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!

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.
