It's the lowest-friction way to stay physically functional while building a company.

FAQs

Why is there no workout library?

Decision fatigue is the main reason people stop using fitness apps. Baseline removes the decision entirely. The system picks your session based on what you need.

How much does it cost?

$9.99 for the first year. That covers mobility, bodyweight strength, and breathwork. Three disciplines, one app.

Do I need equipment?

No. Everything is bodyweight. Works in your living room, a hotel, or wherever you are.

How long is a session?

Around 15 minutes. Mobility, strength, and breathwork combined. Short enough to do every day, long enough to matter.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing. No streaks, no guilt, no notifications. The system resets every day. Just show up when you're ready.

Is this just stretching?

No. Baseline covers three disciplines: mobility, bodyweight strength, and guided breathwork. It's a complete daily movement practice.

What if I already go to the gym?

Baseline isn't a gym replacement. It's the 10 minutes of movement you do on the days you don't go, or as a warm-up on the days you do.

Why can't I choose my own exercises?

Because choosing is the problem. Most fitness apps give you a menu. Baseline gives you a system. You press start, do the work, and get on with your day.
