Key findings
One completed-workout day was the most common pattern in our four-week app snapshot: 5,278 of 11,407 active user-weeks, or 46.3%. The distribution describes recorded practice between September 28 and October 25, 2026.
- 11,407 active user-weeks across four complete UTC weeks.
- 46.3% of active user-weeks contained one completed-workout day.
- 1.0% contained completions on all seven days.
The recorded distribution
Count a training day once even when several workouts were completed on it. Count each recorded person separately in each Monday-to-Sunday week. An active user-week contains at least one completion; a person active in all four weeks contributes four observations.

| Completed-workout days in a week | Active user-weeks | Share of active user-weeks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5,278 | 46.3% |
| 2 | 2,379 | 20.9% |
| 3 | 1,597 | 14.0% |
| 4 | 1,003 | 8.8% |
| 5 | 698 | 6.1% |
| 6 | 334 | 2.9% |
| 7 | 118 | 1.0% |
How to interpret these numbers
The distribution gives a concrete picture of recorded practice among active weeks. Use it when discussing how often people returned to completed sessions in this app. Weeks without completions fall outside the selected population, and the same person may contribute several active weeks.
A practical use for the findings
For your own schedule, choose a workload you can repeat and leave room for recovery. The frequency guide turns that into a practical weekly decision. For a first visit, use the beginner guide.
Method and coverage
We grouped production completion events into UTC dates and weeks, including plan and standalone sessions. The September 28–October 25 window contains four full weeks. A completion records progression through the player; physical execution and exercise quality require other measurements.
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 follow-up could separate plan sessions from standalone workouts, then track the same identities across active and inactive weeks. That would answer whether the distribution changes with the type of practice and whether someone returns after a quiet week. The present table can serve as a baseline, provided the next comparison uses the same UTC boundaries and a clearly stated population. A change in who enters the sample can change its distribution.
