Gentle Restart

Who it’s for

Complicated relationship with body image and past training attempts.

How it works

Zero aesthetic metrics: no body weight, no measurements, no photos, no streaks. We track progress in reps, load on the bar, and how you move. This isn't coddling, it's calculated: quality-of-life goals yield a third more adherence than weight and appearance goals, even when both are rated equally important. Exercise is never presented as working off food.

Weekly layout

How load increases

Two sets of 10 with 3–4 reps in reserve. Progress when the movement feels easy. A missed week resets nothing—pick up right where you left off.

Deload

Based on feel, no set schedule.
