About this app

Baseline is a training app for people who want structure and consistent progress without unnecessary complexity.

Most people don't skip the gym because they're lazy. They skip because of friction — what am I doing today, what weight was I on last time, should I increase it, am I doing too much. Every one of those small decisions creates hesitation.

Baseline removes that cognitive load. Pick a program or build your own. Train. Log the result. The app handles next time.

PROGRAM GENERATION

Baseline builds a structured 6-week training block based on your available equipment, your training frequency, and your preferred rep range. Exercises are selected to create balanced training across the week. Swap any exercise if you lack the equipment or want an alternative — the rest of the block re-optimises around it. Beginner-friendly mode prioritises stable, joint-friendly movements so anyone can feel confident getting through their first 6-week block.

MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AT ONCE

Hold up to 4 independent 6-week programs side by side — each with its own progression and block status. Switch between them whenever your training does.

WORKOUT TRACKING

During training, Baseline keeps things focused. Step-by-step workout flow, quick set/rep/weight logging, a rest timer with vibration alerts, and a clear instruction card for each exercise. The screen stays awake through rest and timed blocks. No distractions. Just your workout.

ADAPTIVE PROGRESSION

Your program evolves as you train. Week 1 establishes your baseline — work up to a hard set at the prescribed rep target and log the weight. That number becomes your reference point. Weeks 2 through 6 progress from what you actually lifted, not what you hoped you lifted.

Baseline supports four progression systems so 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). The engine adapts because you are.

END-OF-BLOCK REPORT

After 6 weeks you get a full progress report built from what you actually logged across the block. No streaks, no badges — just proof it worked.

DARK MODE & REMINDERS

Train in dark or light mode — dark is the default, toggle any time in Settings. Optional training-day reminders nudge you only on your scheduled days. They read like a training partner checking in, not a wellness app: "Training day." "Your next session is ready."

THE PHILOSOPHY

Simple — one hard set, log it, move on.
Data over ego — record what you actually did.
Effort in, progress out — no guesswork, no RPE sliders, no fluff.
The engine adapts — your program evolves as your training improves.

WHO IT'S FOR

Baseline is for people who want structure and consistency in their training: beginners who want guidance, lifters returning after a break, busy professionals who need efficient workouts, and anyone who wants to know exactly what they're doing before they walk in the door.

We don't filter by experience level. We filter by mindset. People who want to train properly.

Train hard. Log honestly. Progress weekly.
