If you train calisthenics or bodyweight fitness, chances are your routine draws inspiration from a variety of incredible resources:
- The structured progression charts in Steven Low's Overcoming Gravity
- The paired supersets of the Reddit BWF Recommended Routine
- Classic progression ladders like Convict Conditioning or Startbodyweight
- Modern bodyweight programming from FitnessFAQs, Calisthenicmovement, or Hybrid Calisthenics
Yet, finding a workout tracker that actually supports how bodyweight athletes train has been nearly impossible.
Most workout apps are built strictly around standard barbell powerlifting. If you try to log superset pairs (like alternating pull-up and dip progressions), or track movement evolutions (from Incline Push-ups to Ring Dips or Tuck Front Levers), generic apps get messy fast—or lock basic custom routine features behind a $10/month subscription.
And if you also enjoy daily cardio—like walking, running, biking, or rowing on a Concept2 erg—you end up needing three or four separate apps just to track your weekly fitness.
We built StrengthNotes to give you a single, unified home for all of your training.
A Flexible Journal Built for Real Trainees
Over the years, a ton of progress has been made refining StrengthNotes into a clean, paper-style notebook log. We didn't want an app that was overly rigid or locked into just one routine style. Instead, StrengthNotes gives you the freedom to log any combination of strength, calisthenics, and cardio:
1. First-Class Support for Calisthenics Progressions & Supersets
No matter which methodology you follow, StrengthNotes handles bodyweight mechanics naturally:
- Superset & Block Indexing (A1/A2, B1/B2, C1/C2): Keep paired exercise sets organized cleanly in your gym log on both mobile and desktop.
- Skill Tree Progression Links: Connect exercise steps directly to your routines so you always know your target progression variation for the day.
- Core Triplets & Accessory Blocks: Easily group anti-extension, anti-rotation, and back extension movements.
2. All Your Cardio in the Same Journal
Whether you're tracking daily walks, training for a 5k, or pulling intervals on a rower, StrengthNotes logs all your endurance work in one place:
- Walking & Hiking
- Outdoor Running & Treadmills
- Outdoor Biking & Spin Bikes
- Indoor Rowing (Concept2 RowErg & SkiErg)
With native Garmin CSV and Concept2 Logbook import tools, your device files sync directly into your daily log—merging metrics like distance, pace, stroke rate (s/m), and optical/chest-strap heart rate into your workout records.
