A move-to-earn fitness app. Track every run and workout, earn GYM tokens, and spend them in a social marketplace built for the grind.
Athlerse is a move-to-earn fitness ecosystem. The mobile app is where it all happens: you track a run or a workout, watch your GYM tokens stack up, climb the leaderboard, and spend what you earn.
I designed the full app, from onboarding to a live run tracker to a token-powered marketplace and a social feed that turns solo miles into a community.
Most fitness apps ask a lot and give back little more than a chart. The novelty fades, the streak breaks, and there is no real reason to lace up tomorrow, nothing to show for the miles you already ran.
The result: motivation that runs on willpower alone, and an app that quietly stops getting opened.
Charted the core loop that makes the app sticky: move, earn GYM tokens, spend them, compete, then come back and do it again.
Made the run tracker and the dashboard the heart of the app. Everything else, social, shop, and profile, orbits those two.
Laid out thumb-friendly screens for one-handed use, with big targets and a live timer you can read at a glance mid-run.
Built a purple-forward system with playful 3D moments and hybrid light and dark screens, all tuned for energy.
Activity rings, steps, calories, and GYM earned sit up top. The home screen answers the one question people open the app to ask: am I making progress?
A big live timer, distance, calories, and pace on one face, a basic and a map view, and a single thumb-sized control to pause. No menus mid-run.
Every kilometre and calorie converts to GYM tokens, a currency you can genuinely spend, so effort compounds into something real.
Giftcards, Web3 collectibles, and real brand offers, all priced in GYM. The shop gives the grind a destination.
A discover feed, global leaderboards, and an airdrop board turn solo runs into friendly competition and give the numbers an audience.
A purple-forward system with 3D moments and hybrid light and dark screens, tuned to read at a glance while you are moving.
A move-to-earn loop
The app turns a workout into a loop worth repeating: move, earn GYM tokens, spend them, climb the board, and come back tomorrow. Motivation stops being willpower and starts being a game you want to keep playing.
The best fitness app is not the one with the most charts. It is the one you actually open tomorrow. Notes on move-to-earn fitness, 2024
