About

Limit

Features
Read full description

Limit is the app for climbers who train with a coach. Your coach builds the program. You open the app and do the work. Every session your coach assigns shows up on your home screen, in order, with exactly what to do: the climbs, the hangs, the sets, the targets. No spreadsheets, no screenshots of a Google Doc, no guessing what Tuesday means. LOG IT WHERE IT HAPPENS Log grades, attempts, and sends between burns, not from memory two hours later. Hangboard work captures grip position, load, and duration. Strength work captures sets and RPE, and notes capture anything else your coach should know about your session. SEE IT PAY OFF Your grade pyramid, flash rate, max hangs, and strength numbers, plotted over weeks and months. See your progress in real-time with real data. TALK TO YOUR COACH Message your coach directly in the app. Send photos and video clips of attempts. All communication in one easy to access place. THE PLAN, VISIBLE See the whole training cycle: what this week holds, what the next block looks like, and how today fits into it. WORKS AT THE CRAG No signal at the boulders? Limit stores everything on your phone and syncs when you are back on the grid. A dead zone never loses a session. NO NOISE No ads, no feed, no streaks to fake. Just your training, in order. Limit is for athletes whose coach runs their coaching on Limit. The app is free for athletes; your coach sends the invite. If you are a coach, find us at limit.coach.
