Randomiser
Sound familiar?
You start a home workout programme. You're keen for the first fortnight. By week three you're missing sessions, by week four you've stopped. You're not lazy — the routine just wasn't built for your actual life.
Core Buddy is different. Tell it how long you've got. Hit randomise. Get a workout. Show up. That's the whole thing. No 90-day transformation plan. No 5am bootcamp pressure. No perfectionism. Turning up matters more than getting it right.
The randomiser
Tell us how long you've got. We'll build the workout.
Five minutes between meetings. Twenty-five minutes before the school run. Fifteen at 5.30am before a nursing shift. Whatever you've got, tap the randomiser and Core Buddy builds you a workout. Every session different. You'll never get bored.
It fits around your life. Not the other way round.
Whether you're working shifts, raising kids, or squeezing it in before the day starts, Core Buddy works around you.
“I won the 30-day Core Challenge and enjoyed it so much I decided to sign up. Now I’m up in the morning and straight to the randomiser — a core workout followed by another one, and I love that they’re different every day. It’s easy to use and you can work it round your own lifestyle. A pair of my jeans aren’t as tight as they were, and doing the workouts first thing sets me up for the day. It’s become part of my daily routine.”
Kim McDonald
Core Buddy user
“I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with home workouts — I’d start one and get fed up after a few weeks. Core Buddy is different. As a nurse, I can fit it around my shifts, doing a workout before or after work, and on busy days I’ll just do a quick ten minutes.”
Lyndsey Morrison
Core Buddy user
“My upper body strength is better. I work in a school kitchen and find lifting heavy pans etc easier. My running seems to have improved. Managed 29.34 yesterday at Parkrun — secretly chuffed to bits. And mentally I now start the working day with a spring in my step after my 15 or 20 minute workouts.”
Aileen MacDonald
Core Buddy user
“Core Buddy has everything you need in one place to help you stay motivated and on track. It definitely plays a big role in helping me stay consistent in hitting my habits and food goals.”

Worried about…
Not very techy?
Three taps and you’re in. If you can scan a barcode you can use Core Buddy. Katrina was worried about this — she isn’t anymore.
Won’t have the discipline?
You don’t need to. Streaks, badges and leaderboards do the work for you. Pair up with a Buddy and you’ll keep each other honest. Lyndsey was worried about this — she trains four to five times a week now.
Don’t have time?
You’ve got five minutes. Even on a nightmare day. The shortest workout is five minutes and it counts.
Worried about hidden costs?
30 days free, no card needed. £9.99/month or £49.99/year after that. Cancel any time. That’s the lot. Katrina also wondered about this — she went on to call it “worth every penny.”
Won’t do the exercises right?
Every exercise has a video demo. Pause it, rewatch it, take your time. And honestly — turning up matters more than getting it perfect. That’s the whole point.
Real changes. Real people.
“I’d always start exercise and give up easily. Now I’ve been consistent for a long time — four or five 15-minute sessions a week at 5.30am before work. Ross has changed my mindset: turning up and trying is more important than getting it right first time. Core Buddy has become part of me finding myself again. It’s helped pull me through a difficult period, and I’m finally feeling like me again.”

Your app. Your rules.
A mate in your corner. Not a coach with a clipboard.
If nutrition tracking feels like too much right now — switch it off. Not bothered about challenges yet? Hide it. You can turn anything back on whenever you're ready.
Your Buddy meets you where you are. Not where it thinks you should be.
Three steps. That's it.
The story
Built by a father and son.
Ross trains the clients and built Core Buddy from scratch — the workouts, the brand, the app. His son Ryan came onboard to help in the background, sharpening the tech so Ross could keep coaching from the front. Father and son, side by side, both in.
Questions I get asked all the time.
