The track

Limited equipment does not require random programming.

Minimal proves that limited equipment doesn't mean limited results. Built for hotel rooms, home gyms, and garages with a pair of dumbbells. The same periodization and programming intelligence as every Bolder track, adapted for when a full gym isn't an option.

Bolder Minimal questions

What equipment do I actually need?

A set of dumbbells (adjustable or a few pairs), your bodyweight, and a jump rope. That's it.

How long are the workouts?

60-75 minutes. Flexibility built in for different schedules.

Can this be my primary program?

Yes. Minimal is a complete program, not a travel supplement. Many athletes run it full-time.

Is the programming as good as the gym-based tracks?

Same coaching intelligence, different tools. The stimulus is programmed, not the equipment list.

Is Bolder Minimal a separate purchase?

Bolder Minimal is part of the Bolder Athlete membership — giving you access to all 9 training tracks for one price ($39.99/mo).
