Freeletics is a Munich based fitness start-up founded by Andrej Matijczak, Joshua Cornelius and Mehmet Yilmaz[1] in 2013, it uses the Freemium business model. Freeletics is a trademark of Freeletics GmbH.
Freeletics is becoming a bodyweight only trend sport in the fashion of CrossFit. Freeletics' exercise programs are both for individuals or groups who complete daily workouts posted by email or via mobile app. Email registration, a "Free Training App" for iOS,[2] or Android[2] a "Freeletics Basic Package" workout program and grassroots community activities are free of charge.
Programming and usage
editFreeletics describes its strength and conditioning program as "a set of predefined high-intensity workouts".[3] The workouts use body weight only and always are performed as fast as individually possible. They appear similar to the ones used in CrossFit, without any weights or machines. The complete workouts are typically short — 30 to 45 minutes or less — and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. Such movements as sprinting, stretching and many bodyweight exercises are combined and mixed in numerous combinations to form prescribed sets of "High-Intensity Workouts of the Day" or "HIWODS". Most Freeletics HIWODS do not require any equipment, for others a pull-up bar, a wall or some sort of running track is to be used. Also important for the outdoor workout can be a floor mat to protect the elbows and training gloves for people with sensitive hands[4] Freeletics is applicable for training both alone and in a group. Freeletics has bodyweight only strength and conditioning workouts with varied functional movements performed at high intensity for broad and overall physical fitness. "Workout times will be used to measure performances and progress and to compare to other athletes."[3] Some activists combine it with a vegan or low-carb lifestyle.[5][6]
Beginners workout
editA typical free beginners workout ('Aphrodite') would be a series of exercise sets, namely 50 burpees, immediately followed by 50 squats, immediately followed by 50 sit-ups, followed by descending sets of similar exercises of 40, 30, 20 and 10 times each. This particular workout does not contain any mandatory breaks. Some other workouts do contain some very short breaks, but its not common case.
