About

Baseline

Features
Read full description

Baseline is a training app built around one thing: keeping you consistent. It removes the friction that pulls training off course — what am I doing today, what weight was I on, should I push or hold — and gives you three ways to start, then handles the programming, logging, and progression whichever one you pick. 1. Workout generator. Answer a few questions about your equipment, training days, and rep range, and Baseline builds a complete, balanced program for you. Swap any exercise and the rest re-optimises around it. 2. Program library. Prefer a proven system? Start from Starting Strength, StrongLifts 5x5, Reddit PPL, CBum-inspired splits, Blood and Guts, Lyle McDonald's Generic Bulking Routine, Baby Got Back, Bodyweight Foundation, train-around programs for sore knees, lower backs and shoulders, science-based upper/lower and full-body options, and more. 3. Build your own. Pick your own exercises set by set, choose your rep targets, and use Baseline purely as a tracker if that's all you want. Whichever path you choose, the app does the rest. Logging is fast and focused — step-by-step workout flow, quick set/rep/weight entry, a rest timer with vibration alerts, and the screen stays awake through rest and timed blocks. Every session is tracked so you always know what you lifted last time and what to aim for next. Progression is automatic. Week 1 establishes your baseline; weeks 2 through 6 set each target from what you actually logged, not what you hoped to lift. Four progression systems mean the math fits the movement: linear (sets across a weekly rep target), HIT (one all-out set with a weekly ramp), bodyweight density (beat your reps in a fixed window), and failure-based (beat your previous count). Rep ranges trigger undulating periodisation — heavier and lighter sessions alternate inside your range so you get stimulus variation without managing it yourself. Run up to four independent programs at once and switch between them without losing progress. After six weeks, Baseline closes the loop with a full report built from what you actually logged. Plus smart exercise swaps, form-coaching animations with cues, optional abs/calves/cardio add-ons, quick finishers, and training-day reminders. Every account gets 30 days of full access from the day you sign up. No card required, and nothing is charged when it ends. After that, browsing programs, the library and your logs stays free — starting a workout needs a subscription. Most workout apps are loggers — they record what you did and leave the decisions to you. Baseline works more like a coach: it decides what you should do next and adjusts from what you actually lifted. It's not a substitute for a top-class human coach, but it can be better than most for the price of a cup of coffee. No social feed. No AI gimmicks. No streaks, badges, or cheap motivation — just a program that does its job. Terms of Use: https://baselinetraining.app/terms/
