GymPet is Android-only, so if you’re on iOS you can’t get it. The closest pick on iPhone is Mariposas: it’s the same cute-pet idea, but your pet grows from real logged workouts, strength sets, GPS runs and studio classes, not logged gym workouts. Collect a watercolor pet for every session, keep a streak, and train with friends. Free on iOS.

GymPet is a free, privacy-first gym logger where each workout you log levels up a virtual pet. It is gym/strength-only with a single leveling pet, no GPS run tracking, studio-class logging, collectible pets or outfits, and no friends layer beyond leaderboards. And because it is Android-only, iOS users are left looking for something similar they can actually install.
Pick GymPet if you want a 100% free, no-account, privacy-first strength logger and don’t need runs, classes, collectible pets or a friends feed.
Why Mariposas is a great GymPet alternative

- Actually tracks your training: strength sets & reps, GPS runs, and studio-class calories.
- Streaks and a friends feed built to make showing up stick.
- Free on iOS, the alternative you can actually install on iPhone.
