Wall pushups

Your Hero challenge
Available for iPhone on the App Store
Every hero starts at zero.
Pushups. Situps. Squats. Turn small workouts into a big adventure—with Gio and his mighty mustache in your corner.
For adult beginners. Your pace. Your progress.
Hey, potato. Let's start somewhere.
Small quests. Earned confidence.
Three paths. One stronger you.
Start with movements you can manage today. Each exercise has its own path, so your squats can lead the way while your pushups find their feet.

Build your ability

Big goals, no universal deadline. These are long-term challenges, not promises about how fast your body will change.
A little quest. A real step forward.
Start gently or use the optional Find my level workout for each exercise. Choose a familiar movement and try up to two short, controlled sets. It replaces that exercise’s next eligible quest.
Your first workout starts Day 1
No schedule questionnaire. Your first recorded effort starts three training days a week, with recovery between them. Begin today or later; change the days in Settings.
Do the reps. Tap done.
Follow the movement guide, work through your sets and confirm what you complete. No daily rep-count entry.
Rest, then return
Tell Gio how it felt. Your next quest adapts to your feedback, and recovery days protect your streak.
Big mustache. Bigger belief in you.
Gio celebrates the effort you actually put in. A first set matters. A comeback matters. Showing up as a beginner absolutely matters.
Three small quests. One stronger you. Let's earn the next step.
Everyday Gio
The spud has entered the ring. The couch is looking nervous!
Pro-wrestler Gio
Pro-wrestler talk is an optional Pro setting. Playful, no profanity—and pain or recovery always gets clear, supportive guidance.
Gio Crew · Free for everyone
Small circle. Big encouragement.
Invite up to five friends with separate, single-use invitations. Choose a nickname they recognize. Everyone trains at their own level, with a little encouragement from their corner.
- The first qualifying workout of the day adds one shared step, up to three per person each week. Completed chapter postcards stay in your adventure history.
- Find shared training days, milestones and comebacks in Recent activity. Send a high five; extra exercises never earn extra Crew steps.
- Choose separately whether to share future day-level activity or your current exercise stages. No public leaderboard.
Six faces from the in-app avatar library
74 portraits. Human or Animal.
With Pro, choose from 50 human and 24 animal portraits in a mixed gallery, then pick one of 6 frame colors. Save your appearance once. Everyone can preview the full library.

Before you meet your first quest
What if I can't do a single pushup?
That’s a valid place to start: wall pushups, small curl-ups and supported sit-to-stands. If one exercise already feels easy, try Find my level to choose a familiar variation. Each path adapts independently.
Do I need gym equipment?
No gym membership is needed. Beginner variations use a wall, a stable chair or bench, a secure raised surface and a comfortable mat. Follow the in-app setup instructions for your current movement.
How quickly will I reach Hero?
There is no fixed finish date. The Hero goals are long-term challenges. Progress depends on your starting ability, consistency, feedback and recovery. Gio Trains is for generally healthy adults, not injury rehabilitation.
Does every workout need an internet connection?
The core campaign and all twelve languages are available offline. Purchases, purchase restoration, Crew and optional cloud backup need a connection. Watch workouts sync back to your iPhone when the devices can reconnect.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time, restorable purchase. Gio Cloud Backup is a separate annual subscription. Your free training campaign depends on neither.
Will my progress survive a new phone?
You can export a free encrypted backup and import it on another iPhone with your recovery code. Optional Cloud Backup can keep encrypted copies automatically when enabled. Keep the code safe outside the app; restoring Pro restores the purchase, not your training history.
Which devices and languages are supported?
Gio Trains is built for iPhone with iOS 18 or later, with a Pro companion for Apple Watch on watchOS 11 or later. It includes English, Italian, French, German, Spanish for Spain and Latin America, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Where can I download Gio Trains?
Gio Trains is a free download from the App Store for iPhone. Search for Gio Trains in the App Store, or follow the link at the top of this page.
Do my friends need Pro to join my crew?
No. Creating or joining a private crew, shared adventures and cheering are free. You need an account and connection, but no Cloud Backup subscription. Pro adds portraits and frame colors.
