Gameplay Mechanics
⏰ Epoch System
Section titled “⏰ Epoch System”The game runs on a 15-minute epoch cycle. Every epoch, each player earns $GAINZ based on their total gym power relative to all other players. Emissions are shared proportionally — the higher your power, the larger your share.
- Epoch Duration: 15 minutes
- Max Unclaimed Epochs: 32 (8 hours) — if you don’t claim (or have a 🧑💼 Gym Manager active), yields stop accumulating past this cap
- Emission Scaling: Emissions scale dynamically based on total network bench count
- Season 1 Hard Cap: 35,000 $GAINZ per epoch (reached at 20,000 total benches across all players)
📈 Emission Formula
Section titled “📈 Emission Formula”Emission Per Epoch = min(35,000 x (total_benches / 20,000), 35,000)At low player counts, emissions scale linearly with the number of benches in the game. Once the network reaches 20,000 total benches, emissions cap at 35K $GAINZ per epoch (~3.36 million $GAINZ per day).
🛡️ Base Emission Floor
Section titled “🛡️ Base Emission Floor”10% of each epoch’s total emissions are split equally among all active players (per account, not per gym). This ensures all players always have a meaningful income floor regardless of the power distribution. The remaining 90% is distributed proportionally by power.
🏗️ Gym Progression
Section titled “🏗️ Gym Progression”Each gym starts at Level 1 and can be upgraded to Level 8. Higher levels unlock more bench slots, new features, and improved drop rates on packs.
| Level | Name | Benches | Upgrade Cost | Cooldown | Power Gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🚗 Garage | 6 | — | — | — |
| 2 | 🏠 Home Gym | 8 | 500 $GAINZ | 24h | 500 |
| 3 | 🏨 Hotel Gym | 10 | 1,000 $GAINZ | 48h | 1,500 |
| 4 | 🎨 Studio | 12 | 2,000 $GAINZ | 72h | 4,000 |
| 5 | 🏝️ Resort | 14 | 4,000 $GAINZ | 96h | 10,000 |
| 6 | 🏙️ Local Gym | 16 | 8,000 $GAINZ | 120h | 25,000 |
| 7 | 🏢 Fitness Center | 18 | 15,000 $GAINZ | 144h | 50,000 |
| 8 | 🏆 Premium Gainz | 20 | 25,000 $GAINZ | 168h | 100,000 |
Note: Power gates are based on base athlete power only — supplements do not count toward the gate.
🔓 Feature Unlocks by Level
Section titled “🔓 Feature Unlocks by Level”- Level 2: 🥤 Smoothie Bar (flat-boost supplements) + 🩹 Injury System
- Level 3: ⚔️ Spartacus Arena participation + 👥 Referral System (generate codes, earn referrer RR)
- Level 4: 💊 GNZ Nutrition (percentage-based supplements)
- Level 5: 🧢 Trainer System (global power boosts)
- Level 6: 🧬 Fusion Lab (combine athletes/supplements)
- Level 7: 💎 Premium Supplement Packs (Epic+ drops with small Exalted chance)
- Level 8: 🌟 Premium Athlete Packs (Epic+ drops with small Exalted chance — the only way to recruit multiple Titans, since Legendaries cannot be fused into Exalted)
Note: The Arena leaderboard is viewable at any level, but registering for a season requires reaching Level 3 on at least one gym. Similarly, you can be referred and receive a signup bonus from day one, but you must reach Level 3 to generate and share your own referral codes.
⏩ Skipping Cooldowns with RR
Section titled “⏩ Skipping Cooldowns with RR”Don’t want to wait for an upgrade cooldown to finish? Spend Roid Rage at a flat rate of 1 RR = 1 minute skipped. You can shave off any number of minutes — skip an hour, skip the whole remaining cooldown, whatever balances your RR budget against the time you’d save.
The same 1 RR = 1 minute rate applies to athlete warm-up timers.
🧠 Smart Rush
Section titled “🧠 Smart Rush”For players who want to level up fast, Smart Rush calculates the optimal cost to rush from your current level to any target level, combining $GAINZ upgrade costs and RR skip costs into a single click. You can rush multiple levels in a single transaction by clicking the gym level button on the left of the main gym screen.
🏋️ Athlete System
Section titled “🏋️ Athlete System”🎴 Pack Drop Rates by Gym Level
Section titled “🎴 Pack Drop Rates by Gym Level”Standard athlete packs (200 $GAINZ each) roll at rates determined by your highest gym level. Higher levels improve your Mythic and Legendary chances meaningfully:
| Level | ⚪ Common | 🟢 Uncommon | 🔵 Rare | 🟣 Epic | 🟡 Legendary | 🔴 Mythic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 45.00% | 30.00% | 15.00% | 7.00% | 2.50% | 0.50% |
| L2 | 44.50% | 30.00% | 15.30% | 7.20% | 2.50% | 0.50% |
| L3 | 44.00% | 29.80% | 15.50% | 7.30% | 2.90% | 0.50% |
| L4 | 43.30% | 29.40% | 16.00% | 7.40% | 3.35% | 0.55% |
| L5 | 42.60% | 29.00% | 16.55% | 7.50% | 3.75% | 0.60% |
| L6 | 41.80% | 28.60% | 17.30% | 7.65% | 3.95% | 0.70% |
| L7 | 40.85% | 27.85% | 18.20% | 7.85% | 4.40% | 0.85% |
| L8 | 40.00% | 27.00% | 19.00% | 8.00% | 5.00% | 1.00% |
Things to notice:
- 🔴 Mythic rate doubles from L1 to L8 (0.50% → 1.00%)
- 🟡 Legendary rate doubles from L1 to L8 (2.50% → 5.00%)
- L1-L3 Mythic stays flat at 0.50% — parking at L3 gives no Mythic-rate benefit, the real jump begins at L4
🔥 Warm-Up Period
Section titled “🔥 Warm-Up Period”When an athlete is first placed on a bench, they enter a warm-up period during which they earn at 50% power. Warm-up duration scales with rarity:
| Rarity | Warm-Up Time |
|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | 1 hour |
| 🟢 Uncommon | 4 hours |
| 🔵 Rare | 8 hours |
| 🟣 Epic | 12 hours |
| 🟡 Legendary | 18 hours |
| 🔴 Mythic | 24 hours |
| 🏛️ Exalted | None |
You can skip warm-up instantly by spending Roid Rage (1 RR per remaining minute). Warm-Up Skip Tokens from the Daily Locker can also be used for free.
🩹 Injury System (Unlocks at Level 2)
Section titled “🩹 Injury System (Unlocks at Level 2)”Athletes can get injured during epochs. Injured athletes earn at only 30% power. Injury chance scales inversely with rarity — common athletes get hurt more often, mythics rarely.
Injury chance per epoch (15 min)
Section titled “Injury chance per epoch (15 min)”Each healthy athlete rolls once per epoch for a potential injury. Per-epoch chances:
| Rarity | Per Epoch | Per 8 Hours (32 epochs) |
|---|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | 1.00% | 32% |
| 🟢 Uncommon | 0.75% | 24% |
| 🔵 Rare | 0.50% | 16% |
| 🟣 Epic | 0.25% | 8% |
| 🟡 Legendary | 0.12% | ~4% |
| 🔴 Mythic | 0.06% | ~2% |
| 🏛️ Exalted | Immune | Immune |
Recovery chance per epoch (15 min)
Section titled “Recovery chance per epoch (15 min)”Each injured athlete rolls once per epoch for natural recovery — same cadence as injury rolls, so claim frequency does not change your total recovery odds across a window. Per-epoch chances:
| Rarity | Per Epoch | Per 8 Hours (32 epochs) |
|---|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | 2.00% | ~47% |
| 🟢 Uncommon | 1.50% | ~38% |
| 🔵 Rare | 1.00% | ~28% |
| 🟣 Epic | 0.62% | ~18% |
| 🟡 Legendary | 0.37% | ~11% |
| 🔴 Mythic | 0.20% | ~6% |
Recovery rates are roughly 2× the injury rates at every rarity, so untreated athletes spend most of their time healthy in steady state.
Healing options
Section titled “Healing options”- 💰 Manual heal — spend $GAINZ equal to 10% of the athlete’s base power
- 🎟️ Heal Token — free heal, earned from the Daily Locker
- 🧑⚕️ Hire Physical Therapist — 1,125 RR for 7 days. Reduces injury chance by 33% across your bench AND auto-heals injured athletes during each claim using your $GAINZ balance, prioritizing your highest-rarity injuries first. Skips any heal that would exceed your $GAINZ balance. Pause any time to turn off the auto-heal — the 33% injury reduction stays on, and the 7-day timer keeps running.
- 🎟️ Reserve Heal Tokens — apply heal tokens directly to specific athletes from their detail popup. When that athlete gets injured, a reserved token auto-consumes during the claim instead of paying $GAINZ. Works whether or not Physical Therapist is active. Single-use per token: each reserved token covers one injury. Stack multiple on a Mythic/Legendary if you want extra coverage.
- 🕰️ Natural recovery — each injured athlete rolls a recovery chance once per epoch (see table above). Total recovery odds across a window are the same regardless of how often you claim.
Important: Injured athletes cannot be removed or swapped from benches. You must heal them first — no replacing an injured athlete to avoid healing costs.
💊 Supplement System
Section titled “💊 Supplement System”Supplements are consumable items that boost individual athletes. There are two tiers:
🥤 Smoothie Bar (Levels 2+) — Flat Boosts
Section titled “🥤 Smoothie Bar (Levels 2+) — Flat Boosts”| Name | Rarity | Boost |

🧢 Trainer System (Unlocks at Level 5)
Section titled “🧢 Trainer System (Unlocks at Level 5)”Trainers provide a global percentage boost across all athletes in all your gyms for 30 days. Only one trainer can be active at a time.
| Trainer | Rarity | Boost |
|---|---|---|
| Coach Z | ⚪ Common | +1% |
| Form Police | 🟢 Uncommon | +2% |
| Drill Sergeant | 🔵 Rare | +3% |
| Spartacus | 🟣 Epic | +5% |
| Atlas | 🟡 Legendary | +7% |
| Odin | 🔴 Mythic | +10% |
- Pack Cost: 1,000 $GAINZ
- Unlock Requirement: Level 5
- Building Rapport: New trainers operate at 50% effectiveness for the first 24 hours
- Re-equip: Expired trainers can be re-equipped at a cost (1,000 - 30,000 $GAINZ by rarity)
🧬 Fusion Lab (Unlocks at Level 6)
Section titled “🧬 Fusion Lab (Unlocks at Level 6)”Combine multiple same-rarity items to create a single item of the next rarity tier. Fusion is the guaranteed path to higher rarities — you pay a premium for the certainty, but you can also pull high-rarity items directly from packs with luck.
Athlete Fusion
Section titled “Athlete Fusion”| Input | Required | Output | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | 3 | 🟢 Uncommon | 100 $GAINZ |
| 🟢 Uncommon | 3 | 🔵 Rare | 250 $GAINZ |
| 🔵 Rare | 5 | 🟣 Epic | 500 $GAINZ |
| 🟣 Epic | 7 | 🟡 Legendary | 5,000 $GAINZ |
| 🟡 Legendary | 9 | 🔴 Mythic | 25,000 $GAINZ |
Supplement Fusion
Section titled “Supplement Fusion”| Input | Required | Output | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | 3 | 🟢 Uncommon | 10 $GAINZ |
| 🟢 Uncommon | 3 | 🔵 Rare | 25 $GAINZ |
| 🔵 Rare | 5 | 🟣 Epic | 50 $GAINZ |
| 🟣 Epic | 7 | 🟡 Legendary | 1,000 $GAINZ |
| 🟡 Legendary | 9 | 🔴 Mythic | 5,000 $GAINZ |
Trainer Fusion
Section titled “Trainer Fusion”| Input | Required | Output | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | 2 | 🟢 Uncommon | 1,000 $GAINZ |
| 🟢 Uncommon | 2 | 🔵 Rare | 2,000 $GAINZ |
| 🔵 Rare | 3 | 🟣 Epic | 3,000 $GAINZ |
| 🟣 Epic | 4 | 🟡 Legendary | 5,000 $GAINZ |
| 🟡 Legendary | 5 | 🔴 Mythic | 10,000 $GAINZ |
Trainer fusion uses a shallower ladder because trainer packs cost 1,000 $GAINZ (5× the athlete pack price). Requiring the same 9-input Legendary-to-Mythic jump athletes use would mean ripping ~9,000 $GAINZ in packs just to source the fusion inputs — on top of the fusion cost itself. The 2/2/3/4/5 ladder keeps total trainer progression cost in the same ballpark as athletes. Trainer fusion is also deterministic — no skip chance rolls.
Athlete and supplement fusion each have a small skip chance (3% for Common/Uncommon, 5% for Rare+) to produce an item two rarities higher instead of one. Note: no fusion path reaches Exalted — the Titan tier is pack-only (Premium Athlete Packs at Level 8 are the only way to recruit multiple Titans).
🎁 Daily Locker
Section titled “🎁 Daily Locker”A 30-day reward calendar that resets automatically. Claim one reward per day.
Free Track
Section titled “Free Track”Over 30 days, players earn:
- 2,025 $GAINZ
- 5 Athlete Packs
- 11 Supplement Packs
- Guaranteed 🟣 Epic Samson on Day 30
- 🎟️ Heal Tokens and Warmup Skip Tokens
- Roid Rage bonuses
Premium Track (2,500 RR)

- 4,250 $GAINZ total
- Guaranteed 🌟 Epic+ Athlete Pack on Day 30
- Additional trainer packs and tokens
Catch-Up
Section titled “Catch-Up”Missed a day? Pay 50 RR per missed day to catch up on past rewards.
🛡️ Franchise System
Section titled “🛡️ Franchise System”Players who max out multiple gyms to Level 8 earn permanent franchise bonuses on both global power and Premium Athlete Pack Mythic drop rate:
| Tier | L8 Gyms Required | Global Power Boost | Premium Mythic Boost | Effective Premium Mythic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🥉 Bronze | 3 | +1% | +0.5% | 5.5% |
| 🥈 Silver | 6 | +2% | +1.0% | 6.0% |
| 🥇 Gold | 9 | +3% | +1.5% | 6.5% |
| 💎 Platinum | 12 | +4% | +2.0% | 7.0% |
| 👑 Diamond | 15 | +5% | +2.5% | 7.5% |
The Premium Mythic boost stacks on top of the base 5% Mythic rate on Premium Athlete Packs (and on weekly-prize Epic+ athlete rolls). The boost is donated from the Epic share — Legendary, Exalted, and the rebirth-Exalted ramp are untouched. At Diamond tier, a Premium pack’s per-Mythic cost reaches parity with regular pack ripping at L8 (~20,000 $GAINZ per Mythic on average) while keeping the Titan chase as the unique Premium-only reward.
🏢 Multiple Gyms
Section titled “🏢 Multiple Gyms”Players can own up to 15 gyms. Additional gyms cost 10,000 RR each (equivalent to 1 SOL in the RR shop). Each gym operates independently with its own bench slots, upgrade level, and cooldowns. Your trainer boost and franchise bonus apply globally across all gyms.
🔄 Rebirth System
Section titled “🔄 Rebirth System”Once a player has all 15 gyms maxed to Level 8, a Mythic trainer equipped, and Mythic or Exalted athletes on every bench, they can trigger a rebirth — resetting all gyms to start fresh with permanent bonuses:
- +5% global power boost per rebirth
- +5% cooldown reduction per rebirth
Rebirths stack, rewarding the most dedicated players with compounding advantages.
