Run one of these?

We do not have a dedicated brand on this shelf yet — the game above is the closest fit we run today. If you operate here, the fastest route is your own branded game.

Coming to this shelf: Independent operators host their own via CYOC — no fixed brand shelf needed. Want yours first? Tim@cadoo.io.

Fitness games, by category

Every category feels a different version of the same problem: the customer stops moving, and the brand stops being part of her week. Here is what a branded game does about it — pick the shelf you live on.

Wearables & Recovery

Fitness Games for Wearables & Recovery

The band measures everything and moves no one. Data-rich, action-poor — and when the daily score stops feeling like a reason to train, the subscription is the next thing to go.

Turn the metric into a game

Readiness, strain and sleep stop being charts and start being the reason she trains today — inside a game wearing your name.

Verify what the wrist cannot see

Pushups, squats, situps, dips and pullups are counted on camera. Steps sync straight from the device. Nothing runs on the honor system.

Give the subscription a job

A member playing your weekly game has a live reason to keep paying past month three — the renewal defends itself.

Studios & Gyms

Fitness Games for Studios & Gyms

You own the hour she is in the room and lose the six days she is not. Lapse, not cancellation, is what quietly kills LTV — you never lost her heart, you lost her calendar.

Stay her coach between visits

Verified home workouts under your name on the days she cannot get in — the relationship survives work, kids and travel.

Free to join, earned not bought

A front-desk QR opens your branded game. No purchase, no points card: she earns the reward in sweat, and every rep is proof.

The reward walks her back in

What she earns becomes credit with you, and the clip in her group chat brings a friend whose first visit happens at her side.

Apparel & Footwear

Fitness Games for Apparel & Footwear

Fitness became fashion. The brand lives in the fit pic and the drop, not in the workout — which makes the connection aesthetic, seasonal and easy to switch.

Your kit is the outfit in the clip

Every camera-verified workout renders wearing your skin — the look and the work in one shareable, not a logo stuck on a stock photo.

Proof-of-work UGC, not ad spend

Real reps, real sweat, posted by the athlete because she is proud of it. The marketing is the workout.

Make them earn the drop

Tie a release or a reward to verified work instead of a refresh button — scarcity that means something.

Equipment & Connected Fitness

Fitness Games for Equipment & Connected Fitness

The hardware sale is one moment; usage is the whole business. Idle equipment is a churned subscription, a dead referral, and a returned unit waiting to happen.

Streaks that need the machine

Games built around showing up turn a purchase into a habit — and a habit into a renewal.

The relationship travels

Camera-verified bodyweight work counts on the road, so a hotel week does not break the streak or the subscription.

Owners become the demo reel

Every completion renders a branded clip and card. Your best marketing is the customer who actually uses it.

Races & Events

Fitness Games for Races & Events

You own registration day and race day, and almost nothing in the sixteen weeks between — the exact window where the did-not-start is decided and where sponsor value is invisible.

Make the build-up a season

Training blocks become verified games under your name, so the months before the start line belong to the event.

Registrants train together

A shared scoreboard and branded receipts turn a mailing list into a cohort — and cohorts show up on race day.

Year-round presence, repeat entries

One weekend becomes twelve months of branded proof-of-work, feeding next year’s registration and your sponsors’ reach.
