SparkMove: every workout helps your buddy grow — wherever you're starting from. Whether you're planning your first 5K, chasing a new personal best, or just trying to make movement a habit that finally sticks, pick a companion buddy — Gust (Cardio), Tor (Strength), or Dew (Flexibility) — and watch it evolve as you train, branching differently depending on how you train, not just how much. REAL TRAINING, REAL GROWTH • GPS-tracked outdoor runs and walks with live pace, distance, and route maps • Discover new places as you explore — name them and unlock a shareable card with a glowing trace of your route • Real set-by-set strength and flexibility logging that actually informs your next session • A growing exercise library across barbell, dumbbell, machine, and cable — including glute-focused machine work like Hip Thrust, Leg Press, and Cable Kickbacks • Apple Watch support — track a full workout hands-free PLAN AHEAD, YOUR WAY • Build structured training programs for bulk, cut, or maintenance phases • Planning a run? Pick a distance or draw your own route before you even lace up • Everything adjusts to where you actually are — new to training or years in A COMPANION THAT REFLECTS YOU • Evolution shaped by genuine consistency, not just points • Gear earned through real training milestones • A forgiving streak built around showing up 3 days a week — because consistency deserves more credit than perfection TRAIN TOGETHER Invite your training partners into a Training Circle. Everyone's effort counts toward one shared goal — real teamwork, real motivation. GO DEEPER WITH TRAINER PASS A 14-day free trial unlocks full post-workout analysis (splits, heart rate, pace trends), a muscle map of what you've trained and what you've skipped, Coach Mode weight suggestions that adapt to how hard each set felt, unlimited saved training programs, and the ability to start your own Training Circle. Everything else — tracking, your buddy's evolution, gear, personality — stays free, always. This is training built to keep you coming back, because you want to. Trainer Pass is an auto-renewing subscription (Monthly or Annual, see pricing in the app) that unlocks deep post-workout analysis, Coach Mode, and Training Circles. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings on your device.
