Climbing training planner for Android phones

Short answer

Blok Sessions is on Google Play, free. Your plans live in your account, so the Android app, the iPhone app and the planner at bloksessions.com/app all show the same ones. You can build a multi-week plan by hand, group the weeks into training periods like Strength or Deload, and fill the days with exercises from the same catalog, each with how long it takes, its intensity and injury risk. Planning is free, in the app and in the browser.

On Android, iPhone and in the browser

Every time a climbing training app launches, the top comments ask the same thing: is it on Android? Blok Sessions is, on Google Play.

Your plans live in your account, not on one device, so the Android app, the iPhone app and the planner on bloksessions.com are views of the same thing. Plan at a computer, train from your phone.

What you can do in the app and the browser

Make a free account with your email address, in the app or at bloksessions.com/app.
Build a multi-week plan by hand. Pick the days you train and what goes in each one.
Group the weeks into training periods. There are seven: Base, Strength, Power, Power endurance, Endurance, Performance and Deload. Each exercise lists the periods it's meant for, so you can keep the hard ones out of an easy week.
Fill the days from the catalog. Warm-ups, finger and pulling strength, power, endurance, technique drills and cool-downs, each with how long it takes, its intensity and injury risk.
Add a plan somebody else made. Plans shared on bloksessions.com/community can be added to your plans with a free account, and so can a plan a friend or coach sends you with a private link.

Training from it on an Android phone

Open the app and today's session is on your Home screen, so you've got it with you at the gym. For the how-to of each exercise, the exercise pages on bloksessions.com have the full instructions. 4x4s, Abrahangs and max hangs, for example, each have one with the sets, the rest and who shouldn't do them yet.

For timed hangs, every exercise page with an interval has a free timer that takes the rest between sets as well as between hangs. With Pro, the app's guided timer runs the whole session for you.

If you switch phones

Log in on the new phone with the same account and your plans are there, Android or iPhone. Change a plan in the browser and it's in the app the next time you open it, and the other way round.

Who this is for

Boulderers who already train and want their weeks planned: which days are hard, which are easy, and when the deload comes. If you're just starting out, you don't need a plan yet. Climb lots of different problems, and come back to the planner when you want structure.

Questions

Is there a Blok Sessions app for Android?

Yes. It's on Google Play and free to download. The planner at bloksessions.com/app works too, on a computer or in your phone's browser, with the same account.

Is the browser planner free?

Yes. The account is free and planning in the browser is free.

Do I need to install anything?

Only if you want the app. The browser planner needs nothing. Open bloksessions.com/app, make an account with your email address, and start a plan. Log in on your phone and on a computer with the same account and you see the same plans on both.

My training partner has an iPhone. Can we use the same plan?

Yes. They can send you a plan with a private link, and you add your own copy. Changes you make won't affect theirs.

Where do I find how to do each exercise?

Every exercise in the catalog has its sets, rest, minutes, intensity and injury risk, and most have their own page on bloksessions.com with the full instructions and who it isn't for.
