for people who don't work out

A workout app for busy people who don't work out

If every fitness app you've tried assumed you had a spare hour, a gym, and motivation on a Tuesday — this is the other kind. Five minutes, no equipment, done at your desk.

Why the other apps didn't stick

"I have no time to work out"

Most apps assume a free 45-minute block and a gym. Undesk assumes five minutes between meetings and a chair.

"I sit all day and feel it"

Hips folded, shoulders rounded, neck forward for eight hours. The fix isn't a workout — it's interrupting the position more often.

"I always quit after a week"

Streaks break when the ask is big. A one-minute break is small enough to do on your worst day, which is the only reason it sticks.

What to look for in an exercise app when you have no time

  • Sessions under 15 minutes, with a five-minute option you'll actually use on a busy day.
  • No equipment required — a chair and a wall should be enough.
  • Beginner-friendly: guided steps and timers, not a video you have to keep pace with.
  • Office-safe movements you can do without changing clothes or drawing attention.
  • Reminders that fit your calendar instead of pinging you mid-meeting.
  • Progress that rewards consistency, not intensity.

Start with five minutes at your chair

The fastest way to find out whether this works for you is to do one break today. Six guided routines, each under a minute, no equipment and nothing to sign up for.

Common questions

What's the best workout app for someone who doesn't exercise at all?+

Look for the shortest possible session and zero equipment. If the first session takes more than five minutes or needs gear you don't own, you won't open it twice. Undesk starts at five minutes with a chair.

How do I exercise when I sit all day at a desk job?+

Frequency beats duration. A one-minute movement break every 60–90 minutes does more for how you feel at 6pm than one long session after work.

Is a five-minute workout actually worth it?+

For mobility and how your body feels at the end of a workday, yes. Short, frequent breaks interrupt the static posture that causes most desk stiffness.

Do I need to go to a gym or buy equipment?+

No. Every Undesk session works with a chair and a wall. Anything else — a doorway, a band, a sit-stand desk — is optional.
