Roadmap
An open-source mindset for the fitness world.
Introduction
For me, a roadmap isn’t just a list of tasks — it’s about openness. I’ve always been a big fan of open source, where ideas are shared, progress is transparent, and anyone can learn from the process. I want to bring that same spirit into the fitness world.
Too many fitness programs and apps keep people in the dark, hiding methods behind paywalls or hype. By sharing my roadmap openly, I want to show the journey as it really is — the ideas being tested, the tools being built, and the problems I’m working to solve. The goal is to make calisthenics more approachable and accessible, especially for beginners, with the same transparency and freedom that open source brings to software.
Beginner friendly YouTube videos
Create longer, in-depth videos tailored to absolute beginners in calisthenics. Many new learners feel overwhelmed by short, flashy clips that skip the basics. These videos will break down movements step-by-step, explain common mistakes, and build a foundation of proper technique for safe and steady progress.
Illustrated blog tutorials
Publish clear, blog-style tutorials with images for beginners. Written guides make it easier to reference instructions at one’s own pace, unlike videos where pausing and rewinding is necessary. This format helps learners practice and check form more effectively without rewatching entire videos.
Share my own routine
A common problem in fitness is that many coaches and influencers hide their own training. They promote exercises, programs, or products, but rarely show how they personally train day to day. This creates a gap between what’s taught and what’s actually practiced.
To break that cycle, I plan to openly share my own training routine — the exact workouts, progressions, and adjustments I make along the way. By being transparent about what I do myself, the goal is to give people a more realistic picture of calisthenics training: the struggles, the plateaus, and the progress.
Sharing my routine openly also reinforces the principle that guides this whole project — fitness knowledge should be accessible, honest, and free of unnecessary barriers.
Adaptive beginner program
Develop a structured beginner calisthenics program with multiple exercise options for each skill level. Most beginner plans are rigid and assume everyone can progress at the same pace, which often leads to frustration, injury, or giving up altogether.
This program is designed to be flexible. Each exercise will have alternative progressions to match different starting points. For example, someone struggling with push-ups can begin with knee push-ups, incline push-ups, or band-assisted variations. As strength builds, the program will guide the transition toward harder versions step by step.
The goal is adaptability, sustainability, and openness. Every exercise can be scaled up or down, so progress feels achievable no matter the starting point. And importantly, the entire program will be open and free to access — removing paywalls and making calisthenics training available to anyone who wants to begin.
Calisthenics app
Build an app to address common limitations in fitness apps: poor progression systems and minimal tracking features. Most apps only count sets and reps, which barely scratches the surface of true training progression.
This app will allow tracking of deeper variables — not just reps, sets, and time, but also things like surface stability, grip variation, leverage, tempo, and range of motion. These details make a huge difference in calisthenics, where subtle changes can transform an exercise from beginner-level to advanced.
By capturing these variables, the app will paint a more complete picture of progress and help athletes push forward in a structured way. The progression tree will adapt as the user improves, keeping training challenging but manageable while avoiding plateaus.
Build an open calisthenics community
A lot of calisthenics communities today are locked behind paywalls, private memberships, or hidden inside apps. This creates a barrier for beginners who are just starting out and can’t always afford to pay before they even know if calisthenics is right for them.
The goal is to build a free and open community where people can ask questions, share progress, and support each other without needing to pay for access. A space where beginners feel welcome, where struggling with a push-up is just as valid as celebrating a first muscle-up.
By making the community accessible, the focus shifts back to what matters: sharing knowledge, breaking down barriers, and helping more people discover the strength in calisthenics.
Final words
These goals won’t happen overnight. Some might take months, others may take years. But that’s the reality of building something real and meaningful. There will be setbacks, changes in direction, and moments where progress feels slow.
What matters is the long-term vision: making calisthenics more accessible, open, and honest for anyone who wants to start. This roadmap isn’t a promise of speed — it’s a commitment to keep moving forward, step by step, until each goal is achieved.
