Purpose
The exercises are excellent and well documented, but browsing nearly two thousand of them in an app is slow. Every page here is the same exercise, laid out so you can get from “what should I train today” to a video and its technique without digging. It is a personal project, published so others can use it too. It is not a business, it carries no advertising, and nothing on it is for sale.Ownership
Every exercise, video, photograph and word of instruction on this site is the work of Calistree and remains their property. Not ours. We claim no ownership, no authorship and no affiliation. Calistree publishes its exercise library freely so that anyone can train with it, under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. This collection is meant as an acknowledgement of that work, not a substitute for it. Every exercise page links back to the original, and every demo video plays directly from Calistree’s servers. If you train from this site, the credit is theirs. The Calistree app does a great deal more: it logs your workouts, builds routines and training plans, and tracks your progress. If it helps you, support the project with a PRO subscription in the app.Muscle maps
The muscle maps show Calistree’s muscle-group data on the Muscles front and back drawing by OpenStax and Tomáš Kebert. It has been recoloured, with its muscles grouped to match Calistree’s, and is used under CC BY-SA 4.0.What this site does not do
- No monetisation. No advertising, no affiliate links, no sponsorship, no paywall, no tracking or analytics sold to anyone.
- No claim of originality. Nothing here is presented as our own writing.
- No paywall circumvention. Everything here comes from Calistree’s free, public web library. Nothing from paid features or behind a login is included.
- No substitution. Calistree remains the canonical source, with newer exercises, routines and training plans.
Not medical advice
Exercise carries a risk of injury. Read each exercise’s form tips and risks, progress gradually, and stop if something hurts. If you have an injury or a medical condition, check with a professional before you start.To the author
If you are from Calistree: this was built out of genuine appreciation for the library and the work behind it, and it is offered in that spirit. If you would like any change to how your work is presented, credited or linked, we will do it.Contact
