Log strength, runs and walks on iPhone and Apple Watch. Your buddy grows with every workout. SparkMove turns training into a game you can keep up with. Pick a buddy (Tor for strength, Gust for cardio, Dew for flexibility), train, and watch it evolve through four stages as you earn points, gear and streaks. START FAST • One tap starts your next workout. New here? Your first workout is ready to go. • Strength and Flex programs with sets, reps, weight and rest timers, plus Digital Crown input on Apple Watch. • Run and Walk with GPS routes, pace, heart rate and splits. Pause and resume, with haptic taps at every mile or km and when you drift from your target pace. SEE YOUR PROGRESS • A muscle map shows what you trained and what you skipped. • Personal records show how much you improved, like 225 lb, up 10 lb. • Weekly streaks, workout history and shareable cards for your best lifts, runs and streaks. MADE FOR APPLE WATCH • Start and finish workouts from your wrist, even without your iPhone nearby. Everything syncs through iCloud. • An Up Next card on the Watch start screen, and a SparkMove widget for your watch face and Smart Stack. • Large, high-contrast live screens built to read mid-run. EARN SOMETHING EVERY SESSION • Buddy evolution, collectible gear, and rewards for new places you explore on outdoor runs and walks. • Training Circles: train toward a shared goal with friends. FREE AND TRAINER PASS Your buddy, its evolution and basic gear are free. New users get a 14-day trial of Trainer Pass. After that, Trainer Pass adds full report breakdowns (splits, heart rate, pace, elevation), unlimited saved programs (free plan: 3), Coach Mode (real-time weight and rep suggestions that adjust to how each set felt), and creating a Training Circle.

Moving more in everyday life doesn't have to feel like a chore. Pyron turns your daily steps into a game that motivates you to walk one more lap, take the stairs more often or simply leave the car at home. The revolutionary concept combines real movement with fun and competition: your steps from Apple Health determine your rank, your placing and your progress. You take on other players in Challenges, team up with friends to fight mighty bosses in Dungeons and face thrilling Knockout tournaments. In Clubs with up to 50 members you'll quickly find the right teammates. You don't have to sign up for anything: as a member, you're automatically part of every Clash and every club dungeon. Achievements, titles, crests, rewards and the Pyron Pass make every extra step worth it. Movement becomes something you look forward to – and an ordinary walk can suddenly become a decisive lead. Pyron brings more movement into your everyday life. With motivation, community and real competition. Try Pyron free for 14 days. After that, you keep playing with a subscription – monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage and cancel it in your App Store account settings.
