Thenics

I’ve been looking for a simple way to track my strength and skills progression, and this app is it! The workouts are structured in a very balanced way to ensure progression and lower risk of overuse or injury. Once I’ve mastered one level, I know I’m ready to move on to the next, and revisit previous levels to keep my baseline foundational skills. Not only that, but it helps me track my progress and motivates me to push myself to advance with each workout. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Full planches and muscle ups, here I come!

This app has amazing potential but I do notice that once you go past 50% of one type of workout, there is still not enough progression exercises to bridge the gap to the next set of workouts. For instance, the difference between a frog stand and a tuck planche is huge especially for beginners, so I had to look up other progression exercises to bridge that gap, and I wish those were included in this app. One other bug I did notice though was that music sometimes can’t play at the same time as this app. Other than that this app is so good and I always use it because it has been such a big help in my workouts. Would definitely recommend to my other friends who are want to get into calisthenics.

This is a great app. I think the progressions are structured in a way to prioritize form and technique, which must be mastered prior to progressing. This reduces risk of injury. I have been using the app for several weeks and have seen noticeable improvements in my strength and flexibility. I am a rock climber and am using thenics workouts to improve my core strength for steep climbing. Love the “Workouts” for when I get stuck with slow progress on “Skills”- a great way to keep variation and continue progressing. My coworkers and I have been all using the app and each have different goals, which shows it is great for many purposes/skill levels.
