Frez didn't begin as just a tool to log training data.
It started with a question that challenged the status quo:
"Does good training always have to be expensive?"
This question sparked a journey—one that continues to shape every decision we make.
Putting Data Into Everyone's Hands
The story of Frez began with a climbing app called ClimbHarder.
As passionate climbers and developers, we believed that to climb better, you needed more than just intuition—you needed data.
When we discovered the WH-C06, a low-cost Bluetooth crane scale.
It wasn't originally built for training, but it offered an opportunity.
By building a companion app around it, we gave climbers the power to measure, track, and analyze their performance—without the premium price tag.
That app was ClimbHarder.
And it became the first chapter in the larger Frez vision:
Democratizing data-driven training.
Stillness, at Its Strongest
Unlike typical workouts, finger training in climbing demands isometric strength—the ability to hold tension without movement.
This type of static exertion requires not only physical endurance, but mental discipline.
The name Frez was born from this moment of still power.
Inspired by the word Freeze, it represents that critical pause where the body appears still, but is generating tremendous force.
It's in this suspended moment that performance is defined—when precision, control, and concentration converge.
Frez embodies this energy:
A still frame of intensity.
A symbol of strength without motion.
And a name that carries meaning not just in climbing, but across every form of isometric training—from physical therapy and rehabilitation to martial arts, gymnastics.
Built for Everyone, Evolving for the Better
From the start, Frez has been about access.
We believe training with data should be the standard, not a luxury.
But tools like the WH-C06—while accessible—were never designed specifically for athletic training.
They lack the precision, connectivity, and consistency needed for high-performance users.
That's why we're now building our own hardware, purpose-built to integrate seamlessly with Frez.
This next-generation device will:
- Deliver greater measurement accuracy
- Offer faster data transmission via Bluetooth
- Provide better calibration for athletic use
- Enable new training modes previously impossible
Across Disciplines, Beyond Limits
Although Frez began in the climbing world, its utility doesn't stop there.
Isometric training plays a critical role in many fields:
- Healthcare: Monitoring muscle recovery in physical therapy and post-surgical rehab
- Sports Science: Tracking force output in martial arts, gymnastics, and sprint training
- Education: Teaching biomechanics through real-time muscle tension analysis
- Fitness & Wellness: Helping personal trainers customize static strength regimens
By building a foundation on accessibility and precision, Frez is becoming a universal platform—supporting everyone from casual climbers to performance labs.
The Same Question, Always
At its core, Frez is not just a workout logger.
It's a response to a bigger mission:
How can more people train more effectively—
and grow at their own pace?
We revisit this question every day.
It fuels our innovation.
It keeps us honest.
Frez exists for those who value measurable progress over marketing promises.
For those who seek personal growth through effort and insight—not just repetition.
And for those who believe that great training shouldn't be locked behind a paywall.
We started with a question—and that question continues to lead the way.
