Calisteniapp: Workout Programs

What Calisteniapp covers and who it suits

Calisteniapp is a bodyweight training app built around calisthenics, the strength work done with your own body and, where you have one, a pull-up bar. The developer, Calisteniapp, S.L., lists goals including strength, muscle gain, aesthetics, weight loss, skills, mobility and endurance, and cites more than 700 exercises.

The listing names three groups of users. They are beginners starting from scratch, intermediate users who want advanced plans and their own routines, and people preparing for a fitness exam or physical assessment. Training can take place at home, in a park or at a gym.

Choosing a starting programme and training at home

When you start, the app recommends a programme based on the level and goal you pick: strength, muscle gain, aesthetics, weight loss or skills. The developer lists more than 40 step-by-step guided programmes in total.

Training at home needs only bodyweight. According to the FAQ, a pull-up bar or calisthenics bars unlock more exercise variations and goals.

The free tier includes more than 500 individual routines with unlimited workout sessions. The PRO subscription unlocks all programmes, challenges, EVO routines and advanced metrics.

Learning pull-ups, handstands and other skills

A skills section offers guided tutorials for first pull-ups, handstands, muscle-ups, front levers, push-ups, back levers, planches and human flags. Each skill is taught through a sequence of steps rather than a single exercise.

The listing describes these progressions as safe and step by step. The aim, it says, is to let a beginner progress from zero without skipping ahead.

Building custom routines and EVO sessions

The workout builder creates a routine from three inputs: your goal, the time you have and the exercises you choose. Intermediate users can use it to organise their training calendar.

EVO routines are described as a more flexible method. The app adjusts daily training load based on your performance rather than following a fixed plan. EVO routines are part of the PRO subscription.

Logging sessions and reading the muscle map

A workout calendar keeps session logs, with weekly and monthly stats. A muscle map shows which muscle groups you have trained most often.

The listing presents these tools as a way to measure results and adjust training. Advanced metrics are part of the PRO subscription.

Twenty-one day challenges and achievements

Challenges are 21-day training programmes meant to help build habits. They are part of the PRO subscription.

Achievements are awarded to reward progress, according to the listing.

Sharing workouts with Health Connect

The app writes completed workouts to Health Connect, including exercise sessions and calories burned. The developer says this keeps fitness activity consistent across health platforms.

According to the listing, the app does not read or access existing health data. Sharing is optional and controlled by the user.
