Overview
We partnered with CLMBR to design, build, and launch the cross-platform app for their new vertical climber — working alongside product designers, fitness experts, and hardware developers to make sure data, video, and audio all stream seamlessly for the best possible experience.
Get the world climbing
CLMBR is the most advanced vertical climber ever made. The perfect balance of functionality and efficiency, bundled together in a sleek design that fits seamlessly in your space. So naturally, CLMBR needed a digital experience that matched the caliber of their machines.
UI designed for movement
We designed an interface that reflects the machine's core ethos: movement that feels natural, guided, and rewarding. The UI connects seamlessly with the vertical climbing experience, surfacing real-time performance metrics — vertical feet, power, tempo, and workout targets — in an intuitive, visually engaging way that keeps users focused on their progress rather than the technology behind it. It doesn't just show data; it celebrates motion, making every session feel purposeful and immersive.
