Getting Started
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- 👛 A Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or any Solana-compatible wallet)
- 💰 0.5 SOL for your first gym (or try Free-to-Play — see below)
Two Ways to Start
Section titled “Two Ways to Start”💳 Paid Entry (0.5 SOL)
Section titled “💳 Paid Entry (0.5 SOL)”Open your first gym for 0.5 SOL. This gives you a Level 1 Garage with 6 bench slots, full access to every feature of the game as you progress, and immediate eligibility to withdraw $GAINZ once you’ve earned enough. SOL is only required for the initial gym purchase and Roid Rage (RR) purchases — once you’re in, everything else in the game runs on $GAINZ or RR (and RR itself is purchased with SOL, so SOL continues to enter the economy indirectly through the RR shop).
🆓 Free-to-Play Trial
Section titled “🆓 Free-to-Play Trial”Not ready to commit? Pick Free-to-Play on the login screen instead. You’ll get the same starter kit (free Common athlete + 200 $GAINZ + 60 $RR) and can experience the core loop — rip packs, bench athletes, claim $GAINZ — but with these limits until you convert:
- All gyms capped at Level 2
- Cannot withdraw $GAINZ tokens (deposits still work if you buy from the market)
- No Daily Locker, Spartacus Arena participation, or Referral system
- Can still buy Roid Rage with SOL and open more gyms (all remain at L2)
When you’re ready to unlock everything, pay 0.75 SOL to convert your account. All your progress — gyms, athletes, balances — carries over exactly as-is. From that moment on you can upgrade past L2, withdraw $GAINZ, claim the Daily Locker, enter the Arena, and earn referral rewards.
🎓 The Bench Bro Tutorial
Section titled “🎓 The Bench Bro Tutorial”After opening your first gym, you’ll meet Bench Bro — your personal tutorial coach. He walks you through the basics and gives you a free Common athlete plus 200 $GAINZ to rip your first athlete pack. Follow his steps to learn the core loop: place athletes, claim earnings, rip packs, repeat.
🏋️ Athletes
Section titled “🏋️ Athletes”Each athlete has a rarity and base power that determines how much $GAINZ they generate per epoch:
| Rarity | Athlete | Base Power |
|---|---|---|
| ⚪ Common | Bench Bro | 100 |
| 🟢 Uncommon | Squat King | 300 |
| 🔵 Rare | Arnold | 500 |
| 🟣 Epic | Samson | 2,000 |
| 🟡 Legendary | Hercules | 6,000 |
| 🔴 Mythic | Zeus | 20,000 |
| 🏛️ Exalted | Titan | 50,000 |
🏋️ Placing Athletes on Benches
Section titled “🏋️ Placing Athletes on Benches”Two ways to bench an athlete:
- From the gym floor — click an empty bench slot, then select the athlete you want to place from the popup
- From the Roster tab — select an athlete from your inventory and use bulk-fill buttons (Fill This Gym / Fill All / Replace Lower) to place multiple athletes across one or more gyms in a single action
Once placed, athletes begin generating $GAINZ every epoch (15 minutes). There is a 🔥 warm-up period before they reach full earning power (see Gameplay Mechanics).
💰 Claiming Earnings
Section titled “💰 Claiming Earnings”$GAINZ accumulate every epoch. Click the claim button to collect your earnings. ⏰ Unclaimed epochs cap at 32 (8 hours), so check in at least three times a day to avoid missing emissions. 🧑💼 Gym Manager (1,200 RR for 7 days) handles claiming automatically — and pausing the pass freezes the countdown so you get the full 7 days of actual usage.
🚀 Next Steps
