Leaderboards

Training alone builds strength. Training alongside others builds consistency, motivation, and a competitive edge that pushes you past plateaus. Gripp Leaderboards give you five distinct ways to measure yourself against the entire community or just the people you follow. Whether you care about raw hang time, total experience points, or the longest unbroken training streak, there is a leaderboard that tracks exactly the metric you want to compete on.

These are not static, one-dimensional lists. They are a dynamic, filterable ranking system that lets you drill down by movement type, time range, and social context. Check where you stand globally in pinch grip hang time this week, or see who among the people you follow has the longest active streak of all time.

Five Ranking Categories That Cover Every Angle of Training

Gripp offers five leaderboard types, each measuring a different dimension of your grip training. A single metric would reward one type of athlete and ignore everyone else. Five categories mean five ways to compete, five ways to lead, and five reasons to keep showing up.

XP Leaderboard ranks athletes by total experience points earned. XP accumulates from completing training sessions, finishing program levels, maintaining streaks, and hitting milestones. This board rewards overall engagement and commitment. Athletes who train consistently across multiple programs and movements rise to the top here, even if they are not setting the longest individual hang times.

Hang Time Leaderboard ranks athletes by their longest single hang in seconds. This is the purest test of grip endurance on the platform. Your best dead hang, your best pinch grip hold, your best towel hang - whatever movement you filter to, this board shows who can hold the longest.

Most Practices Leaderboard ranks athletes by total training sessions completed. The athlete who shows up day after day earns their place on this board regardless of how long each individual hang lasts. This is especially motivating for newer athletes who may not yet have elite hang times but are building the habits that will get them there.

Consistency Leaderboard ranks athletes by their current active streak - consecutive days trained without missing a day. An active streak is fragile. One missed day resets it to zero. Watching your streak climb while seeing how close you are to overtaking someone above you creates a daily pull to train.

Longest Streak Leaderboard ranks athletes by their all-time highest streak. Unlike the consistency board, this record is permanent. Your longest streak stands even after your current streak resets, rewarding athletes who have sustained long periods of disciplined daily training at any point in their journey.

Global Rankings vs. Following - Choose Your Competition

Every leaderboard supports two context modes: Global and Following.

Global shows your rank among all users on the platform. This is the full competitive picture - humbling for new users and deeply motivating for experienced athletes pushing into the top percentiles.

Following narrows the leaderboard to only the people you follow. When you follow friends, training partners, or athletes you admire, the Following leaderboard turns into a private competition. You see their names, their ranks, and their numbers right next to yours. The gap between your score and theirs becomes a specific, tangible goal.

The toggle between Global and Following sits at the top of every leaderboard view, so switching takes a single tap. Many athletes check Global for the full picture, then switch to Following for the rivalries that drive their daily training decisions.

Movement-Specific Leaderboards - Filter by Movement

Not all grip training is the same. A dead hang from a standard bar tests different muscles than a pinch grip hold or a fat bar hang. Gripp recognizes this by letting you filter every leaderboard by specific movement.

A movement filter lets you select from any movement available in the movement library. Choose Dead Hang to see who leads in the classic overhand bar hang. Or select "All movements" to see combined performance across every grip type.

This filter applies to all five leaderboard categories and all time ranges. You can view the XP leaderboard for Dead Hang only, the Hang Time leaderboard for Pinch Grip only, or the Most Practices leaderboard across all movements. The movement filter modal displays the full list of available movements with a clean selection interface - tap a movement, and the rankings refresh instantly.

Enriched Athlete Profiles on Every Entry

Leaderboard entries are not just a name and a number. Every entry displays the athlete's username, avatar, rank, and score value, enriched with additional context about their training journey. You can see what program someone is currently working through and how many programs they have completed. When you notice the person above you on the Hang Time leaderboard has completed three programs while you have completed one, you get a clear signal about what level of commitment produces those results.

This data loads automatically. You do not need to tap into individual profiles to understand the context behind someone's ranking.

How It Works

Step 1: Open Leaderboards. Navigate from the Community tab

Step 2: Choose your category. Select from XP, Hang Time, Most Practices, Consistency, or Longest Streak using the category tabs at the top of the screen.

Step 3: Set your filters. Toggle between Global and Following. Select a specific movement or choose All movements.

Step 4: Find yourself and compete. Your position is highlighted so you can immediately see your rank. Scroll through to find friends, rivals, and targets. Then go train to move up.

Why Competition Drives Better Training Results

Research on competitive motivation consistently shows that people train more consistently when they can see how they compare to others. When you are three spots away from overtaking a friend on the weekly hang time board, your next session has a specific purpose beyond "get stronger." It has a target.

Social accountability matters just as much. When the people you follow can see your rank, skipping a training day has a visible cost. Your streak drops. Your practice count falls behind. Your position slips. This gentle competitive pressure is one of the most effective tools for building long-term training habits, and it is built into every leaderboard view inside Gripp.
