Verdict

The generation logic is comparable to Fitbod's and just as approachable. What is not is everything around it: named workouts designed as units, demonstration video for every movement, audio coaching recorded to run while you train, and a progression model built by coaches for people with no equipment and no supervision. That last part is where a home-made generator gets it wrong in ways you feel in your knees.

Exhibit B — What you lose

Exhibit A — The prompt

Received on31.07.2026
Build a bodyweight training log with a conservative, readable progression rule.

Define a small set of movement patterns — push, pull, squat, hinge, core, carry — and for each a ladder of progressions from easiest to hardest, written by you in a YAML file with a note on the prerequisite for each step. Keeping the ladder in a file rather than in code is the point: it is a training decision, not a programming one, and you should be able to read and argue with it.

A session records movement, progression step, sets, reps and a difficulty rating from one to five. Progression is deliberately slow: move up a step only after three consecutive sessions completing all prescribed reps at a difficulty of three or lower. Never advance two steps at once, and never advance a movement you have not performed in the last ten days.

Add a decision log. Whenever the tool advances or holds a movement, write the reason to a file: the last three sessions, the ratings, and the rule that fired. Six weeks later that log is how you work out whether your ladder is sensible.

Generate a session as a fixed structure — one movement per pattern, sets and reps from the current step — and print it as text you can read from a phone lock screen. That is the whole interface it needs.

Add a plateau report: movements held at the same step for more than four weeks, with the ratings that kept them there.

Do not have a model design your training programme. Programme design for unsupervised bodyweight training is where the injuries are, and a plausible-sounding plan is exactly the failure mode you cannot detect from inside it.

Opening prefills the prompt — press enter to run it.

Exhibit B — What you lose

  • B.1 the workout catalogue, each session designed as a unit rather than assembled
  • B.2 video demonstrations for every exercise
  • B.3 audio coaching that runs hands-free while you train
  • B.4 progression designed by coaches for unsupervised training
  • B.5 the mobile app and the community challenges

Exhibit C — Why people still pay: coaching content and progression design

Training with no equipment and no gym means nobody is watching your form or your progression, and paying someone to have thought about both is the whole proposition.

Questions

Can I export my Freeletics history?

Freeletics offers a data download under its privacy settings, which includes your completed workouts. It is a data-protection export rather than a designed one, so expect JSON that needs a script to flatten, but the session history is in there.

Do I need to know how to program training for this to be useful?

Yes, more than for a gym logger. The ladder file is the programme, and the tool only enforces what you wrote. If you do not have a view on what should come after push-ups, that is a good sign the subscription is the better purchase.

What does it cost to run?

Nothing. It is a text file, a small database and a printout, with no service involved.

What is the one thing that does not survive the rebuild?

Someone qualified deciding when you are ready for the next progression. Your rule waits three sessions; a coach watches the third rep of the second set and tells you no.
