Shonen press kit

Shonen is a fitness RPG for iPhone and Android that makes showing up the first battle. Every week its variety engine mixes strength, cardio, play, mobility and adventure into quests that fit the person’s gear, places and health — with plans that adapt to 50+ health conditions using public guidelines from WHO, ACSM and NICE. Players choose one of six anime-style classes, and their hero evolves through five tiers as they train, with story arcs, a weekly boss and loot along the way. It’s kind by design: a 2-minute start that still counts, “never miss twice” instead of guilt, and calm and body-neutral modes. It works fully offline without an account, and health data is never sold.
