BodyTree gives you a clear path from zero to advanced calisthenics. No gym required. Built on proven calisthenics progression principles, BodyTree maps 251 exercises across 33 skill branches into a visual skill tree. Each exercise unlocks the next, so you always know where you stand and what to train next. An adaptive Training Coach picks what to work on next, and 100+ flexibility, mobility, and rehab routines keep you training without breaking down. What makes it different: - Start training in seconds. Do a real first rep in a guided Day 0 session before any setup, and your skill tree and first week of training are built from the moves you just did - One Today card tells you what to do next: today's workout, a make-up session, or recovery. Your daily check-in, weekly mission, next skill, and rehab plan sit one glance below as simple rings - A visual skill tree showing your full progression path: push, pull, legs, core, and skills - 251 exercises from beginner fundamentals to advanced moves like planche, front lever, and handstand - Live Form Check: point your camera at yourself and BodyTree auto-times your isometric holds with a real-time skeleton overlay - A Training Coach that adapts to your progress and picks the right branch to focus on next - Stuck on a rep count? Run a Grease the Groove block: test your max, then log 6 to 10 easy sets a day right from your lock screen while your regular plan skips what the block already covers - Every session explains itself. See why today's workout looks the way it does, what each block builds toward, and why every exercise made the cut - Auto-generated programs based on your goals and weekly availability, with warmups that match your level - Flexible scheduling: train ahead or make up a missed workout on any rest day, and your streak stays intact - Flexibility and mobility sessions with built-in rest, exercise demos, and hold-timer audio cues so you can focus, not watch a stopwatch - Rehab tracks for tendon and joint issues, built on clinical rehab references. Your plan lives on your home screen, and training can automatically go easier on exercises that stress the recovering area - A Community feed of proof clips people chose to share, playing as you scroll. Search for other athletes, follow the ones you want, and filter the feed to just them. Sharing is per video and off by default, so you decide what the world sees. Every clip is checked before it appears, you can pull one back out of the tab whenever you change your mind, and you can report or block anything you'd rather not see - Log sets, reps, and holds, and watch your progress build over time - Progress Analytics with personal records, training trends, and workout history export. A written recap reads your last twelve weeks back to you and names any lift that has stopped moving, so a number stuck in place for a month finally says so - Milestone moments at day 14, 30, and 100 to mark how far you've come - Train anywhere: a park, a gym, or your living room Whether you're doing your first push-up or chasing your first muscle-up, BodyTree keeps the next step always in front of you. Free to use. No equipment needed. Go further with BodyTree Pro: monthly, yearly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
