FitPets is a step-and-calorie goal app where hitting targets hatches and evolves a cute pet. It is activity-goal based, it rewards hitting step or calorie targets, not logging real strength workouts, runs or classes, so there is no training tracker underneath.
Pick FitPets if you want a simple step/calorie goal app with an adorable pet attached.

- Actually tracks your training: strength sets & reps, GPS runs, and studio-class calories.
