CLIMBING

Climbing training plans, built for your goal

Climbing training plans live or die on the details — a boulderer chasing a V-grade plateau needs power and finger strength, while someone building toward a first outdoor lead needs endurance and head-game work. SportBlox builds your climbing training plan around your discipline, current grade and weaknesses.

Who it's for

Who it's for

First outdoor lead climb

Endurance laps and mental-game work to move confidently from the gym to real rock.

Breaking a bouldering plateau

Hangboard and campus-board strength paired with technique-focused projecting sessions.

Multi-pitch endurance

Aerobic capacity (ARC) training and volume climbing to hold form over longer routes.

Sample week

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like finger strength, footwork on slab, endurance on longer routes, lead head-game / fear of falling and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

For coaches

Coaching a climbing team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

Climbing training plan FAQ

Do I need a fingerboard for this plan?

Only if hangboard sessions are included — SportBlox will note it as required equipment, or you can flag no fingerboard access as a constraint and it substitutes gym-based finger strength work.

How does it avoid overtraining my fingers?

Finger-intensive sessions are spaced with recovery days between them; consistent weakness or fatigue feedback lets you adjust the load.

Is this for boulderers, route climbers, or both?

Both — tell SportBlox your discipline and goal grade and the plan weights power vs. endurance work accordingly.

Is it beginner-friendly?

Yes, set your skill level to Inexperienced or Beginner and the plan prioritises technique and general strength over intense finger loading.

How does it handle injury and tendon safety?

Flag any current niggles as a challenge in your profile and the plan avoids loading that area, favouring technique and antagonist work instead.
