FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 Here are some of the more frequently asked questions we get about our training plans. Still don’t see what you’re looking for here? Let’s talk it through in a Remote Consultation! Or shoot us an email at: info@powercompanyclimbing.com

  • Our Ebooks, Trip Prep, and Proven Plans are available for every level of climber from beginner to expert.

    Our Custom Plans are available for every level of performance, but are best suited to folks with more specific training needs.

    What’s most important is that you consider your CURRENT climbing performance level and goals – not the level you think you should be performing at, or the level you performed at years ago, etc., etc. – being honest with yourself will help you choose the plan that best suits your needs and that’s the best plan to help you improve!

    Feel like you fall in between two plans’ levels?
    If you’re new to structured training for climbing, opt for the lower level plan.
    If you have experience with structured training for climbing, opt for the higher level plan.

  • Consider your BUDGET:
    Ebooks cost $15-$35.
    Trip Prep and Proven Plans cost $100-$275, depending on coaching options.
    Custom Plans cost $300-$500 depending on duration.

    Consider your TIMING:
    Trip Prep Plans should be purchased 8 weeks before a trip.
    Proven Plans should be started 12-14 weeks before you’d like to be performing your best.
    Custom Plans should be started 8-9 weeks (6 week plan) or 14-15 weeks (12 week plan) before you’d like to be performing your best.

    Consider your DELIVERY PREFERENCE:
    Ebooks can be viewed on a mobile device using a reader app, but are not interactive.
    Trip Prep, Proven, and Custom Plans are delivered through our interactive training app, allowing for real-time progression, ability to log and track sessions, in-app messaging, and more.

    Keep in mind that all Trip Prep and Proven Plan purchases include a free download of that same program’s Ebook!

  • Consider purchasing the Ebook version of the same plan first, if available. This gives you the plan’s programming content, but without access to our training app.

    If/when you’re ready to purchase the plan as a Proven Plan (so you can follow it in real-time in our training app), there’s a discount code in every Ebook which allows you to put the cost of the Ebook towards your purchase of the Proven Plan!

  • EBOOKS: you’ll receive an email with download instructions shortly after completing your purchase. You can begin your training whenever you like!

    TRIP PREP or PROVEN PLANS: you’ll receive an email within 1-2 business days from time of purchase containing all that you’ll need to get started. Your program will begin with a brief introductory phase, usually lasting about a week or so, to help you get acclimated with using the app. The first phase of your training will begin after this, on a Monday. Your program will then progress weekly in real-time.

    CUSTOM PLANS: you’ll receive an email within 1-2 business days from time of purchase containing all that you’ll need to get started. Custom Plans begin with an initial assessment phase, usually lasting about 2 weeks, to allow you to submit some initial baseline measurements which will help your coach in creating a plan specific to your needs and goals.

    **TRIP PREP, PROVEN, AND CUSTOM TRAINING PLANS PROGRESS WEEKLY IN REAL-TIME. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO START TRAINING.**

  • Our app is not available on the App Store – if you purchase a training program that utilizes our app, you’ll receive a download link via email.

  • Commitment and consistency are key to a successful training program, which is why we do not offer the option of pausing or restarting your plan mid-way. We know how easy it can be to let yourself off the hook if you know you can stop or start over anytime.

    If you experience an unexpected emergency that keeps you from training, let us know as soon as possible. Depending on the circumstances and how far along in the training plan you are, we can help you decide how best to proceed.

  • Since our plans (Trip Prep, Proven, and Customs) progress in real-time in our mobile app, you will no longer see the plan’s content once it’s been completed.

    If you’d like to continue using our training app: you can, for free! Our Build Your Own Machine programming will automatically load in your account after your plan. It is not a scheduled training plan but instead gives you access to our vast library of workout sessions and instructional videos to pick and choose from, allowing you to create your own programming.

    If you do not choose to continue using our training app: your account will be automatically deactivated after a period of inactivity (6 months without signing in).

  • If you’d like to repeat the program in our training app: you will need to repurchase the plan.

    If you are comfortable training independently without our training app: you can utilize the Ebook version of the plan, which was included with your original purchase!
