FAQ
Free calisthenics and fitness tools FAQs
Common questions about using Guppy's free tools before you commit to an app.
Are Guppy's free calisthenics tools actually free to use?
Yes. The live web tools are free to use, require no account, and are meant to solve the first beginner decision before the app handles ongoing workouts and progression.
Are these tools only for workouts?
No. Some tools help with training decisions like level, workout selection, or pull-up prep. Others help with calories, macros, and BMI so nutrition supports goals like getting leaner, more defined, or more consistent.
When should I switch from the free tool to the Guppy app?
Use the free tool when you need a starting point, a calorie or macro target, a push-up progression, or today's workout. Move into the app when you want repeated daily sessions, timers, logging, and a simple plan you can stick to.
