Not a claim, a count. These are the figures behind the library as it stands today.

Put it next to everyone else.

Two things matter in a training library: how many movements it can actually show you, and how many finished sessions a coach has already written. Here is where this one sits on both.

Animated exercise libraries

Independently verified movement counts, in strength-training apps

Animated exercise library size: Pete Gawtry Fitness compared with six other strength-training apps.

4JefitExercise database 1,400+
5FitloopExercise database 1,000+
6HevyExercise database ~400
7StrongExercise database ~200
Competitor figures independently researched in 2026, each one traced back to the app's own published number. MuscleWiki lists roughly 1,900 movements through its database, of which about 1,700 are filmed. This is the largest independently verified animated exercise library we could find — one app, Load Muscle, self-publishes 4,000+, but no independent review of the 2026 market corroborates it, so it is not ranked here. Every one of our 2,172 has its own animation: counted from the live library rather than a spreadsheet, and you can open any of them in the app and check.

Coach-programmed session libraries

Finished, ready-to-train sessions written by a coach — not uploaded by users

1PG FitnessOne coach's system 8,840

4FitbodBuilds the session on the spot None to browse
Fitbod has a large exercise database but no library of finished sessions: the workout is assembled the moment you press start, so there is nothing to look at beforehand. Ours all exist. You can read the whole session before you lift anything.
7× More than seven times the size of the largest coach-designed session library anyone else publishes. That is the whole claim, and it is the only number that needed a qualifier.

“But I've seen bigger numbers than that.”

You have, and they are worth naming rather than hiding, because they measure something different:

  • 28,371Jefit's full catalogue — community-uploaded. Anyone with an account can post a routine.
  • 11,000+Boostcamp — also community-uploaded.

Those are marketplaces — duplicates, abandoned drafts, nobody checking. Strip a community catalogue back to what its own trainers actually designed and you get Jefit's 1,400+, which is the honest like-for-like comparison and the one on the board above.

Filmed class libraries — Peloton, Apple Fitness+ — are a different product again: video sessions you follow along to, not structured sessions you execute and log. Good things. Not this thing.

25 disciplines

Whatever you actually train.

The library is not one style of training scaled up. It is twenty-five separate disciplines, each with its own sub-categories, its own progressions and its own way of being written — from a six-day push-pull-legs rotation to Hyrox prep, strongman carries, rehab work and yoga.

Twenty-five disciplines, 132 sub-categories underneath them. Tap any of them to start the finder.

Not a spreadsheet

All 2,172 of them move.

The easiest way to pad a library is to add names to a list. Every single exercise in here has its own animation showing the movement done properly — no stick figures, no paragraph of text standing in for a demonstration. Tap any of them.

And the app knows how each one is supposed to be logged.

A plank is not measured in reps and a farmer's carry is not measured in kilos alone. Twelve logging types, one per movement, so the numbers you record actually mean something.

  • Reps & loadSets, reps, weight lifted
  • Reps, bodyweightSets and reps, no load
  • Timed holdSeconds under tension
  • Reps, bandReps against band tension
  • IntervalWork and rest, on the clock

Six questions

8,840 down to yours.

A library this size is useless if it hands you the whole thing. Six questions narrow it to a short list of three to eight sessions that fit your goal, your kit and the time you actually have — then Pete tailors what you picked and signs it off before it becomes your plan.

  1. What is your #1 goal right now?Muscle, strength, fat loss, a sport or race, or moving better after a setback.
  2. How would you describe your experience?Beginner, intermediate, or advanced — it changes the whole shape of the session.
  3. What equipment can you reliably use?Bodyweight, a home setup, a commercial gym, a hotel room, or outdoors.
  4. How many sessions a week?One or two through to six-plus. This decides the split, not just the volume.
  5. How long should each session take?Fifteen minutes to ninety. The honest answer, not the ambitious one.
  6. Want to narrow it further?Pick a sport or event, prioritise a body part, choose a named method — or just see the best all-round options.

Start the finder

Six questions, about a minute. You come out the other side with a short list you can actually choose from — or hand the lot to Pete and let him pick.

The other route

Or build it yourself and let Pete finish it.

If you already know what you want, skip the questions. Set the focus, the split, the days, the kit and the emphasis, and the library assembles a week to match. Pete then reads it, adjusts what needs adjusting, and puts his name on it. You choose — Pete perfects.

Nothing in the app is ever left to chance. Every plan a client trains has been through him.

32 multi-week programmes

For when you want a block, not a session.

A single session is a day. A programme is a decision about the next three months — a weekly split, a progression model and a finish line. Thirty-two of them, in three lengths.

6 4-week programmes

A short block. Enough to fix one thing properly, or to get moving again after time off.

14 8-week programmes

The workhorse length. Long enough to change how you look and what you lift, short enough to stay committed to.

12 12-week programmes

A full training block with proper peaking and a deload built in. This is where the big changes happen.

14 diet profiles

The eating is paired to the training.

You cannot feed a strength block the way you feed a cut, and a Hyrox athlete does not eat like someone eight weeks into a hypertrophy phase. Every discipline in the library is mapped to the diet profiles that suit it, so the food side moves when the training side moves.

  • Hypertrophy Bulk
  • Body Recomposition
  • Aggressive Cut
  • Ketogenic Cut
  • Endurance High-Carb
  • Hybrid / Hyrox Fuel
  • Powerlifting Strength
  • Strongman Mass
  • Olympic Performance
  • Yoga / Mobility Fuel
  • Beginner / General Health
  • Senior / Longevity
  • Pregnancy Fuelling
  • Recovery / Deload

Straight answers

The obvious questions.

What does “coach-programmed” actually mean? Expand
Every session was written as a session — sets, reps, tempo, rest, exercise order, how it progresses week to week — before anyone opened the app. It is not a pile of exercises you assemble yourself, and it is not a community board where anyone can upload a routine. One coach built the system.
Do I get the whole library? Expand
You get the part of it that fits you. Six questions cut 8,840 sessions down to a short list, then Pete tailors what you picked and signs it off. Nothing is locked — you can go back and take a different route whenever your training changes.
Is every exercise really demonstrated? Expand
Yes. All 2,172 exercises have their own animation of the movement, counted from the live library rather than off a list — it is the same number the app's own exercise screen shows, so you can check it yourself. No stick figures, no written description standing in for a demonstration.
How is this different from an app that builds the session for you? Expand
Apps that assemble a session at the moment you press start have nothing for you to browse, because the workout does not exist until then. Every session here already exists, can be read in full before you train it, and was written by a coach who then adjusts it for you.
Where does the nutrition side fit? Expand
Fourteen diet profiles are paired to the training, so the way you eat matches the block you are in. A strength phase and a fat-loss phase are not fed the same way, and the app does not pretend otherwise.

Let's find yours.

Six questions, about a minute, and you will have a short list of sessions built for your goal, your kit and your week. Pete reads every one before it becomes your plan.
