How many push-ups in 30 seconds is a good score?
Allena places every new player with a 30-second camera-judged push-up test — the result is your Career Level. The 30-second test places you from Level 1 to Level 7, the start of a ladder that runs to 15. These are the actual placement bands the app uses; reps only count at full depth.
The placement bands
| Verified reps in 30 seconds | Career Level |
|---|---|
| 1–2 reps | Level 1 |
| 3–7 reps | Level 2 |
| 8–14 reps | Level 3 |
| 15–21 reps | Level 4 |
| 22–29 reps | Level 5 |
| 30–39 reps | Level 6 |
| 40+ reps | Level 7 |
How to read your score
Under 8: Levels 1-2. Only full-depth reps count here — chest to a fist off the floor, or it doesn't score. The honest count, not the gym-class count.
15-29: Levels 4-5. Full-depth reps held at pace — a strong entry placement.
30+: Level 6 and up. 40 verified reps in 30 seconds is Level 7, the highest the entry test awards. Past that you climb by playing — games, daily challenges, and personal bests all add Career XP, up to Level 15.
Reps are judged by camera — full depth or it doesn't count. 30 seconds, then your Level.

How many push-ups in 30 seconds is average?
Allena doesn't publish a population average — it places you against fixed bands. 8-21 full-depth push-ups in 30 seconds covers the Level 3 to Level 4 range. Fifteen clean reps is a respectable first placement.
What counts as one push-up?
Chest lowered until it's about a fist's height off the floor, body in one line, then pressed back to locked arms. Allena's camera counts reps at full depth only — half reps don't score.
Is 40 push-ups in 30 seconds good?
Yes. Forty verified reps in 30 seconds hits the entry test's placement cap — Level 7, the highest the 30-second test can award. Climbing higher happens by playing: games, daily challenges, and personal bests add Career XP all the way to Level 15.
