Working out in the metaverse is a concept as old as the metaverse. Although many crypto projects have come forward to test the feasibility of a fitness metaverse, Fight Out is the first to seize the attention of health enthusiasts. The application’s creative blockchain features are built on a robust move-to-earn mechanism that makes tangible improvements to earlier models.
The fast-moving presale of FGHT tokens reveals the mass appeal of the project that extends beyond the crypto market. According to industry experts, Fight Out could be the first crypto fitness application to go mainstream if the ecosystem unfolds as laid out in the whitepaper.
Gamification as a tool to build fitness habits
Traditional gyms are phasing out to give way to boutique fitness studios that offer customized services and more workout choices. Due to the lack of social and community aspects, gyms fail to give motivation, guidance, accountability, and enjoyment. Their retention rate goes down, as a result. But not everyone can afford boutique fitness studios or personal trainers.
While the new wave of fitness apps tries to strike a balance between personalization and cost efficiency, they are bound by the inherent limitations of Web 2. A mobile app can’t consistently motivate you to get out of bed and sweat it out. Although most of us have a fitness app on our home screen, very few have opened it in months. They also raise concerns about data privacy and security.
Fight Out takes fitness to Web3, combining advanced gamification and metaverse tools. Using the much-talked-about Fight Out Companion App, you can earn as you work out in the metaverse with your friends, family, or other community members from around the world. The crypto move-to-earn mechanisms motivate you to adhere to well-rounded fitness programs customized to your goals and abilities.
You can enter competitive leagues, tournaments, and interesting fight modes to win glory, titles, and prize pools. On the other hand, communities and brands can organize special competitions in the metaverse, setting their own entry fees and prizes. And if you’re brave enough, you can test yourselves against AI-powered pro fighters or other legends of combat sports.
How does it work?
You can create an account and purchase subscriptions on Fight Out using your email address. After registration, enter your goals, fitness background, available equipment, location, desired workout types, time available, and any excluded exercises or muscle groups. The listed workouts can range from strength and conditioning to HiiT, mobility, yoga, meditation, boxing, etc. It also tracks your nutrition, sleep, and other useful metrics depending on the level of personalization and social accountability.
In addition to providing a workout plan, the app features high-quality instruction videos led by a head coach and PT, supplementary deep-dive videos on newbie mistakes, and advanced tips. Going forward, it will also launch coaching programs that help users achieve specific workout goals or unlock a difficult in-app challenge or badge. In addition, on-demand workout classes and live sessions will be provided, which can be attended in-app or at local Fight Out gyms.
Soulbound NFTs, instead of pricey starter NFTs
We have seen how expensive starter NFTs have proven fatal to crypto metaverses. As the project grows and expands, so does the price of the NFTs. Investors who pile in on the collections drive their prices, rendering them inaccessible to users. The result? The application loses users and the NFTs bite the dust.
Fight Out puts forward a more sustainable solution using Soulbound NFTs, which are your unique digital avatars in the metaverse. As the name implies, they are bound to your souls and can’t be transferred or resold. You can mint your own digital NFT avatar when creating an account.
It converts the data collected from workouts and achievements into stat points, representing your training, progress, and achievements. You can add cosmetics such as attire, hairstyles, accessories, tattoos, and make-up to your digital avatars for a more personalized experience.
In addition to Soulbound NFTs, the Fight Out ecosystem features more crypto, off-chain, and NFT assets. The most important of these are FGHT and REPS tokens. While FGHT is the metaverse token, REPS is the in-app, off-chain token. Rather than pumping unfair prices for the NFTs and thus raising the entry barrier to the ecosystem, Fight Out nurtures sustainable demand for the FGHT crypto tokens.

A holistic approach to fitness sets apart Fight Out
Rather than focusing on a single metric for activity, Fight Out rewards you for a much wider range of movements, from body-weight exercises and workout class participation to machine and weights exercises. The app uses the latest smart technology to track movement and key effort indicators, with all data points going into the reward algorithm.
Another interesting aspect is that Fight Out workouts and exercises can be categorized based on their attributes like Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardio, Wellness, and Mental Fortitude. The weekly soft caps of each attribute ensure all-around fitness. There is also scope for specialization, which earns you badges for completing challenges.
Fight Out badges are time-stamped records of achievements inside the app and the metaverse. They come with perks like increased soft caps on particular skill categories, discounts on items in the Fight Out store, increased drop rates on cosmetic NFTs and REPS-earning amplifiers. You can also improve your earning potential substantially by completing periodic challenges, doing wildcard workouts, and contributing to the Fight Out community.
Peer recognition is a strong fitness motive
Not many of us would like to acknowledge this, but the goal of fitness goes beyond maintaining health. Flaunting your well-toned abs at the beach is as good a motive as physical endurance during a long trek.
Fight Out’s emphasis on social factors gives it a competitive edge among the plethora of fitness apps. It allows you to share your newly acquired cosmetics, badges, challenge completions, and physical achievements for peer recognition. The local and custom Fight Out leaderboards for stats and challenges build a sense of friendly competition. It motivates users to check their friends’ profiles and increases engagement.
There is more
- Fight Out will open the world’s first major Web3-integrated gyms that maximize move-to-earn earnings opportunities and nurture deeper community bonds. They are likely to open to the public in Q4 after the presale ends.
- Fight Out Gyms will feature health bars that serve nutritious meals, smoothies, coffee, and snacks. It will also be an area for socialization, coworking, and community events.
- Redeem your REPS rewards at the Fight Out store to buy training equipment, supplements, and fitness apparel. Or, exchange them for in-person benefits like access to Fight Out gyms, products at the on-site health bar, and access to co-working space.
