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.
⏳ Injuries accrue for up to 24 hours — longer than the yield cap. Yields stop accumulating after 8 hours (32 epochs), but injury rolls keep going for up to 24 hours (96 epochs) while a bench sits unclaimed. So if you’re away for more than 8 hours, you can return to injuries that happened after your yield maxed out — you’ll collect 8 hours of $GAINZ but may still find athletes hurt from the full time you were gone. These now show up in your claim history like any other injury. Claim more often (or hire a 🧑⚕️ Physical Therapist) to keep your bench healthy.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Water Bottle | ⚪ Common | +10 power |
| Protein Bar | 🟢 Uncommon | +25 power |
| Pre-Workout Shake | 🔵 Rare | +50 power |
| Recovery Smoothie | 🟣 Epic | +100 power |
Cost: 25 $GAINZ per pack (discounted to 15 $GAINZ once GNZ Nutrition is unlocked at Level 4)
💊 GNZ Nutrition (Level 4+) — Percentage Boosts
Section titled “💊 GNZ Nutrition (Level 4+) — Percentage Boosts”| Name | Rarity | Boost |
|---|---|---|
| Amino Tablets | ⚪ Common | +1% |
| Electrolyte Pack | 🟢 Uncommon | +3% |
| Creatine Monohydrate | 🔵 Rare | +5% |
| Samson’s Hair Tonic | 🟣 Epic | +15% |
| Ambrosia Elixir | 🟡 Legendary | +50% |
| Zeus Juice | 🔴 Mythic | +100% |
| Titan’s Nectar | 🏛️ Exalted | +200% |
Cost: 25 $GAINZ per pack
🧢 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).

🎒 Gym Bag — 100 RR
Section titled “🎒 Gym Bag — 100 RR”The entry bag. Mostly supplement & athlete packs and RR, with rarer 🎟️ Heal Tokens and Warmup Skips, and a small shot at a mega RR jackpot.
🧳 Pro Duffle — 500 RR (unlocks at Level 8)
Section titled “🧳 Pro Duffle — 500 RR (unlocks at Level 8)”The premium bag — reaching a Level 8 gym is its unlock. Drops 🌟 Epic+ supplement & athlete packs (real shots at Mythic and Titan), the exclusive items below, and a bigger RR jackpot. Like every Level-gated feature, it re-locks on Rebirth.
🎟️ Chest-Exclusive Items
Section titled “🎟️ Chest-Exclusive Items”Won from bags (and the Daily Locker) — manage them in your roster’s Items tab:
- ❤️🩹 Heal Token — instantly heal an injured athlete, no $GAINZ cost
- ⏩ Warmup Skip — skip an athlete’s warm-up, no RR cost
- 🗑️ Discard-All Token — clear every inventory athlete of a chosen rarity at once (perfect for unclogging a capped roster). Bypasses the Level 6 fusion lockout; Mythic & Titan are always protected
- ⚡ 24h Power Boost — a global power boost for 24 hours (+25% or +50%). Activate it from the Items tab when it counts — a tight weekly race, maximizing gainz for a big upgrade. One active at a time (no stacking or pausing); a chip shows the live countdown
Bags are tuned to feel rewarding while always net-draining RR over time — the big-ticket items (power boosts, mega RR) are deliberately rare chases.
🛡️ 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.
