GYM RPG is a workout tracker and fitness RPG that turns your real training into boss battles. Log your lifts and calisthenics, earn XP and level up a character that grows as you do. YOUR REAL WORKOUTS POWER YOUR CHARACTER Train 8 muscle groups: Arms, Legs, Chest, Back, Core, Shoulders, Glutes and Stamina. Every workout you log raises your stats, so the harder you train in real life, the stronger your character gets. Weightlifting, bodyweight, calisthenics, powerlifting and timed cardio like running, cycling and rowing all count. PARTY BOSS RAIDS WITH FRIENDS Form a party and take on bosses together. Every finished workout deals real damage. Your party fights one boss together and each member takes a turn per day. Train that day and your hit counts, so everyone helps everyone keep showing up. PICK YOUR CLASS Choose Ninja (swift, precise and agile) or Mage (stability and endurance). Your class shapes your gear progression as you train different muscle groups. SKILL TREE Spend skill points on attack, defense, health and gold branches. Your level and muscle stats earn the points, and the tree powers your boss fights. PET COMPANIONS Adopt a pet that lives on your home screen, reacts to your workouts and keeps you company on rest days. Start with a free cat, or adopt a frog or penguin with gems. Tap your pet once a day for a small reward. STREAKS THAT FORGIVE A BAD DAY Keep your workout streak alive, set a streak goal and earn gems when you reach it. Streak freezes cover a missed day, so one busy day does not undo your progress. DAILY AND WEEKLY QUESTS Daily quests: work out, log a meal, cheer a friend, message a friend and open the app. Four weekly quests stack on top for bigger XP rewards. NUTRITION TRACKING Log meals with food search or barcode scanning. Track calories, protein, carbs and fat. Meet your daily calorie and protein targets to earn a Nutrition Buff with bonus XP and power. WORKOUT LOG AND EXERCISE TRACKER Track sets, reps, weight and duration with a full workout history. Push-ups, pull-ups, squats, deadlifts, bench press: every exercise builds your character. SOCIAL FITNESS - Chat with your party and send cheers - Climb the friends and global leaderboards by streak or power - Unlock achievements, titles, gear, relics and cosmetics as you train WHO IS GYM RPG FOR? - Gym beginners who need a reason to keep showing up - RPG fans who want fitness to feel like a game - Lifters, calisthenics athletes and home gym users - Anyone who trains better with friends keeping them accountable Download GYM RPG and turn your next workout into a boss fight.

About

LEVL

Features
Read full description

LEVL turns your training log into a game. Every set you log becomes XP, moves six stats and builds toward a level and a rank. Everything is built from the sets and sessions you log. TRAIN • Log lifts with weight, reps and effort, or cardio with time and distance. • Build Workout Days and run them set by set, with a rest timer. • Tap your last numbers for an exercise to load them again. • See your numbers over time: overview, strength, volume and history. • Work out estimated one-rep maxes, percentages, plate loading and warm-up sets. YOUR PLAYER • A 3D character shaped by your six stats: strength, power, endurance, vitality, mobility and discipline. • Change your look: headgear, back gear, weapon, aura, emotes, colours, title and border. Try things on before you equip them. • Ranks run from Bronze to Grandmaster, and every rank is earned by training. COMPETE • Challenge a friend to a duel. Most XP logged over the duel's days wins, and the server keeps the official score. • Practise any time against simulated challengers, and climb the practice ladder. No account needed. • With an account, see live boards of real LEVL players. CHECK IN • One tap takes two photos together: what you're training, and you. On iPhones that can't run both cameras at once, LEVL takes them one after the other. • Post to your friends or to everyone. Attach the workout you logged to make it a Verified Session. • React and comment. Report a post or comment, or block someone, from its menu. THE FORGE • Training earns coins, packs and materials. • Open packs. Every pack shows the chance of each rarity before you open it. • Upgrade your gear, buy cosmetics in the Shop with coins or XP, and work through the Pass. Its Premium track is unlocked with coins. • Everything in the Forge is cosmetic and paid for only with coins and XP you earn in LEVL. There are no real-money purchases, and nothing in the Forge changes your stats, rank or duel scores. ON YOUR IPHONE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. • A Live Activity with your rest countdown on the Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one. • Control Centre controls (iOS 18 and later) and Siri shortcuts. • Apple Health, if you choose: see today's steps, activity and sleep beside your training, and save finished workouts to Health. LEVL doesn't upload what it reads from Health, and it never affects XP, stats or rank. • Light and dark appearance. GUEST OR ACCOUNT Play as a guest and your progress stays on this iPhone. Create an account with email or Sign in with Apple to keep your progress in the cloud, add friends, duel friends and Check In. You can delete your account in the app at any time. Estimates such as one-rep maxes are approximations, not medical or training advice.
