*

The Climbro fingerboard and app have been a game changer for assessing and training! I’ve loved using it for myself and find it a lot more engaging and fun to train my fingers. As a PT I find the setup very sleek and convenient at the clinic or the gym. The new team/coach remote monitoring platform is going to be great!

### 5/5 — BEST FOR MAKING PROGRESS

*2025-06-10*

Used regular hangboards before this, but didn't see clear improvement until I switched to ClimBro board. Not only can I see progress in the app, but I can feel it in my climbing. Definitely less pumpy, stronger, more endurance, climbing better than ever. Thanks Bro!

### 2/5 — Not efficient for people who have lives

*2024-10-31*

While I appreciate the precise tracking that the hangboard provides, the app does not allow for any customization of the training protocols. For someone who has a life outside of climbing hanging with each arm independently (at least 30 minutes / 3 times a week) is a super inefficient way to train

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-04-18*

My wife bought this for me as an unexpected Christmas present - climbro is pretty amazing - app works well too - better than i expected.

### 2/5 — mm not good

*2024-04-12*

I did all the tests and still not showing the graph

### 5/5 — Climbro is the Moonboard of hangboards

*2021-05-24*

I wish I’d heard about Climbro earlier. Force plates in the board allow you to train in a really precise way. And because of the feedback provided by the app, it keeps you honest - and motivated! If you want an app-based coach to tell you what to train, this could be just the ticket.
