Level up your fitness with science based workouts that you can do anywhere, anytime. Barbarian Fit let’s you set a weekly training target and helps you do fun and engaging workouts, a few minutes each day, to hit your goal.
Hi PD Community,
I'm Tom and along with a talent group of fitness experts, designers and developers we've created Barbarian Fit.
Our mission is to help users "level up their fitness". At a time when we are so restricted by COVID and quarantine measures we wanted to give people a fun and engaging way to get or stay fit from home.
Barbarian Fit guiding users through short HIIT workouts that can be done everyday with little to no equipment. Short, but intense HIIT workouts are scientifically one of the most effective ways to lose weight and maximise training benefits.
The concept behind the app is very much inspired by our love for video games. We didn't want to create just another fitness app with gamification triggers, we actually wanted to create a video game fitness app. From the look and feel to the actual features we wanted to build an app that will inspire gamers, nerds, geeks to get and stay fit.
A little bit about the features:
- Workout Generator -
The core of our app is the Workout Generator. Users select from a variety of options and Barbarian Fit dynamically generators a workout for them. Each workout is unique and challenges users to try new moves and break from always doing the same routine or sequence of moves. Say i have 15 minutes and i want to do an upper body session, i input my options and i get a 15 minutes upper body focused workout. The next day i want to do another session of 15 minutes focused on upper body, i will get a unique combination of moves that will still target upper body but i'll be challenged with new moves.
- 250+ Exercises -
We have a diverse library of bodyweight and mace exercises to target specific body parts and build strength, endurance and mobility. Our app includes a range of moves specific for beginner, intermediate and professional fitness levels.
- Bodyweight and Mace -
All are moves are broken down into bodyweight and mace exercises. Bodyweight exercises require no equipment at all, whilst mace exercises use a steel mace. Users can select bodyweight only, mace only or mixed workouts depending on what they have available and their desired type of workout. A combination of these two types of exercises are optimal for strength and mobility gains.
- Diverse Movements -
Our exercises include traditional moves like pushups along with more complex movements from pilates and yoga disciplines, such as downward dog to planks, pike push ups, leg rotations, etc. Variety is important for fitness progress and Barbarian Fit challenges it's users to discover new moves to expand their fitness capabilities.
- Weekly Target -
Training regularly and consistently is fundamental to health and wellness. Health experts recommend 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercises for adults ages 18-64+. We've create a Weekly Target inspired by the XP bar of typical RPG games that let's you set and track your weekly minutes trained. So by training a little bit every day, but aiming to hit your weekly total each week let's users stay on track and workout consistently.
This is only the beginning of our journey as we launched at the end of January. We have big plans and aspirations for Barbarian Fit and helping more people get healthier.
Looking forward to engaging with everyone here and sharing, ideas, feedback, and more.
Regards,
Tom
