Start the program
Tap Start Program. For programs that prescribe a percentage of your one-rep max, Boostcamp asks for your starting maxes once and calculates every set's weight from them.
How do you choose a workout program?
Choosing a workout program comes down to matching five things to your situation: your training experience, your goal, the number of days you can train each week, the equipment you have, and how long the program runs. A program that fits all five is one you are more likely to finish, and finishing a program is what produces results.
Experience matters most. Beginners can typically add weight to the main lifts from one session to the next, so simple programs built on linear progression work well for them. Intermediate and advanced lifters progress more slowly and usually need weekly or block-based progression, more exercise variation, and loading written as a percentage of one-rep max or as RPE.
Goal sets the emphasis. Strength programs center on heavy compound lifts at lower reps, while muscle-building programs use more total sets across a wider range of exercises, often at moderate to higher reps; many programs blend both. Days per week should be a schedule you can keep for the program's full length, and equipment rules out any program built around a barbell, rack or machines you don't have.
Boostcamp's program library lets you filter by each of these, and every program page lists its length, days per week and time per workout before you start.
Matching your situation to library filters
Filter names match Boostcamp's Programs tab: quick chips for goal, level and days per week, and All Filters for equipment and price type. The last column is the kind of program to look for, not a specific recommendation.
| Your situation | Filters to set | Program type to look for |
|---|---|---|
| New to lifting, gym membership, 3 days a week | Beginner, 3 Days, Full Gym | Full-body program with linear progression on the main lifts |
| Training at home with only dumbbells, 4 days a week | Dumbbell Only, 4 Days | Dumbbell full-body or upper/lower program |
| Barbell and rack in a garage, 3 days a week | Garage Gym, 3 Days | Barbell-based full-body program |
| Two or more years of lifting, wants a bigger squat, bench and deadlift | Intermediate, Strength, 4 Days | Percentage-based strength program, such as a 5/3/1 variant |
| Focused on muscle size, 5 or 6 days a week | Muscle, 5 Days or 6 Days | Push/pull/legs or body-part split |
| Wants a coach-written plan without paying | Price type set to free | Any free coach program that matches the rows above |

Tips for using Program library
- Set days per week first Your schedule is the hardest constraint to change, so filter by days before goal or level. A 3-day program you complete every week usually beats a 5-day program you only half follow.
- Check time per workout Each program's Overview lists time per workout. If sessions run longer than you have, choose a different program rather than cutting exercises every day.
- Read how reviewers' gains compared to expectations Reviews note whether strength and muscle gains were below, meeting or above expectations, which tells you more than the star rating alone.
- Swap an exercise instead of switching programs If one movement doesn't suit your body or equipment, Swap Exercise replaces it while keeping the sets, reps and intensity the program prescribes.
What lifters say
★★★★★“There’s TONS of programs to choose from based on your goals, and what I LOVE is that theres so many that are free.”
★★★★★“Most have advanced concepts that have proven to be effective for strength and hypertrophy such as periodisation and progression, but it packages it in such a way that someone not in the gym space can just pick it up and run with it.”
