Here’s the brutal truth: 87% of people who buy those expensive 8-week programs never finish them. They get injured, plateau, or simply give up because the program wasn’t designed for their level. Don’t waste thousands on cookie-cutter programs that leave you frustrated and broke.

πΈ That on its own it’s worth THOUSANDS of dollars
But on the top of the content you also get an AI system that every day creates a personalised training program just for you.
We could package each skill separately and charge you $100-$500 for each to access them separately with an 8 week training program just like our competitors do.
And that would probably be more reflective of the value and the amount of work that went into creating those “courses” for each of the skills.
Also, it would make way more business sense and we would make more profits. π°
After training thousands of athletes we really despise the idea of giving you another 8 week [insert appropriately handstand, muscle-up, upper body) program.
β Here is why:
π― Why doesn’t The Movement Athlete sell 8-week programs?
After analyzing over 2 million workouts, we found that 87% of people who buy 8-week programs never finish them. Real strength and skill development takes months or years, not weeks. That’s why TMA offers lifetime progressive training that adapts to your pace, not arbitrary deadlines.
β’ Fitness should never have a deadline β³
We see fitness as a lifelong journey of physical mastery – not something you do for 8 weeks.
β’ NO, you will not learn muscle up in 8 weeks ππ
Depending where are you starting, the skills you are trying to build can take months to build appropriate strength and mobility – assuming that 8 weeks will give you what you need is INSANE – everyone goes at their own pace, building strength and improving mobility takes time and it needs to be done step by step. Changes to your body take time.
β’ We would rather see you healthy and πͺstrong than have a six pack
β’ You should be able to afford it π°π²
We would rather have our training accessible than asking you to pay $200 for an 8 week set up.
It’s more important for us that you stick with your lifelong journey than pay money up front.
β’ Fitness needs to be personalised π―
At The Movement Athlete we really despise beginner/intermediate/advanced setup. We are all different, we are different on a variety of attributes. If something, we should have 1-20 different levels than just 3.
β’ There is not a single right philosophy βοΈ
As coaches we are constantly learning and evolving. Most of the programs that you see on the market are centered around a single person and their philosophy. Instead of relying on someone’s single experience, we decided to bring a team of coaches from different backgrounds and disciplines. That makes sure that we are challenged and constantly growing and we made a promise that the program will always be evolving.
As you can see – we committed to building a company and the program that simple pdf downloads will not deliver the value we want you to get out of it.
And with courses we can’t execute on what in The Movement Athlete Academy fitness looks like.
Personalised, adaptive, lifelong, holistic, progressive, structured, safe, fun

β οΈ Common Mistakes When Choosing Calisthenics Programs
Why this section matters: Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing the right approach to choosing a training program.
1. Buying programs based on time limits – Real skill development doesn’t follow arbitrary deadlines. Your handstand journey might take 3 months or 3 years depending on your starting point.
2. Following generic “beginner/intermediate/advanced” programs – You might be advanced in push-ups but beginner in mobility. One-size-fits-all labels don’t work.
3. Focusing on single skills in isolation – Training only muscle-ups without building foundational pulling strength leads to plateaus and injuries.
4. Ignoring mobility and joint preparation – Jumping into advanced skills without proper shoulder mobility is a recipe for injury.
5. Choosing based on price alone – Whether too cheap or too expensive, the real question is: does it adapt to your changing needs over time?
β Frequently Asked Questions

Can beginners really learn advanced skills like planche or front lever?
Yes! Our assessment identifies your exact starting point and creates a safe progression path. Most members achieve their first advanced skill within 6-12 months of consistent training.
What if I’ve already bought other calisthenics programs?
Many of our members come from other programs. TMA integrates everything you need in one place – no more jumping between PDFs or guessing what to do next.

If you plan to train for more than 11 months, lifetime membership pays for itself. Plus, you get all future updates, new skills, and features without paying extra.
What equipment do I need to start?
You can start with zero equipment! As you progress, a pull-up bar and parallettes are helpful, but the app adapts exercises based on what you have available.
