PushArena is a Solo Leveling-inspired pushup arena. Fight bosses, duel real Hunters live 1v1, and climb from E-Rank all the way to S-Rank — every rep making your Hunter stronger, and you along with them. This is not another workout app. It's a game where the reps are real. HOW IT WORKS Your front camera tracks pushup form using on-device pose detection. No video is recorded or uploaded — everything runs on your phone. Every clean rep counts toward your Hunter's progression, your boss damage, and your live match score. BOSSES & GATES - Clear 35 unique gates spanning ranks E, D, C, B, A, and S - Each boss has custom HP, lore, and reward drops - First-time clears reward more than replays - Time-limited gates from C-Rank up — pace your reps or the gate closes ONLINE BATTLES - Real-time 1v1 pushup duels — most reps in 60 seconds wins - Quick match by rank or invite a friend directly - Rank points feed the Global Leaderboard - Climb the ladder from Iron to Diamond FRIENDS & LEADERBOARDS - Add friends by share code or by name - Compete on a Friends Leaderboard separate from the world - Battle invites with one tap HUNTER PROFILE - Choose your character avatar - Track total pushups, gates cleared, online wins, streaks - Rank up by earning rank points FOCUS SHIELD — OPTIONAL Want to tie training to your daily habits? Turn on the Focus Shield during onboarding and PushArena blocks distracting apps — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and more — until you earn them back with reps. Every pushup credits screen-time seconds. Every boss cleared unlocks minutes. Every online win adds bonus time. Tap UNLOCK to spend your balance; the shield returns automatically when the timer runs out. Tap LOCK anytime and unused seconds go back to your balance. Uses Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls — nothing behind your back. You can skip it entirely and just play the game. PUSHARENA PRO PushArena Pro unlocks the full experience: all 35 gates, unlimited online battles, the friends leaderboard, and every character avatar. - Monthly: $12.99 - Yearly: $29.99 (best value) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

The push-up workout that plays like a game. Your camera is the controller. A live skeleton counts every clean rep. Then levels, leagues, and streaks pull you back tomorrow. Pushmaxx is a competitive push-up training game. The server deals the session. You play it. No guesswork, no honor system: if the form is not there, the rep does not count. WHAT YOU PLAY TRAINING A weekly program built around your real capacity. Progressive sets that get harder as you get stronger. DRILL A short, punchy session when you have a few minutes and want a score. CAMPAIGN Three shared tracks of 25 levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Climb the ladder. Replay anything you have cleared. LIVE BATTLE A last-one-standing 1v1. Pyramid rungs climb until someone breaks. Quick match a rival, or open a friend room. Every finished session earns XP. Climb ranks. Earn weekly league medals. Keep a streak that only counts the days you actually trained. YOUR CAMERA COUNTS On-device pose tracking draws a skeleton over you from the first calibration. Video and pose stay on your device, except in Live Battle, where you can send optional low-res video to your opponent or play skeleton-only. FULL ACCESS REQUIRES PREMIUM Onboarding and camera calibration are free. Training, Drill, Campaign, Live Battle, leagues, history, and stats require an auto-renewable Pushmaxx Premium subscription, sold as an in-app purchase.
