So far I like it, just started using it 2 days ago. I'm in the process now of setting/creating my schedule but I wish while doing so I could read what each workout entails. It doesn't make sense I choose a workout without knowing what it is, then I have to hit the Back button that takes me all the way back to the home screen (doesn't stay on the schedule), go back into the schedule, then click on the workout to read what it is. There should be a way to view them all while editing our schedule.

The only app I use every single day. I used to just mess around on the rings and pull up bars, banging out muscle ups and handstand pushups until I got tired. Sure I made some progress, but I eventually stalled. I've been using this app for 4 months now and I've seen massive gains in strength, size, and skills. It's all down to how well the app manages progressive overload. It moves you along at just the right pace so you can achieve a little more each workout. The smart progress feature is the best I've ever seen. It will add in new exercises once you've mastered easier ones. I just held my first straddle planche for a few seconds today after 4 months of the planche progression. It would have taken way longer without the steady progress that the app enabled. I've been hammering away at the planche progression, FL progression, and legs workout. But now I'm getting into some of the freestyle moves (360 bar spin + tornado) and falling in love with the app all over again! Thanks for making progress and working out so fun, Calisteniapp!

The workouts aren't too difficult, even as a beginner, and they seem very effective, as I can feel all the muscle groups being worked and needing recovery the following few days, but strength is gained fast. The short tutorial vids are very helpful for workouts that I'm not sure how to execute. I'm always skeptical of workout apps, and they're rarely good for beginners of any type, but this app is real and great for anyone as the workouts only use bodyweight and can be altered to be easier.
