Grit Saga turns your real fitness progress into an RPG character. Scan your body, and Grit Saga builds a pixel-art avatar that reflects your actual physique — chest, arms, shoulders, abs, legs, all scored from your photos. Train consistently, and your character levels up for real: stronger muscles unlock a stronger-looking hero. Fight weekly bosses shaped like your bad habits — Couch Potato, Snack Warlock, Screen Zombie — and defeat them through real workouts, not taps. Duel friends over a 7-day XP race. Track your food, your training, and your recovery in one place, and check in daily with The Chronicle, a simple mood and energy diary. Your AI Coach knows your scan history, your streaks, what you've eaten, how you've trained, and how you've been sleeping — so its advice is actually about you, not generic tips. Grit Saga is built for people who want fitness to feel like progress they can see, not just numbers on a scale. FEATURES • AI-powered body scan → personalized pixel-art avatar • Weekly boss battles tied to real workouts • 7-day XP duels against friends • Fuel, workout, and recovery tracking in one app • Daily diary with mood and energy check-ins • AI Coach with full context on your progress • Leaderboards and streaks to stay consistent GRIT SAGA PRO Unlock the full experience: • Weekly body scans with avatar regeneration, depending on your progress • AI Coach, 25 messages a day • Streak freeze, so one bad day doesn't cost your progress • Radar chart history to see how your body has actually changed • Duo challenges and rivals • Full transformation timeline • Meal photo recognition • Seasonal rankings • Custom avatar cosmetics Terms of Use: https://gritsaga.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://gritsaga.com/privacy
