Who Uses Our Calisthenics App? Reported Gender and Training Goals: illustrated cover

Key findings

Of 11,652 recorded identities with completed onboarding in the observation window, 5,898 reported female, 5,696 male and 58 other. Losing weight was the most frequently selected goal, with 8,110 recorded choices.

  • 11,652 completed-onboarding identities formed the audience snapshot.
  • 50.6% reported female and 48.9% reported male.
  • 8,110 selected losing weight as their goal.

The recorded distribution

We used each identity’s latest completed-onboarding answers in the September 28–October 25, 2026 window. Gender comes from the raw answer recorded during onboarding. That matters because an automatically resolved content track can use a default value.

How to interpret these numbers

The result describes people represented by those completed records. The installed audience, active exercisers and people who left before finishing onboarding are different populations. Goal and frequency answers describe intentions; measuring later outcomes would require a matched follow-up study.

The goals people selected

Two selected identities had no recorded goal. Goals are intentions, not measured outcomes.

Intended training frequency

7,327 selected daily practice and 3,960 selected three times per week. Another 358 selected weekly; 7 had no recorded frequency. These latest onboarding answers sum to the same 11,652-identity cohort.

A practical use for the findings

Use the finding to keep both demonstration tracks easy to discover. Readers can compare the women’s guide and the men’s guide, then choose a starting level from actual movement ability. Observed practice frequency uses active user-weeks, a different denominator from onboarding intentions.

Method and coverage

For each selected identity, we retained the latest completed-onboarding record and read its original gender, goal and intended-frequency fields. All selected records included a gender answer. Two records lacked a goal. The counts reflect observed records and the identity resolution available at collection time.

The analysis uses Military Calisthenics production records. Events explicitly marked as emulator activity were excluded, while unknown status remained. Staff accounts were not comprehensively audited. Only aggregate results are published. Snapshot date: October 29, 2026.

A question for further research

A matched follow-up could compare each person’s intended frequency with completed practice during a defined later window. The study would need to keep the same identities, report missing follow-up records and specify how standalone workouts count. That design would answer a different question from comparing two separate population percentages. It could also show whether different stated goals lead people to choose different plan sequences or movement options.
