Choosing a program
Why is Performance 01 free?
Because good training structure shouldn't sit behind a paywall. Performance 01 is the complete program — guide, scaling system and tracker — with no payment, no account and no trial. If it helps you, the best thing you can do is share it.
How do I know which program is right for me?
Check the prerequisites on each program page, or use the program finder. If you can do 5 or more strict pull-ups, 6 or more dips and 10 or more push-ups, start with Performance 01. If not, start with Foundation.
Is this suitable for my level?
Each program lists clear entry standards. If you are below them, the program will be too hard to follow as written; if you are well above them, it may not challenge you enough. We'd rather tell you that before you start.
What's the difference between four and eight weeks?
Four-week cycles teach a skill set and build base volume. Eight weeks gives enough time for a test, build weeks, a deload, a peak and a re-test — a complete training cycle.
How much equipment do I need?
A pull-up bar for every program. AEP Performance 01 also needs parallel bars or a dip station — most outdoor calisthenics parks have both. Each program page lists exact requirements.
Access
How do I get the program?
Enter your email on the program page and your access page opens straight away, with the guide and the tracker. Bookmark that page — it's your link back to the program.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The guide is laid out to be readable on a phone at the park and prints cleanly on A4 or US Letter. The tracker is a web app: add it to your Home Screen and it works like an app, offline too.
Where is my tracker data stored?
Only on your device, in the browser you use. Nothing is sent to us. Use the tracker's Data tab to export a backup, for example before changing phone.
Does the program include personal coaching?
No. AEP programs are self-guided. Rep targets are scaled to your own test results, but the programs are not individual coaching.
Can I share it?
Yes — share the program page with anyone it might help. Please don't sell or repackage the files.
Training
Can I follow a program if I have an injury?
Not without advice from a qualified medical or rehabilitation professional. AEP programs are not designed for injury rehabilitation.
What results can I expect?
That depends on your starting point, consistency, sleep, nutrition and recovery. We don't promise specific numbers. Each program includes a benchmark and a re-test so you can measure your own progress.
