About this app

Sick of crunches and situps? So were World Champion wrestlers Jay Reso & Adam Copeland when they came up with the PurePlank board and app. The two pros put their heads together to think of the best way to keep fit while living their best life out of the ring. Planking provides a total core workout in as little as 3 minutes per day, preparing you for peak athleticism, boosting mood, and building muscle seamlessly. Crunches, situps, and traditional core exercise only work out abdominal muscles. While there is nothing wrong with these workouts, they aren’t the most exciting or efficient core routines you can mix into your daily routine. When it comes to a full-core training routine, nothing beats planks. PurePlank helps anyone write their core comeback story using the power of planking.

Customize Your Planking Routine
PurePlank is made for everyone. Started by two men in their 40s, PurePlank was their vision for an adaptable workout routine made to work for a wide range of users – from someone who has never worked out before to someone who has made working out an integral part of their lives.

The PurePlank app features customizable plank exercise routines that meet you in your workout journey.

Work Up To New Goals
Goals propel us in our fitness journeys when we tire of the same exercises. The PurePlank interactive app helps you meet new goals as your body and mind grow stronger. Professional plankers help you set goals and work through them, while the PurePlank board allows you to work up your time, endurance, and more.

Improve Mental & Physical Health
A good core training routine is key to a healthy lifestyle. Core body muscles provide body stability, improve balance, and propel health goals. Planking provides all the benefits of traditional core training exercises (like crunches and situps) with the added benefit of a mental health boost. Get your endorphins flowing and your muscles pumped with the help of PurePlank.

Never Get Bored
It’s easy to get bored with traditional workouts. You stagnate and grow tired of doing the same movements repeatedly without a change in routine.

The PurePlank companion app utilizes professionals to make your workout exciting, personal, and, most importantly – fun. Engage your core strength in just 3 minutes per day, and never get bored doing it.

The PurePlank app utilizes bodyweight, proper planking technique, engaging workout routines, and the PurePlank board to allow anyone to feel their best and train their core from home.

Ratings and reviews

It was a toss up between these guys and the Stealth Fitness board; I was leaning towards the Pure Plank but I first wanted to check out the app to see what it had to offer before i forked over $150 for the board. Yes, there's good demonstrations of the exercises and the model they used looks amazing. However, there's no follow-along workouts, so other than maybe using the app as a repository for different plank exercises for ideas to build your own workout, it's all pretty disappointing.

This app has the potential to be a great resource if you have the Pure Plank system, however, it is incredibly buggy and needs drastic improvements. While trying to use the post-partum workout, if you hit "start workout" it will walk you through the first plank but then stop. If you hit start workout again, it will start over and never move on to the next workout. If you just hit the play button, it won't record your workout in the app where it shows you your overall time spent workout out.

The device is great, but unfortunately, the app is borderline unusable currently. It will show you how to do each exercise and suggest how many reps to do, but there are far too many bugs and issues when using it that it cannot be relied upon to accurately track what you are doing. The user interface is very basic, yet not organized conveniently for beginners. Reps and rests are not accounted for, and it is possible to get soft locked out of exercises you want to do. Hopefully it will improve.
