It really helps with arm and finger strength, you just have to be very careful not to overdo it or you won't get anywhere. It's difficult to get started on if you don't have any climbing strength to begin with, but you can get there if you work at it. Just be aware that this is a long process. You can't expect instantaneous results. Overall a great product though. I would have someone to help you
