Training Plans
Training plans are pre-built, multi-week programmes you apply directly to your schedule. They range from free Sequence plans to programmes from professional coaches and training providers.
Finding Plans
Click Plans in the sidebar to browse available training plans. Plans are organised by:
- Free Plans — Sequence’s default plans, available to all users: Boulder (focused bouldering training), Routes (route climbing and endurance), and Combined (mixed boulder and route training)
- Purchased Plans — Plans you’ve bought from coaches or training providers who sell programmes through Sequence. On web, they’re on the Purchased Plans tab, which appears once you’ve bought a plan. See Subscription for how to buy one.
- Membership Plans — Plans included with gym memberships or coaching subscriptions (e.g., Climb Strong). They appear in their own section.
- Gym Plans — Plans designed for specific gyms’ facilities and grade systems. For example, 9 Degrees gyms have plans matched to their colour-coded grading system.
If you’re a Climb Strong or gym member, Plans on web opens on the Climb Strong tab with your membership plans. More Plans has the rest of the catalogue, including the free plans and other providers’ plans, and Purchased Plans appears once you’ve bought a plan. Climb Strong plan pages show Included in your membership instead of a buy button. The mobile app doesn’t have these tabs or a list of purchased plans.
Previewing a Plan
You can preview a plan’s full contents before applying it.
Select a plan
Browse to any plan and click it to view its details.
Click Preview
Click Preview to open the plan preview modal.
Review the content
The preview shows:
- Total number of weeks
- Each day’s scheduled workouts with names, descriptions, and durations
- Rest days, marked with a coffee icon
- Notes and coaching instructions
- Week labels (e.g., “Base Week”, “Power Week”)
Dates are based on your selected start week, so you can see exactly which days workouts will land on. Try different start weeks to check that hard training weeks don’t coincide with trips or competitions.
After reviewing, close the preview or go on to apply the plan.

Set overwrite preference
Check Overwrite any planned workouts to replace your existing scheduled workouts, for example when starting a new training block. Leave it unchecked to add the plan’s workouts alongside your existing sessions.
Confirm
Click Confirm to add the plan to your schedule.
Plans aren’t locked once applied. You can drag workouts to different days, delete sessions that don’t fit your schedule, and add your own workouts alongside plan sessions.
Updating Plan Workouts
When a plan author changes a workout’s exercises, your copy stays unchanged until you review and apply the update. Updates cover exercises and sets, not widgets. Your logged history stays unchanged, and sessions with completed sets don’t update.
Open the update
Select the Update badge in Workouts or on a scheduled planner copy. You can also open the workout and select Review in the Update available banner.
Review the changes
Check the exercise summary and the number of upcoming sessions that will update.
Choose how to update
- Add What’s New — Add new plan exercises and sets while keeping your exercises, sets, and adjusted values.
- Replace with the plan’s version — Replace your exercises and sets with the plan’s current version, including its removals and changed values.
If there is nothing new to add, Update Exercises replaces your exercises and sets with the current plan version.
