Getting Started With Crimpd
How to download the Crimpd app, create an account, and complete your first workout
This guide walks you through downloading Crimpd, setting up your account, and completing your first workout.
1. Download the app
Download Crimpd for free from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Create an account
Open Crimpd and tap Sign Up. Enter your email address and create a password. This gives you access to workout logging, training history, and analytics.
After signing up, fill in your Climber Profile (gender, age, body weight, height) and adjust your Climbing Settings (max sport grade, max boulder grade, grading system). These settings help tailor workout recommendations to your level.
3. Browse workouts
Tap the Home page to browse over 75 free workouts. You can search by keyword or filter by category. Workouts are organised into four categories:
Endurance — The ability to climb at a low-to-moderate level for extended durations. Improves pump management and mid-route recovery.
Power Endurance — Submaximal force output over an extended period. Improves sport climbing grades and longer boulder problems (8+ moves).
Strength & Power — Maximal force in a single contraction. Improves bouldering grade and supports gains across all other categories.
Conditioning — Strength and conditioning work that supports climbing performance, recovery, and injury prevention.
Each category breaks down further into sub-categories (e.g., aerobic capacity, finger strength, core). Tap the info icon next to any sub-category title for a full explanation.
4. Complete a workout
Select a workout to view its details. The workout screen shows the duration, required equipment, a description of the session, and the exercises with sets, reps, and rest intervals.
Tap Start Workout to begin. The built-in timer tracks each rep, rest period, and set automatically. Enable sound for countdown beeps at the start and end of each repetition.
Log your results
After finishing, you are prompted to log the workout. You can record:
- Completion percentage — 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%
- Difficulty — easy, moderate, hard, very hard, or max effort
- Average grade climbed — for comparing across sessions
- Notes — fatigue levels, conditions, or anything else worth tracking
The amount of detail you log is up to you. Even minimal logging builds a useful training history over time.
5. Track your progress
Training history
The History tab shows a chronological list of your logged workouts from the past three months (customisable). Each entry displays the date, workout name, completion percentage, difficulty, and any notes. Entries are colour-coded by training category, making it easy to see your training balance at a glance.
You can also view past logs for any individual workout by tapping the History tab on that workout's detail screen.
Analytics
The Analytics screen provides charts and graphs of your training data. You can view analytics by number of workouts or by total training minutes (workload), broken down by category. A weekly breakdown chart helps you spot trends and adjust your training focus over time. A 3-month summary shows your overall training distribution.
