XPump turns the gym grind into a battle pass. 10 fresh bodyweight quests every day. Earn XP. Level up. Unlock prestige icons every 100 levels. Chase a 90-day season goal. Don't break the streak. The grind is the whole point. No gear. No gym. No subscriptions. No accounts. No tracking. Everything lives on your device. THE LOOP Wake up to 10 quests waiting for you - press-ups, squats, planks, burpees, lunges, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, high knees, sit-ups, wall sits. Every quest you complete grants XP. Every 100 XP is a level. Every 100 levels unlocks a new prestige icon - 10 to chase, from Rookie to Legend. SEASONS Each season is a 90-day commitment. You set the level goal at the start (250, 500, 750, or 1000). Hit it, smash it, share the recap card. New season, new grind. STREAKS Show up daily. Watch the flame grow. Streaks survive season rollover - they're tracked on your character, not the season clock. Hit 7, 30, 100, or 365 days for milestone shares. SHARE WHAT YOU EARN Level up, unlock an icon, finish a season, or just brag about your streak - tap Share and XPump generates a custom achievement card you can post anywhere. Square for the feed, Story for vertical platforms. PICK YOUR HERO 7 character classes (Warrior, Cipher, Magnolia, Kage, Bruno, Elder Vesh, Anh), each with their own vibe. Customise the look, name your hero, watch them level up alongside you. FORM HELP BUILT IN Tap any exercise or stretch icon to see a built-in form guide - setup, movement steps, key cue, what to avoid. Move with intent, not guesswork. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN XPump runs entirely on your iPhone. We don't operate any servers. We don't have user accounts. We don't measure analytics. We don't use third-party SDKs. We don't track you. Ever. Your character, your XP, your streak - all yours, all local. Free. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No tracking. No excuses. REQUIREMENTS iPhone, iOS 17 or later. Dark mode only. iPhone-only - this is a gym-bag app, not a desk app. A NOTE ON SAFETY Listen to your body. Stop if it hurts. XPump is for fun and motivation, not medical advice. Talk to a pro before starting any new exercise routine.
