How to pick your first program

Cubex Fitness has 250+ structured programs — which is great, until you're staring at all of them. Don't overthink it. Three quick filters get you to the right one, and you can switch anytime without losing anything.

1. Pick your goal

Open the Workouts tab and filter by goal first. Cubex covers seven:

Pick the ONE that matters most right now. You can't chase every goal at once — the program's job is to make you good at one thing at a time.

2. Be honest about your level

Filter by Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced. The most common mistake is picking a level up. If you haven't trained consistently for the last few months, you're a beginner for this program — and that's the fastest place to make progress. You can always move up in a few weeks.

3. Match where you'll actually train

Cubex has 11 training styles and covers 24 equipment types, so filter by where you train so the program only uses what you have:

Also here: gym, CrossFit, functional, cardio, boxing, HIIT, stretching, recovery, and yoga styles — pick the flavour that sounds like something you'll look forward to.

4. Check the schedule before you commit

Open a program and look at how many days per week it asks for. Be realistic:

💡 A 3-day program you actually finish beats a 6-day program you quit in week two. For your first program, 2–4 days a week is the sweet spot. Consistency is the variable that decides results — everything else is a detail.

Every program is fully open before you start it — tap in and you can see every workout day and every exercise. Nothing is hidden behind a start button.

5. Start it — and don't second-guess

Found one that fits your goal, level, and schedule? Tap Start Journey. Your first scheduled workout lands on the dashboard, one tap away. Don't keep program-shopping — the "perfect" program doesn't exist, and the best one is the one you're four weeks into.
