We made our first $1M. Let's build the next $1M together.

1. Why I stopped recommending gym programs
2. The training app I keep getting asked about
3. I tried a lot before I found this

[ADAPT: Write 2–3 sentences about a genuine moment of frustration with generic training — a program that assumed everyone starts the same, an injury from lifting, a plateau you could not break through, or simply the chaos of trying to stitch together YouTube videos into something coherent. This is YOUR opening, in YOUR voice. Do not fabricate. If you have not had this experience yourself, skip to the recommendation framing and say why the approach convinced you on behalf of your audience.]

I spent a while looking for something that actually started where I was. Not where a program assumed I should be.

That is when I started paying proper attention to The Movement Athlete.

It is a calisthenics training app. AI-driven, so it gives you a personalised workout every single day — not based on what the average person needs, but on what your assessment actually shows about your push strength, your pull strength, your mobility, your core, your legs. It places you at your exact level on every movement, then adjusts automatically from your feedback after each session.

[ADAPT: One line about why this appealed to you specifically — your schedule, your injury history, your goals, whatever is genuinely true.]

The thing that convinced me it was worth recommending: 100,000+ people across 47 countries are training with it, and it carries a 4.8-star member rating. It was built not by a single trainer with a strong opinion, but by physiotherapists, gymnastics coaches, and elite calisthenics coaches. And it is backed by the LEAD Sports Tech Accelerator — run by the Adidas family and ex-Red Bull executives — which tells you this is not a side project.

There is a 7-day free trial. No excuses not to at least look.

[ADAPT: One closing line in your voice — why you want them to try it, or what you hope they get from it.]

1. He trained for 11 years and then couldn't play with his kids
2. What happened when a lifter tried calisthenics
3. Eric started sceptical. Here's what changed.

[ADAPT: One sentence placing this story in your world — "I keep coming back to this because it matches what I hear from so many of you" or similar. Optional but makes the hand-off feel personal rather than forwarded.]

Eric had been training with weights for eleven years. He was strong. He knew it. He had the muscle to prove it.

What he did not have was the ability to move the way he wanted to. Flexibility had gone. Simple things — picking something up off the floor, keeping up with his kids — had started to feel like more effort than they should.

He was 38. He knew it was going to get worse, not better, unless something changed.

He tried calisthenics on his own. Went in enthusiastically. Plateaued after a few weeks because a workout he built for himself had no system to it — no progression, no way to know what harder should look like next.

That is when he found The Movement Athlete.

The app ran him through an assessment first. It figured out where he actually was on every movement — not where he assumed he was. Then it built his programme from there: daily workouts that got progressively harder in small enough steps that his body could adapt without breaking down.

"The app does it all for you except the hard part — the workout itself."

His advice for anyone starting out: let the assessment do its job. It may place you lower than you expect — that's the point. That is the point. The progressions are built so each step is roughly 5–10% harder than the last, so your joints catch up alongside your muscles.

He came back moving better. Stronger in ways that translated. Still had his muscle. Different kind of fit.

If any of that resonates — the weights background, the mobility gap, the sense that what got you here is not going to keep working — the free trial is seven days and costs nothing to find out.

1. Why cookie-cutter programmes keep failing smart people
2. The real reason you plateau (and it's not effort)
3. What "personalised" actually has to mean

Here is a conversation I have seen play out a lot.

Someone buys a calisthenics programme. Beginner level, supposedly. Week one goes fine. Week three is too easy. Week six they skip a session because it still feels too easy and momentum is gone. Or the opposite — week two is already brutal and they get a shoulder twinge that derails everything.

The programme was not wrong. It was just not theirs.

This is the problem The Movement Athlete was built to solve.

Before you get a single workout, you do an assessment. It covers every movement category — pushing, pulling, core, legs, mobility. Not a one-size-fits-all quiz. An actual test of where you can and cannot perform, right now, today.

The system uses that data to place you at your exact level on every movement independently. Your push strength and your pull strength are almost certainly at different points on the progression map. Most people's are.

Then you train. Daily workouts, built for you, not for a fictional average person.

Here is the part that makes the long-term difference: each progression step is roughly 5–10% harder than the one before. Small enough that your tendons and joints adapt alongside your muscles. Large enough that your body is actually changing. You are not grinding more reps of the same thing — you are doing a systematically harder variation of it.

[ADAPT: If you have a genuine experience of hitting this kind of plateau — with any programme, not necessarily TMA — a sentence here about what that felt like lands well. If not, skip.]

There are over 100 skills in the map. More than 2,000 exercise variations. It spans everything from the 9 Fundamentals — pushing, pulling, core, legs — through to handstands, front levers, muscle-ups and more. The system unlocks them as your foundations qualify you for them.

The workouts run from 15 minutes if that is what you have. They adjust in real time based on how you report feeling during the session. If you are having a good day, it pushes harder. If you are not, it does not grind you down.

Seven days free to find out if this is the system you have been looking for.

1. Your questions about The Movement Athlete, answered honestly
2. "Will this work for me?" — the real answers
3. What I'd want to know before starting

I get asked the same questions whenever I bring up The Movement Athlete. Let me just answer them directly.

Do I need equipment?
No. The system is designed for bodyweight training. If you have a pull-up bar or rings, those open up more progressions faster. If you have nothing, you can still work through a serious chunk of the programme. The assessment figures out what you have access to and routes you accordingly.

I'm in my 40s. Is this going to be too hard? Or not hard enough?
Neither. The assessment places you exactly where you are, and the progressions move at your pace. TMA's members range from 22 to 70. The programme was built with physiotherapists involved — joint safety is built into the progression design, not an afterthought. If you have a specific injury or area that needs working around, the assessment captures that.

I've tried bodyweight training before and it didn't really work.
The most common reason is that the programme assumed a fixed starting point. If the exercises were too easy or too hard at week one, the rest of the programme broke from there. TMA's assessment solves this by placing you individually on each movement. Your push level and your pull level are measured separately because they are almost always different.

What if I barely have 20 minutes a day?
That is enough. Workouts start at 15 minutes. The system works with whatever frequency and duration you tell it you have. Consistency at 20 minutes beats sporadic sessions at 60.

What does 60 days money-back actually mean?
It means exactly that. If you try it for up to 60 days and it is not right for you, you get your money back. No hoops. This is their standing guarantee.

Who built it?
The training system was developed over several years by a team of ten coaches — physiotherapists, gymnastics coaches, elite calisthenics coaches, and sports scientists. It is backed by the LEAD Sports Tech Accelerator — run by the Adidas family and ex-Red Bull executives. 100,000+ people across 47 countries are training with it right now. Member rating is 4.8 stars.

The free trial is seven days. If you have been on the edge, that is the way to settle it.

1. The 9 movements that everything else builds from
2. Why your handstand will never stick (until you fix this)
3. A 15-minute session you can do today

[ADAPT: One sentence about a movement or skill you personally find interesting, or a question you hear from your audience about bodyweight training. Keep it honest and brief.]

If you want to eventually do a handstand, a muscle-up, a front lever — whatever is on your list — there is a prerequisite layer that most programmes skip.

The Movement Athlete calls them the 9 Fundamentals.

They are nine movement categories that build the base for everything else:
- Pushing horizontally (the push-up progression family)
- Pushing vertically (handstands and dips)
- Pulling horizontally and vertically (the pull-up family, including rows)
- Core — abs, side, and back separately
- Bodyline (plank and hollow body variations)
- Leg work (the squat progression family)

You may be thinking: I know how to do push-ups. You probably do. But the TMA push-up progression has 12 levels. Most people, when assessed honestly, are not at level 12. The system finds where you actually are and builds from there.

The reason this matters for advanced skills: a muscle-up requires serious pulling strength, serious pushing strength, and the body control to link them under load. If any one of those is underdeveloped, the skill will not come — or it will come with compensation patterns that eventually cause injury.

A session worth trying this week:

Pick one movement from each of these three categories and spend 5 minutes on each. Go to the point where you feel genuine effort but maintain control throughout. Note where that point is.

- A push variation (incline push-up, regular push-up, or a harder variant you can still do cleanly)
- A pulling variation (ring row, assisted pull-up, or full pull-up if you are there)
- A core hold (plank, hollow body hold, or a side plank)

That honest accounting of where you are is exactly what TMA's assessment does — systematically, across every category, at the start of your programme.

If you want the full version — with daily workouts, proper progressions across all 9 Fundamentals, and the skill map unlocking as you qualify — the 7-day trial is where to start.

[YOUR PARTNER LINK]

1. If you've been considering it, here is the case for trying
2. Seven days. No card risk. Here's what you'll find out.
3. The honest version of "why now"

I have sent you a few emails about The Movement Athlete. I am not going to keep circling forever, so here is the direct version.

Why I recommend it:

It is the only calisthenics system I have come across that solves the personalisation problem properly. Not a quiz that puts you in one of three buckets. An actual assessment of your strength, mobility, and skill level across every movement category — and then a daily training programme built from that data.

100,000+ people are using it across 47 countries. 4.8 stars from members. Built with physiotherapists, gymnastics coaches, and elite coaches. Backed by the LEAD Sports Tech Accelerator — run by the Adidas family and ex-Red Bull executives.

Workouts start at 15 minutes. No equipment required to begin. The system adjusts in real time based on how each session goes.

Why there is a free trial:

Because a description of it is not the same as training with it for a week. TMA knows this. They offer 7 days free so you can find out whether this is the right system for you — not on faith, on evidence from your own sessions.

After the trial, if you stay, you are protected by a 60-day money-back guarantee. Two months to decide. Zero risk on the trial, very low risk on the subscription.

The one thing I want you to take from this:

If you have been frustrated with generic programmes — things that were designed for an average person and therefore did not quite fit — this is built differently. The assessment is where it starts. Do the assessment, see what it surfaces about where you actually are, and let the first week's workouts speak for themselves.

[ADAPT: One closing line in your voice — what you hope they find, or what you are curious to hear back from them.]

1. The body of someone who has been at a desk for ten years
2. What a physio would tell you about training in your 40s
3. Don started at 65 after decades of lifting. Here's what he found.

[ADAPT: One sentence grounding this in your audience — desk workers, people who lift and feel stiff, people in their late 30s or 40s who can feel the gap opening between what they could do and what they can do now.]

Don is 65 and has been doing martial arts for most of his adult life.

For years he combined martial arts with weights. The weights gave him muscle. They also cost him range of motion — and eventually kept causing injuries that forced him to stop all training for four to six weeks at a time.

"Weights slowed me down big time doing martial arts."

He tried different calisthenics programmes before finding The Movement Athlete. Kept getting injured on those too. The reason, as he figured out later: none of them were personalised. The progressions were calibrated for an average person, not for where he actually was.

TMA's assessment placed him at the beginning — which was a blow to his ego given how long he had been training. He stayed with it. Here is what he found: starting at your actual level and progressing in small controlled steps is the only way to build strength that does not break things down. Each step is around 5–10% harder than the last. Joints adapt alongside muscles. No compensation patterns, no grinding through pain.

"I tried just about everything in my life. This is the very best way to get in the best shape that translates to real life."

This matters for anyone whose training history has left them with niggles, stiffness, or the quiet sense that the approach that worked at 25 is no longer working. The system was built with physiotherapists as part of the team. It is designed around joint health as a given, not an exception.

If that is where you are — a history of training, a body asking for something different — the seven-day trial is worth the week.

[ADAPT: One sentence about your own relationship with flagging promotions — you do not usually do it, you do it when it is worth it, or however you genuinely approach this.]

The Movement Athlete has a promotion running right now.

[ADAPT: Insert the exact promotion details TMA has confirmed to you in writing — the offer, the price if applicable, and the exact close date. Do not paraphrase, do not assume, do not add to it. Use TMA's confirmed wording.]

I have written about TMA before, so you know why I think the programme is worth trying. The short version:

It is a personalised calisthenics app — assessment first, daily workouts built from your actual data, progressions that move in small, manageable steps. 100,000+ members across 47 countries. 4.8 stars. Built with physiotherapists and gymnastics coaches. Backed by the LEAD Sports Tech Accelerator — run by the Adidas family and ex-Red Bull executives.

The promotion closes on [DATE TMA GIVES YOU]. No later. Your link is below.

Covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee regardless of when the promo closes.

1. What members actually say (and why this keeps surprising me)
2. A few of the real results worth reading
3. Still thinking about it? Read these.

If you have been thinking about The Movement Athlete, here are some real things members have said — not selected for drama, just for honesty.

"My mobility has improved significantly. I finally can touch my toes, my hamstrings are not tight any more, and finally can lift my kids without pain." — Matt

"I have developed a surprising amount of strength, and I just feel so much healthier and more energetic after starting the programme." — Michael

"It's like a game, with levels and all that, so that was a bit exciting, it was very interesting to see." — William

"My life has gotten simpler in terms of training when I can rather than stressing about not making the gym or scheduled workouts." — Phil

The range here is deliberate. Matt needed mobility. Michael wanted strength and energy. William wanted to enjoy training. Phil needed it to fit around his life rather than fight it.

One programme, assessment-based, adapting to each person from day one.

[ADAPT: If you have your own one-line reaction to any of these — why one of them sounds familiar to your situation or your audience — a sentence here makes the block land harder.]

Whenever you start, you are covered by the 60-day money-back guarantee once you are in.
