What it does
Mariposas turns working out into a cozy collecting game. You log real strength workouts, GPS runs(with splits and pace), and studio classes, and every workout earns a Gashapon capsule spin to hatch new watercolor pets and unlock outfits. Streaks, weekly quests, and a friends feed keep you coming back. Think Tamagotchi meets your gym log: the pet collection is the reward for real training, not just steps. It is free on iOS, with a soft pastel art style and an optional premium tier.
Free exercise guides, fitness calculators, class calorie tables and running plans, plus a gamified iOS tracker where you collect pets for every workout.
Mariposas turns training into a game, log lifts, runs and classes, keep your streak, and unlock adorable pets and outfits. Browse our free guides and tools below, then take it with you onfrom mariposas.fit
