Description
The progressor is a dynamometer / load cell that connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth to provide accurate load readings. The product is used by climbers to measure finger strength and by physiotherapists for rehabilitation exercises and isometric testing. By testing your strength on a regular basis you can see how you progress.
It can e.g. be used to measure endurance, peak force, or rate of force development. Or if you wonder how far you are from doing that one arm pull-up, you can use the Progressor to measure how much help you need from the supporting arm.
A free app is available for iOS and Android. In case you want to write your own code we provide an open API for communicating with the Progressor via Python or your preferred programming language.
Sampling frequency: 80Hz. Design load:150kg (F.S). Safe overload: 120%F.S. Limit overload: 150%F.S. Precision: 0.1%F.S. Non-linearity: 0.1%F.S. Repeatability: 0.1%F.S. Hysteresis: 0.1%F.S.

Awesome tool to assess critical parameters for climbing performance over time or when you just wanna check your daily shape.

Nice device with great potential. It would be more useful if the App allowed an Endurance session that lasted more than 6 seconds. Up to 90s at least. I also could not save Endurance Sessions because you can’t access the Save button behind the Keyboard in iOS.

Thanks for your feedback. It is possible to run endurance tests up to 120 seconds by setting the desired time before starting the test. However, it can be related to the same bug as you report for data saving. We will address this in the next update.

I use this thing every day. Instead of setting up a hangboard at home, and having a pully and/or weights, I just use this little guy, attached to a sling at the top of a doorway. I can load each hand, 1 at a time, with 70-90 lbs depending on the edge. This gets me a pretty good range and simulates hanging at bodyweight + weight, 1 arm at a time. Great for travel too. I even attach my therabands to the progressor, so i can have a vague idea of how much force i’m applying with those. It makes it possible to slowly progress in a controlled way with therabands instead of just guessing. ANY extra information I can get while training goes a long way, and this device helps a LOT.

The progressor is really handy and useful little tool. I would given it five stars had it not been for the bugs in the app. Whenever I use the live data, the app quits within anything from 10 seconds up to 6 minutes. It happens every time i use this specific load reading. But for the usefulness itself I think it is a genius device and use it almost on a daily basis. And it gets fun when you can actually see once own performance from one session to the next and also getting exited about every hangboard sessions. So I really hope you guys at Tindeq will fix these bugs in near future so people won’t have to reload the app every minute while using it.

This product has been amazing for tracking and improving my ability through training! Durable and easy to use. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to take their training seriously.

Great product. Compact and functional. Shipping was quick, and it was easy to set up and use.
Exporting data to csv is ideal for tracking long term improvement. There are a few quality of life updates I would personally make (such as being able to export multiple endurance tests at the same time), but I’ve spoken to Tindeq and they’re receptive to feedback and have been launching bug fixes/updates regularly, which is the most anyone can ask for.
If you want more than that then having the option to write your own API is also a bonus.

Really great tool for assessing and training, totally portable too. The only requests I’d have for future development would be a rechargeable version, and perhaps an app that works on PC.

It’s a really useful device to use in clinical practice. You can also export peak load data to csv so this is great, however I noticed you can’t export endurance or rate force data to csv file. Do you know if this feature will be available in the future? Thanks for considering this request and congrats for your work and innovation!

I absolutely love this tool. It is a fantastic way to train and gather data related to your training. I am finding it super useful as a rehabilitation tool too with being able to quantify the return to full strength after a pulley injury. The design and aesthetics of the progressor is fantastic. Very happy with this tool.

Really great app, would be cool to have a App for the computer as well to export straight to excel etc.
Also if possible in the app a repeater option.
Other wise a really awsome tool for a great price.

Fint produkt. Savner info om hvordan tolke dataene fra de ulike testene. Kunne lagt det inn i appen

TLDR: I’m very happy, and very impressed.
Full review:
The Company:
– Shipping and purchasing was easy
– Arrived very fast
– Product is a little expensive, but seems worth the money. Decent value
The Product itself:
– This product is simple and reliable. The user experience is incredibly easy and well thought out.
– the company is continually supporting the user base with useful and user-driven updates to the app
– Tindeq added the ability to export data, which is useful if you have multiple athletes
– It seems durable (but I haven’t had it super long, and therefore I cannot guarantee my observations)
– The process to Tare and to measure is so fast and easy, it removes barriers and hassle to simple measurements
– I’m still learning how to use this effectively for training. Currently doing weekly measurements.
– I’m establishing benchmarks and learning how to use this device to shape my training
