No ads while you move
The workout player and the rest timer never show ads, so no pop-up interrupts your set halfway through.
28-day burn challenge
Three levels: Gentle (seated only), Steady and Sweat. 7 to 15 minutes a day, and the beat gets a little faster each week.
Move to the beat
A soft click on every beat (you can turn it off) and two simple pictures that switch on the beat, so you always know the next position.
Breathing cues and a big timer
A breathe in / breathe out cue and a countdown you can read from across the room. Rest screens have +15 s, skip and a preview of the next move.
See what you burn
A daily calorie ring with a goal you set, weekly calorie bars and a month calendar of active days. Calories are an estimate based on your weight.
Log your weight
Add your weight whenever you like and watch the trend line next to your workouts and streak.
A routine for every goal
Full-body burn, arms, core, legs, desk breaks and morning wake-ups, plus Quick Burn: a 3 or 5 minute top-up when the ring is almost full.
Simple and private
No sign-up, works offline, one reminder a day at the time you pick, and a home screen widget with today's calories and a start button.
FAQ
- Is Chairpep really free? Is there a subscription?
- Yes, it is free. There is no subscription, no free trial that turns into a charge and no card to enter. The app is supported by ads that appear outside the workout.
- Are there ads during the workout?
- No. The workout player and the rest timer never show ads. You may see a banner on the main screens and a full-screen ad at natural pauses, such as after you close the workout summary.
- Can I do chair cardio with bad knees?
- Most moves are done seated, and the Gentle level is seated only. Move within a range that feels comfortable and stop if anything hurts. Chairpep is a general fitness app, not medical advice, so check with your doctor if you have a knee condition.
- How many calories does chair cardio burn?
- It depends on your body weight, the moves and how long you go. Chairpep estimates it with the standard MET formula (MET × 3.5 × body weight in kg ÷ 200 per minute). For a 70 kg person a 10 minute session is roughly 30 to 50 kcal. Treat every number as an estimate.
- Will chair exercise help me lose weight?
- Regular movement can be part of a weight-loss plan, together with food and sleep, but no app can promise a result. Chairpep helps you move most days and shows your calorie estimate and weight trend so you can see what you are doing.
- Is it suitable for seniors and beginners?
- Yes. Sessions are short (7 to 15 minutes), most moves are seated, and Gentle keeps you in the chair the whole time. After each session you can say how hard it felt and the app suggests tomorrow's level.
- Do I have to stand up?
- No. Gentle is seated only. Steady and Sweat add a few moves where you stand while holding the back of the chair.
- Do I need an account or internet?
- No account and no sign-up. Workouts work offline, and your workout history and weight entries stay on your phone.
