Shop the Freeletics equipment and training gear. No matter what level of fitness, whether beginner or veteran, the right workout gear and equipment can make a significant difference. For beginners we have curated very specific lists for getting started.
Having the best gear is just as important as the workouts themselves. Did you know that by wearing workout gloves, you can do a few more pull-ups? Being able to protect your hands is extremely important for a Free Athlete. Proper recovery includes the use of a foam roller. The roller will help your muscle fibers recover faster, allowing you to train harder, longer.
Freeletics Starter Kit: 4 Must-Haves for Free Athletes
Here’s what you need to get started with Freeletics: A fat testing device to start measuring your progress, a solid pair of workout gloves, a durable fitness mat, and a foam roller to help with recovery. These are OUR essentials, who knows what other people suggest – however, if you look at any video EVERYONE has a mat and a pair of gloves.
We highly recommend using a fat tester since measuring has proven to significantly increase success rates. The gloves and the mat are a MUST have to help prevent injury and absorb the impact of burpees and pushups. The foam roller is the most recommended piece of recovery equipment today – you won’t regret using it!
If you are looking for Freeletics’ own training clothes, you can find their gear here!

I am a registered with a coach currently and have a few questions:
1. Can I contact my coach directly or is the Coach not actually one person/a person at all?
2. How does the Level’s system work? Do you have to beat your PB?
‘Michael,
Congrats on take the next steps! Booyah.
1. Your ‘coach’ is just a program on the app that uses your data to customize your workouts. We thought it was a person at first too =)
2. Leves are simple: Endurance is more of the beginner, Standard is intermediate, and Strength is advanced. However, its a bit of a trial and error. At first, we did the standard level workouts, but moved to endurance to work on form, and after a pair of weeks, moved up to standard.
Does that help?
You earn levels by performing workouts. Each workout has a point value you earn when you complete the workout. (You can also determine the reletive toughness of a workout by comparing the point values of various workouts). The level of an athlete does not mean anything; you don´t get a bonus when you rise to the next level, and your performance does not have an effect on your level. A level 40 athlete is not necessaty in better condition than level 4 athlete; he has just completed more Freeletics workouts. I guess the main reason for the level system is to give a motivation boost every time you rise to the next level.
I have never done anything like calisthenics before and i have been just a weight lifting type since i started high school two years ago. Is calisthenics better than weight lifting? I’ve recently had a squatting injury on my lower back and i haven’t been able to squat since. I was thinking since calisthenics is just body weight training it would be better on my body as a whole.
Depends on what your goals are. You should not try anything until that back heals. Bodyweight includes a LOT of squats, even though they are weight-free, you wont want to push it.
Again, what are your goals – from there you will need to learn what is the best approach.
