About

ModernClimb

Read full description

ModernClimb allows clients to access fitness programs, record workout progress, and track their fitness journey. From the home page, view the messages from your fitness coach, view your daily fitness statistics, and see your daily nutrition overview. On this page, we also work with the Apple Health App to keep track of your steps and calories burned. From there, slide over one tab to the fitness calendar that will act as your daily workout planner. When your coach assigns you a fitness plan, asks you to weigh yourself, track your daily nutrition macros, or requests a progress photo - you’ll find that to-do list right here. Clicking on the workout for the day will take you right to the first exercise of your fitness program. Finally, you’ll spend most of your time in the Train tab. Here, you’ll have a full breakdown of your program week over week. See what days you need to train, the overview of exercises for that day, and then click into the plan to get started. Once you’re in a plan, you can simply swipe left through exercises to move throughout the program. At the bottom of each screen you'll see a workout timer and the ability to record sets, reps, weight, and time. Each exercise comes with a photo & video so you’re never left in the dark when it comes to form on specific exercises. Recording your fitness programs in the program will help let your trainer know exactly how hard you’re working to achieve your fitness goals. Have a great day!
