Fitness Games encourages users to reach out to friends and challenge them virtually to compete in any number of fitness activities. Challenges are available in “strength, cardio, Full body & Cross Training”.
So I thought, what better way to test the app out than to challenge my friend, Sue, from This Mama Run for Cupcakes? (Side note: Sue is a super fast runner whom I could never compete with in that arena so this could be fun.)
“May the odds be ever in your favor” Sue
Our first challenge:
“Body Weight Madness” x3
-40 squat jumps
-15 push ups
-24 walking lunges
15 v -ups
10 single leg v-ups
8 burpees
60 sec plank
Well I thought I was pretty fierce until I realized I only did the routine 1x instead of 3x. Oops! We may need a rematch.
I then challenged Sue back with custom designed Ab routine from their list of numerous exercises.
As of print time she hasn’t completed her second challenge yet. Do you think that gives me the win??
What I like about Fitness Games:
-It’s fun! They encourage” gym selfies”
-It encourages you to challenge friends that you might not have the opportunity to exercise with in person
-It brings out your competitive side
-There are a wide variety of exercise routines to choose from
-Many of the routines do not require a gym to perform
–Users can custom design a routine
-All of the exercises are demonstrated in a picture or video
What I would add:
-An option for yoga and stretching routines

What a cool app! Love the challenge idea!
We had a good time with it!
I actually completed it last night 🙂 Thanks for challenging me Deborah!!
It was fun playing with you!
I don’t know…I guess it’s all in good fun, but I don’t want to compete against my friends!
If you want some motivation it’s a fun option!
How cool. I need to find a new game to play. I am sick of candy crush…lol. I don’t know who I would challenge. …maybe my sister:)
I bet you two would have fun with it! A little different than candy crush LOL
Cool app idea! I love a little bit of fun competition :0)
It is fun and different-good motivation 🙂
I never thought of it needing a yoga/stretching category but you are SO right! That would definitely make the app better and more well rounded!
It would!
I thought that app might suck you in! Looks like fun- I am curious to read some of the other reviews. How would you challenge someone in yoga? who can do downward dog for the longest? LOL! I did yoga last night if you can’t tell! Happy Wednesday!~
I’m not sure I would challenge someone else in yoga except for to complete it but it would be nice to have some routines on there to do. I’ve been doing more yoga too lately. It really helps my hips open up.
Looks fun! I tend to workout solo, so this could be a good way to make my workouts more social!
I think it would be fun to do once in a while
Awesome review! I’ve been working on compiling a list of fitness apps to share with my clients and fans so this was perfect timing 🙂 Thanks for sharing #wowlinkup
Great Catherine! I could see how it could be useful for you. I believe there is a way for your clients to upload their info to you directly through the app. Thanks for stopping by!
Ok if you did not hear back from her I definitely think YOU WON!!!! LOL #wowlinkup
I think so too! Shh let’s not tell her 🙂
This looks like fun, especially if you have a few friends to do it with!
It could be! And yes we do need to do lunch one of these days bc I don’t think I can keep up with you on a run 🙂
Sounds like a fun app! The challenging friends is a great idea, and sounds like a great motivator to work out.
I do think some like the motivation of challenging friends and it gives you ideas of exercises that you may not have in your routine
This sounds like a fun (and challenging) app!
It’s fun and nice if you run out of ideas or need some inspiration one day!
This looks like a cool app! LOVE competition! Thanks for sharing 🙂 #wowlinkup
It is kind of cool!
Interesting! That is a great idea, and I am sure it will help a lot with keeping the motivation up! I also like that it sets challenges for you, which keeps you more accountable! I would challenge you, but it is a liiiitttel too late for me to try anything new now….I will run a mile for you instead:)
Ha ha that would be funny. I could ride my bike next to you while you run 🙂
Oh I love this! I am always telling people get into activity that you can have fun with, and this sounds like an awesome and fun fitness tool, I am on my way to check it out right now. Thanks for sharing!
It is a fun app and certainly motivating!
Let’s challenge each other sometime! My name on there is marstaples…it will be a great app when they get more people to join
Sure absolutely! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
