TrainWiz is a free-to-play fitness RPG mobile app that converts real-world exercise into experience points for a virtual pet, which levels up and evolves as you stay active.
What is TrainWiz?
TrainWiz is a mobile fitness game for iOS and Android that uses your phone's camera and on-device pose detection to count exercise reps and feed a virtual buddy. It takes your physical movements—squats, sit-ups, walks—as input and produces XP, level-ups, and in-game progression through a story mode and creature-collecting Dex. It's made by Zen Labo and is available from the App Store and Google Play.
Key Features
- On-device rep counting — The app detects your movements through the camera and counts reps automatically, so you don't manually log each set.
- Buddy system — A virtual pet reacts to your activity, gains XP, and evolves through three forms: Hatchling (levels 1–5), Teen (6–14), and Fully grown (15+).
- Live co-op workouts — Start a real-time session, invite a friend, and your buddies appear on screen together; accepting an invite is always free.
- Story mode & Dex — Battle through themed adventure stages and collect the creatures you defeat to fill your Dex.
- Streaks & quests — Build streaks and complete daily quests; even a five-minute session counts as a win.
- No equipment required — Designed for bodyweight moves in living rooms, kitchens, or tiny apartments.
Who should use TrainWiz?
- Anyone who struggles with workout consistency — Use the buddy system and streaks to turn 'I should work out' into a quick, rewarding session.
- Gamers and RPG fans — Enjoy leveling, evolving, and collecting mechanics that make exercise feel like a game.
- Friends and family — Use co-op sessions to work out together remotely, cheering each other on in real time.
