Ground. Work. Grow.
You already own
a gym.
66 things across 4 spaces. 111 ways to train. Photograph the room and name what is in it. Groundwork works the second figure out of the first — what reaches what, what you can get to, what combines with what. Nothing is guessed.
Min max your life.
One thing. Not every day, not everything.
Behind these words: one real garage, drawn from a photograph of it.
Work · three moves
- 01Snap the spaceOne photo of the room, or a few. Nothing to set up first.
- 02Name what you seeOne per line, and the photo is the evidence.
- 03See what it does togetherOne kettlebell is six movements, not one thing you own. Push the rack against a wall and the back squat goes; the pull-up bar, the grip work and the landmine stay.
Ground · the room is the model
Move something. Watch every room change.
Pick a thing, then tap a room. The scores are the real model run twice, before and after, on one real record — the same answer the app gives when you actually move it.

It does not go there — there is no room for it there. The record knows the difference between a thing you carry and a thing two people move on a Saturday.

Every figure is the real model run twice, before and after — the same answer the thing’s own card gives. Nothing moves until you say so.

Gymnastic ringsand 33 moreThat garage was measured with a tape: 16 × 20 ft, 8 ft to the joists, and the rack against the right wall. No photograph can answer any of those, and every figure above depends on them.
One thing, and everything it touches
Olympic weight plates load the Olympic barbell for five lifts the index counts, and on their own they do four more — plate carry, ground-to-overhead and plate pinch holds. 25 other things here reach the same movements their own way.
Three things from that garage, as the app draws them — push the row sideways. Every line is worked out from the record. Give the belt a job and watch its card change.
