What is Core Buddy?
Everything you need in one place.
Core Buddy is a simple, honest fitness app built by Mind Core Fitness. Workouts, nutrition, habits, and a buddy system, all in one place. No clutter, no confusing plans. Just the stuff that actually helps you show up.
Pick a workout from 105+ exercises with full video demos. Log your food with the barcode scanner. Build daily habits and watch the streaks grow. Add your mates so you can push each other along.
Built by a father and son, for everyone who needs someone in their corner.
Features
Built to keep you moving.
Randomised workouts
105+ exercises with video demos. Pick 5 to 30 minutes, tap randomise, and get a session tailored to core, upper, lower, or full body.
No equipment needed
Bodyweight at home, or add dumbbells and kit at the gym. The app adapts to whatever you’ve got that day.
Nutrition tracking
Log your food with the barcode scanner. Track calories, protein, carbs, and fat against a target that fits your goal.
Daily habits
Build your own habits and tick them off daily. Watch your streaks grow and spot patterns on the weekly view.
Buddy system
Add friends, cheer them on, and see when they’ve trained. Knowing your Buddy is watching is what keeps you honest.

Friendly competition with challenges, badges, and a live leaderboard. Small wins that add up over time.
Progress tracking
Log body metrics, compare progress photos, and see exactly how far you’ve come. No guessing.
Fully customisable
Hide what you don’t need. Show what you do. Turn nutrition, challenges, or leaderboards on or off whenever you like.

Buddy system
Someone in your corner.
The hardest part is showing up. Add your mates, get a notification when they train, and give them a shout. Climb the leaderboard together. Earn badges. Run challenges.
This is the bit that makes Core Buddy different. You're not doing it on your own.
Make it yours
Show what helps. Hide what doesn't.
If nutrition tracking feels like too much right now, switch it off. Not bothered about challenges yet? Hide them. You can turn anything back on whenever you're ready.
Your app, your pace. No one-size-fits-all.

per yearThe story
Built by a father and son. For everyone who needs someone in their corner.
Ross used fitness to come through his own struggles. Ryan used the gym to manage his mental health. They started training together once a week, and that Buddy system became the idea behind the app. Core Buddy is what they wished they'd had along the way.
“I’m loving Core Buddy as it fits around me and lets me choose the areas of my body I want to work on. I’ve signed up for more.”
Sharon Hughes
“Core Buddy has everything you need in one place to help you stay motivated and on track.”
