Tales From the Guild
Rated 4.8 Stars by Real Adventurers
Every quote below is from a verified Google Play review.
As a fantasy nerd, I LOVE the inspiration, and as somebody who hasn’t worked out in years, I felt the starting point was appropriate. Having strangers give a heart for completing a daily workout feels fantastic. Gave me that little serotonin of validation.
Best workout planner I’ve ever used! Have been working out for years and this one just does it for me.
It’s honestly just so fun and so rewarding.
Originally installed as a “what the hell, why not” kind of thing. Figured I’d do the 2 week trial, then cancel before the yearly charge. Now that I have gotten to see how the quests and the plans challenge you… I will be paying the yearly subscription and keeping it.
It’s really like an RPG; they did a really good job with that. I love that there are side quests and that you can talk to other people using the app.
Excellent app. It is fun, easy to use, the workouts are solid, and the gamify aspect is done really well.
CaliQuest is such an enriching and unique experience that you can’t find in any other app… I have thoroughly enjoyed having this app and don’t plan on getting rid of it.
My abs are on fire.
The workout programs are easy to follow and scalable, so I can progress at my own pace. Every workout has a video explaining proper form without overcomplicating things. I love the app, love the community.
This app is pretty perfect in my opinion. The only thing it lacks is a guy that shows up at your house and yells at you until you do your workout. But I mean, c’mon. In all seriousness: if you’re experienced, or brand new, this is dang good.
Very well put together — a lot of thought went into creating this app! It’s been a very fun way to get me back on track.
This app has skill trees to help me keep track of what I’m learning and gives direction on what to try next. I love the gamified aspect in which you gain experience points and level up as you learn (fantasy RPG nerd here).
3 days in and my body is feeling the burn.
Great community, super supportive on your workouts and motivational. The XP system makes me want to make sure I at least do the side quests even if I’m not able to get a full workout in.
Coach Chaz is incredible, providing tips and continuously making improvements to the app.

The Skill Tree
Your Calisthenics Skill Tree
Forge your own legend.
Sixty-four skills across Push, Pull, Legs, Core, Hand Balance, and Straight Arm strength, all connected by prerequisites. If you’ve ever read a talent tree, you already know how this works.
- Foundations to Elite: start at incline push-ups and dead hangs, work your way toward planche, front lever, and one-arm push-ups.
- Every rank has a clear standard, like 20 push-ups or a 15-second L-sit, so you always know the next number to hit.
- Every skill has a video demo and form cues, so you’re never guessing what good technique looks like.

The Quest Log
Daily Quests, Streaks & Quest Lines
Build consistent fitness habits.
One short quest per day keeps the habit alive. Longer quest lines walk you level by level toward skills like the L-sit and front lever, with a big XP bonus waiting at the end.
- Daily quests take a few minutes, count toward your streak, and pay real XP.
- Streak freezes cover you when life happens. One missed day won’t erase weeks of momentum.
- Finish a full quest line and the completion bonus pays out thousands of XP.
Free to start · No equipment needed
The Campaign
Coach-Built Calisthenics Programs
A quest without a map is just wandering.
Structured bodyweight programs from the THENICS LAB team, with phased progressions for total beginners through advanced athletes. Plenty of them need no equipment at all.
- Every exercise has a video demo and a quick form tip from real calisthenics coaches.
- Programs move in phases as you get stronger, so you’re not repeating the same week forever.
- No rings? No bar? Swap any exercise in one tap for one that fits your gear, or skip the program and train Freestyle.
How It Works
Three Steps to Your First Rank-Up
Forge Your Character
Answer a few questions, test a couple of movements, and the app places you on the skill tree wherever you actually are. Pre-push-up or post-muscle-up, both are fine.
Follow the Quest Log
Your program tells you what to train today, and the daily quest keeps your streak alive. Show up, do the work, log your sets.
Rank Up for Real
The reps you log turn into XP, levels, and eventually skills you couldn’t do before. The badges, themes, and leaderboard spots are a nice bonus.
Your first rank-up is one workout away
The Coach
Built by a calisthenics coach
I have 10+ years of experience training strength, mobility and flexibility across weight training, CrossFit, yoga and, most importantly, calisthenics. After exploring countless fitness methods, I’ve found that mastering your own bodyweight not only builds strength but also enhances mobility, balance, coordination and body awareness.
I created CaliQuest to make calisthenics accessible for everyone, from beginners starting their journey to athletes pushing their limits. My goal is to build a community that moves better, feels stronger and embraces real, functional strength. Let’s get stronger together!
Coach ChazFounder, THENICS LAB
The programs run from your first push-up to advanced skill work, and exercises come with video demos and short form tips. Bodyweight-only programs mean you can start with no gear, and you can swap a movement for one that fits what you own.
Adventurer’s Handbook
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CaliQuest cost?
CaliQuest is free to use, including the skill tree and daily quests. Premium unlocks the full programs, every quest line and Guilds. The annual plan is $60 a year and starts with a 2-week free trial, or you can pay $9.99 a month.
What is a gamified fitness app?
It takes the systems that keep people coming back to games, like XP, levels, quests and streaks, and attaches them to real training. In CaliQuest the XP comes from workouts you log, and every skill rank has a rep or hold standard behind it.
How does an RPG workout app work?
You pick a program, do the workout and log your sets. Finished workouts earn XP toward your character level, and training that meets a skill’s standard counts toward its next rank. Daily quests and quest lines give you smaller goals along the way.
Do I need equipment for calisthenics?
No. CaliQuest has bodyweight-only programs, and you can swap an exercise for one that fits the gear you have. A pull-up bar helps once you start on the pull skills.
Is calisthenics good for beginners?
Yes. Every calisthenics skill has easier versions, so you build strength from wherever you start: incline and knee push-ups before full push-ups, dead hangs and scapular pulls before pull-ups. CaliQuest’s beginner programs start there.
What skills can I learn in CaliQuest?
64 skills across Push, Pull, Legs, Core, Hand Balance and Straight Arm, from your first push-up and dead hang to pistol squats, handstands, the front lever and the planche.
Can I train with friends?
Yes. Add companions, cheer their workouts in the feed and rally them when they go quiet. In a Guild, each day you train counts toward a shared weekly Expedition, and you can talk in Guild chat.
What platforms is CaliQuest on?
CaliQuest is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, and it runs in your web browser at caliquest.app.
How is CaliQuest different from other workout apps?
Most workout apps are logbooks with reminders. CaliQuest turns the same training into progress you can see: skills with prerequisites and rank standards, quest lines that build toward a signature skill, and a Guild that notices when you show up.
