Flexion: Gamifying Fitness with RPG Mechanics

WORK - PLUG - PLAY

Flexion transforms real-world fitness into a dynamic RPG experience. Players work out as they already do, log their sessions, and gain in-game stats based on real physical performance.

How It Works

Work: Users follow their own workouts or adopt routines from others.
Plug: Workouts are logged into Flexion’s tracker, automatically progressing player stats.
Play: Stats impact gameplay—quests, multiplayer challenges, and loot rewards are tied to fitness achievements.

Key Mechanics

• Verified Progression: A community-driven validation system ensures fair play and immersion.
• Energy System: Encourages consistency and prevents exploitative stat farming.
• RPG Attributes: Strength, endurance, agility, and more—mirroring real-life fitness metrics.

Multiplayer & Guilds: Team-based challenges drive engagement and social interaction.

All mechanics will be based on weightlifting standards that account for weight, height, and sex.

from amateur to elite based on the weightlifting standards and other standards set by world
organizations

Not everyone does the same exercises or wants to become the same athlete. Some people are
runners, climbers, powerlifters, taekwondo practitioners ETC. These people will have different
builds and in turn, create their personalized classes. Teaming up with other players gives you a
higher chance of unlocking more things bc people min-max in IRL. Dungeons with bosses that
have run-ending mechanics like stat checks that require one player in a team to have X stat will
require a diverse team. Diversity makes the game more alive. If I’m a runner and were fighting a
dungeon boss, I’d sure be happy if there was a 3rd-degree black belt on my team

We will prioritize consistency and daily logins for progression. Limiting weekly inputs will stop frequency abusers. There is inherently no way to progressively cheat in Flexion. 

All sports will be given specific buffs and traits for players that include them in their workouts.
We can set up a system where verified instructors or teachers can confirm that a student is
indeed performing the sport but this is a key mechanic that has to be explored in depth. These
extra buffs and abilities will hopefully draw new members to try a sport for the first time.
