Calisthenics Training · Set your Goals · Earn the Skills
We design today's session —
around your last set, your level, your edge.
The Skill Path reads what you did last session and builds today's around it. Your exact rep target. The variant you can do right now. The next prerequisite unlocked the moment you're ready. From your first push-up to your first muscle-up, handstand, or planche.
Free to start. No gym needed. The assessment finds where you are.

Every goal you pin gets mapped like this. Gold rings are skills you've earned. White rings are where you are right now. Grey rings are the path ahead — prerequisites and all — so you always know what unlocks what.
Why you're stuck
You don't need more workouts.
You need one that's right for today.
YouTube is full of people doing muscle-ups, handstands, planches. The "do this, then this, then this" videos are great — but they don't tell you what to do today, or how to know you're ready for the next thing. Most people stall before they get to the skills they actually want.
What should I do today?
Push? Pull? Mobility? Skill work? You open the app and stare at it. By the time you decide, half your motivation is gone.
Was this built for me?
Most programs are written for a generic person. They don't know what you can already do, what's too easy, or what's just out of reach. So you're either bored or stuck.
Does any of this add up?
You pick exercises from videos and articles. They're fine on their own. But they don't add up to anything — no path from your first push-up to the skills you actually want.

That's what The Skill Path does — and what nothing else really does. The next workout, designed for you, sitting there waiting. You just train it.
How we build your session
Designed around you. Built for today. Adjusted as you go.
Three things make The Skill Path different. Each one solves a problem most calisthenics apps leave on the table.
01 · Today's session was designed this morning
You open the app. The session is already built — for today.
No deciding. No guessing. The Skill Path picks Push, Pull, Legs, or Skill work based on what you trained last, what you're recovering from, and the goals you've pinned. Every exercise is set to the variant you can do right now. Every rep target is built from your last set. You just show up.
4 session types. Always one queued up.
Swipe to see all 4 session types →
02 · The next variant is waiting
The moment you've earned it, it shows up.
Want to do a muscle-up? You'll need pull-ups, chest-to-bar, and bar dips first. The Skill Path shows you exactly which prerequisites you've cleared, which are next, and the path between them. When you clear today's target, the next variant lands in your next session. Nothing is mystery. Nothing is locked behind years of guessing.
Pin up to 3 goals.

03 · It knows when to push, and when to back off
Calisthenics is hard on the body. The Skill Path makes the call when you need to recover.
Plateaus happen. Bodies need rest. The Skill Path tracks the load you've been carrying and serves up lighter weeks when you need them. Recovery counts toward your streak, not against it.

See it climb
Watch your strength stack up — across whole skill chains, not just rep counts.
Some people train and never look back. Others want the receipts — charts, records, history, momentum. The Skill Path tracks every set quietly in the background. When you want to see how far you've come, your progress is sitting there.
01 · Not just reps
See progress across the whole skill chain.
Most apps track how many push-ups you did this week. The Skill Path tracks how you moved from wall push-ups to knee push-ups to push-ups to diamond push-ups — every exercise in the chain, overlaid on one chart. You don't just see more reps. You see harder exercises.
Pin the chain that matters most to you.

02 · Every rep counted
Personal records, session by session.
Every set you log gets compared against your best. New record? It's marked. Each session is tagged with how it felt — Just Right, Too Easy, Tough — so the program can adapt. You can scroll back through your training history any time. Nothing disappears.
PRs tracked across every exercise. Session feedback shapes what's next.

Belts per lane. Habits per month.
Six belts — one for each lane — that climb as you train. A monthly calendar that shows every training day, deload, and rest. You can see your weekly streak, your sessions logged, your skills earned. The numbers are quiet. They stay there as long as you keep showing up.

What you're working toward
Nine paths. Pick three. The Skill Path builds around them.
Each path is built around a headline skill — the kind you've seen in calisthenics videos and wondered if you could ever do. Pin up to three at a time. The app builds your training around them. The rest stays available for when you're ready to chase something new.
Muscle-up & Beyond
Pull yourself up and over the bar. The iconic strict bar muscle-up.
Planche & Beyond
Hold your body horizontal off the ground with locked arms. The straight-arm strength benchmark.
Path to the Front Lever
Hold your body horizontal hanging from a bar. The pulling-static benchmark.
Handstand & Beyond
Balance freestanding on your hands. From wall walks to a 30-second freestanding hold.
Full Flexibility
Front split, side split, full pancake. Earn the most-asked-about flexibility skills.
Pistol & Beyond
Single-leg squat to full depth. The lower-body skill benchmark.
Path to Strength
Bilateral volume + weighted progressions. Less skill display, more raw power.
Gymnast Movement
L-sit, V-sit, press to handstand, handstand walk. Skill-display gymnastics.
Explosive Strength
Build explosive strength across push, pull, and legs. Endgame: the Triple Threat — Clap Push-Up, Clap Pull-Up, and Pistol Jump, all three.
3 active at a time. Switch them when your goals change.

A note from the founder
Built by Michael, in Charlotte.
Michael · Charlotte, NC
I started barely able to do one ugly pull-up. I'd watch calisthenics videos on YouTube and want to be able to do what those people were doing — the muscle-ups, the handstands, the planches — and I had no idea where to start.
The "do this, then this, then this" progression videos were great. But they never told me how to know I was ready for the next thing. The gaps were too big. The floor was too high. I didn't know where to start, or what to do today. I'd open up YouTube, stare at it, and feel both inspired and overwhelmed. Which influencer should I follow? Which workout should I do? My time and motivation were gone before I'd worked out.
So my training was a grab bag. I'd do this exercise from one video, that one from another. They were fine on their own. But they didn't add up to anything. There was no path, and I wasn't getting anywhere.
The Skill Path is my effort to solve all of that.
This project started as a hobby: I was building a system to get me to my first muscle-up, and I'm still on that path. But with a lot of research along the way, the Google Sheet hobby turned into The Skill Path. Real prerequisite chains. Realistic timelines. Peer-reviewed programming principles. Not gym-bro intuition or "I can do one, so you should listen to me." I did everything I could to build this system on evidence, not vibes.
If you're somewhere on the same road with me, I hope it helps.

My Real Path to a Muscle-Up
Every belt I earn, every session the app builds for me, every round I win or lose — captured automatically as I train. The page below is the real ongoing diary of the path from one ugly pull-up to a muscle-up. Nothing fabricated. Each section is a snapshot of where I was at that belt.
Train tomorrow.
Open the app. The first session is already designed for you — at your level, your variant, your edge.

Questions
Before you start.
Does the app actually build my workouts, or just track them?
It builds them. The Skill Path designs today's session around what you did last session — your exact rep targets, the variant you can do right now, the next prerequisite when you're ready. You don't pick exercises from a library, and you don't follow a generic program. The session is sitting there when you open the app, already designed for today.
Do I need equipment?
A pull-up bar will get you a long way. Without one, the app will adapt — you can train push, legs, core, and mobility with just the floor and your body. But the full path opens up with a bar. Most equipment you'd need for the full experience you can access at a local park or playground for free.
I'm a beginner. Is this too advanced?
No. The Skill Path starts wherever you are. If your first push-up is a wall push-up, that's where you start. The assessment finds your level, and the rivals you'll face match what you can already do. The early rounds are achievable for anyone.
I already train. Is this too easy?
No. The Skill Path goes deep. The catalog includes one-arm pull-ups, full planches, freestanding handstand push-ups, V-sits, dragon squats. The assessment captures what you've already earned and skips the rounds you've already cleared. If you walk in with a strict pull-up, you'll skip Round 1 against Kade and start where you actually are.
How often do I need to train?
Three sessions a week is the target. The app rotates Push, Pull, Legs, and Skill work to give each lane real attention. You can train more if you want, but you don't have to. The system is built around consistency, not volume.
What about rest days?
Rest days are part of the program. You can mark them in-app, and they count toward your training streak — not against it. The Skill Path also includes deload weeks (lighter sessions) when fatigue catches up. You won't be punished for being human.
Is my information private?
Yes. The Skill Path doesn't sell your training history and doesn't share it with third parties. Your reps, your records, your progress — all yours. See the Privacy Policy for details.
