How It Works
1. Message the coach
Say hi on WhatsApp. ClimbClaw asks about your level, goals, schedule, and injury history — like any good coach would in a first session.
2. Get your personalized 4-week program
Within minutes you get a structured 4-week training block built for you — not a template. On Coach+, Ofer personally reviews it before it reaches you.
3. Train, log sessions, adapt
After each session, text what you did and how it felt. Your plan adjusts week by week based on real data — fatigue, progress, and life.
What Coaching Looks Like
A real conversation flow: you describe the problem, the coach assesses, and you get a plan — in minutes, not weeks.

What You Get
Programs built on real periodization
Structured 4-week mesocycles using the Carlos Method periodization framework — base, power, and performance phases matched to your goals.
Session tracking with RPE
Log every session in chat with effort ratings (RPE). The coach spots overreaching and undertraining before you do.
Injury-aware adjustments
Built with a physiotherapist in the loop. Tweaky finger? Sore shoulder? Your plan adapts instead of pushing you into injury.
Nutrition guidance
Practical fueling advice for training days, rest days, and performance — no fad diets, just what supports your climbing.
Streak accountability
Daily check-ins and streaks keep you honest. The hardest part of training is consistency — ClimbClaw is built around it.
A plan that fits your life
Two sessions a week or five, home wall or full gym — your program is built around your actual schedule and equipment.

How ClimbClaw Compares
Most climbing coach apps fall into two buckets: pure-AI tools that analyze your technique but never learn your training history, and human remote coaches whose monthly rate is well above what most recreational climbers want to pay. ClimbClaw sits between them. It is an AI coach that builds and adapts your full training program, with a real physiotherapist reviewing the work behind it.
No app to install
Coaching happens entirely inside WhatsApp, the chat app you already use every day. There is no separate app to download, no new account to create, and no interface to learn before you can start training.
A physiotherapist in the loop, not just an algorithm
Pure-AI training tools cannot check your load history or judge whether pain is normal soreness or a red flag. Every Coach+ program is reviewed by Ofer Blutrich, a licensed physiotherapist (MSc PT) with 20 years of experience training and rehabilitating climbers, before it reaches you.
A full program, not one feature
A typical AI bouldering coach or video-analysis tool tells you about one move in one session. ClimbClaw builds a periodized multi-week plan, tracks every session with an effort rating, adjusts your training as you fatigue or progress, and covers nutrition and daily accountability alongside it.
Transparent pricing, shown up front
You see both prices, $29 and $99 a month, before you sign up. The first week is free and no credit card is required to start.
You do not have to choose between fast AI feedback and careful human judgment. ClimbClaw gives you both, in the same $29-$99 plan, without adding another app to your phone.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI climbing coach?
An AI climbing coach is software that builds and adjusts a personalized climbing training plan for you, the way a human coach would. It asks about your level, goals, schedule, and injury history, then programs your training and adapts it week to week based on how you respond. ClimbClaw adds a licensed physiotherapist reviewing every Coach+ program, which most AI coaches do not offer.
How does WhatsApp climbing coaching work? Do I have to download an app?
No, there is no app to install. Coaching happens entirely inside WhatsApp, the chat app you already use. You message the coach, answer a few questions about your climbing, and get your program within minutes. After each session you text what you did and how it felt, and the plan adapts from there, just like the example conversation above.
Is ClimbClaw really AI, or is it a human coach?
It is both. AI builds and adapts your program day to day, and a licensed physiotherapist reviews the work. The AI handles programming and session tracking so it is available every time you train, and Ofer Blutrich, MSc PT, personally reviews every Coach+ program before it reaches you. It is not a generic chatbot answering from scratch.
How much does ClimbClaw cost?
ClimbClaw is $29 a month for AI Coach and $99 a month for Coach+, which adds a personal program review by Ofer and a monthly 1:1 video call. The first 7 days are free on both plans, no credit card is required to start, and you can cancel anytime.
How is ClimbClaw different from a climbing training app?
Most climbing training apps give you a fixed workout library or analyze a single climb at a time. ClimbClaw builds a full, periodized program that adapts to your progress and your body over time, delivered in WhatsApp instead of a separate app, with a physiotherapist reviewing your plan and nutrition and accountability built in alongside the training itself.
Can an AI climbing coach replace a human coach?
For most recreational climbers, a good AI coach with a clinician reviewing it covers nearly everything a coaching relationship provides, but it is not a full substitute for a dedicated human coach at the elite or highly specialized level. ClimbClaw is built for the space in between: AI for daily consistency and adjustments, a physiotherapist for load and injury judgment, and Coach+ for direct human contact when you want it.
What happens after the free trial?
After your 7 free days, you choose a plan, $29 or $99 a month, to keep training with ClimbClaw, or you do nothing and coaching simply stops. No credit card is required to start the trial, so nothing is charged automatically, and you can cancel anytime with no lock-in.
Is ClimbClaw safe if I have an injury?
ClimbClaw is built with a physiotherapist in the loop, so your program is designed to load you progressively and adapt around a tweaky finger or sore shoulder instead of pushing through it. The coach asks about your injury history up front and adjusts your plan accordingly. ClimbClaw is coaching, not medical treatment, so if you have acute or worsening pain, see a healthcare professional.
