Cardio Dash turns your living room into an endless-runner arcade — controlled entirely by your body, tracked live through your phone's camera. Step in place to run. Jump over hurdles. Duck under obstacles. No wearables, no controllers, no extra equipment — just you and your phone. HOW IT WORKS Cardio Dash uses on-device motion tracking to read your movements in real time as you play. Motion tracking happens locally on your phone — your camera feed is never recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. TWO WAYS TO PLAY - Full Cardio Mode — step back a few feet and run in place for a real cardio workout while you play - Quick Play Mode — a lighter, upper-body version you can play close to your phone, perfect for small spaces or a quick warm-up FREE FEATURES - Endless, ever-changing running track - Timed workouts: pick 5, 10 or 20 minutes — stumbles never end your workout - Weekly minutes goal to keep you moving - Real-time body tracking — no extra hardware required - Global leaderboard, plus timed-workout leaderboards - Free to play — no ads, no account required CARDIO DASH PRO (optional subscription) - Your profile: avatar, calorie tracker with a daily goal, and personal records - Map, country and distance leaderboards, with your own name and avatar - 3 extra maps: Boardwalk, Neon City and Frost Peak - 2 extra runners: Blaze and Duke Cardio Dash Pro is $4.99 per month. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. PRIVACY FIRST All motion tracking happens on your device. Cardio Dash doesn't collect your video or photos, and there's no login and no analytics. Your camera feed never leaves your phone. Leaderboards use a random nickname; the only data sent is your score and distance totals, plus an avatar, name or country if you choose to set them.

Verdict

Immersive Workout's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 6) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
