Brilliant training app
The training plan was great and such good value overall. The app built me a plan, the sessions were really easy to follow and I got so much stronger within only 3 months! I’ll be using for the forseeable!
Could be so much better
I’ve been a long time Crimpd user and was really excited about this release, but I’m left really frustrated.
The plans that get generated are so generic it’s frustrating. You’re not really asked anything other than a vague “what are you trying to achieve”, there’s no further questions about where you think your strengths or weaknesses are, or sessions you don’t like or maybe things you do/don’t want to focus on. You can’t even really edit the plan afterwards (I know you can substitute sessions to something else of the same ilk but it’s very limited), you just hit generate and that’s it! I was left thinking “well how the hell do you know that’s going to be any good for me?!”.
Honestly, if you’re new to training and just want something very generic and cookie cutter like to follow it’s probably “fine”, but I’m not convinced it’ll actually be that effective from a training for climbing perspective.

Absolutely brilliant
Amazing app and constantly being improved. Really pleased I invested in using this.
Really helpful
I improved by around two climbing grades in a few months, going from V4/V5 to V6/V7 while using the app. What worked well for me was that I didn’t really train more, just in a more focused and structured way.
I also had an issue with my training plan at the beginning because of a bug, but after contacting support I got a quick reply and the problem was fixed fast.
Overall, I’ve had a really good experience with the app.

Sent the Proj! 8A at age 41
I just hit a personal bouldering milestone, and I think the lattice training app may have been the deciding factor for me in the achievement. I’ve been climbing off and on for 25 years and never had a coach or followed a structured training plan. I decided to give the Lattice app a try in January of this year because I felt like I had gotten about as far as I could on my own. On the day of the send I warmed up as usual on individual moves and trying links. When I felt ready, I gave a max effort ground rip falling just before the last move. Normally after a super hard effort like that I would feel powered down and my session would be in decline, but I was able to continue giving max effort goes from the bottom and executing better each go until the send. I was pretty shocked at the performance. Upon reflection, I think the 12 week training block I completed in preparation for the spring season gave me the power endurance I needed to send and really made a huge impact on my climbing. I’m excited to see what’s next!
