About GYM: Getting You Moving
Know when you're walking into a high crime area, and get a safer way home.
I'm Will, a London personal trainer with almost twenty years on the gym floor. I built GYM: Getting You Moving because I wanted one app that gets people moving and keeps them safe while they do it.
🛡️ SAFE ROUTES
Going for a walk, run or cycle? Type a postcode or pick a 3, 5 or 10 km loop, and the app plans you a safer route using official police.uk street crime data. It steers around crime hotspots and alleyways, prefers well lit streets after dark and busy roads with shops. Tap "Check your area" for a safety score of where you're standing right now. Great for late night walks, or if you've had your phone snatched or your bike stolen before. Police data covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
🚲 BIKE THEFT CHECK
Finish a ride, or pick a place you're heading to, and the app rates the bike stands around you from the same police data: how many bikes went missing nearby in the last six months, which stands are covered, and which one is the better bet.
🚓 CHASE ME
Police chase you along your own trail. Pick 1k, 5k or 10k, start moving, and the units close in. Your wanted level climbs to five stars, the sirens get louder as they get closer, and the only way out is to move faster than you usually do. Escape, or get busted.
🆘 EMERGENCY BEACON
One tap shares your live location with up to 5 friends, and they can see how long it would take them to reach you.
🤝 MERGE
Meeting a mate for a walk or run? Send them a merge request and you both see each other on the map until you meet up. Either of you can end it at any time.
🚧 THE LOOKOUT
Spot a pothole, a blocked path or something dodgy? Drop a pin and runners and cyclists nearby get warned.
👟 STEP RACES WITH YOUR MATES
Your step counter is built in. Race a friend on steps for an hour, team up in squads, or chase your own daily goal. Walking counts, and it counts more when someone is watching.
🏃 AI PACE MAKER
Live voice coaching on runs, walks and rides, GPS tracking, pace targets and a ghost of your best run to race. New to running? Generate a six week cardio plan and build up gently. If you forget to press start, Never Lose a Run can pick up the walk or run you did anyway. GYM collects location data to record your route, pace and distance during a run, walk or ride you start, even when the app is closed or your screen is locked, and for Lost Runs if you switch it on.
🏋️ EVERY GYM MACHINE, EXPLAINED
Photos, step by step guides and videos for every machine, so you know exactly what that cable station is for. Log your workouts, build your own sessions or let the AI plan them around your goals.
🧞 GYM GENIE
Ask it anything about your training, your stats or where to find something in the app.
🎮 FITNESS GAMES WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Snail Chase, Squad War, Sprint Race, Shadow Boxer, Mystery Raider, The Pulse and more. Challenge your mates, cheer them on, leave comments and voice notes. Direct messages are end to end encrypted.
❤️ STEPS AND HEALTH
Works with Health Connect, so steps from your phone and your Galaxy Watch count once, not twice. Heart rate, sleep and workouts feed into your coaching.
🔒 YOUR DATA
No ads and no data sold to anyone. Delete your account and everything in it from inside the app at any time.
💷 FREE FOR 7 DAYS, THEN £1.99 A MONTH OR £20 A YEAR
Everything is unlocked during the trial. Subscribe before GYM reaches 10,000 downloads and you keep £1.99 a month for life.
Share it with someone you love. Let's get you moving, safely.

What’s new
Updated October 23, 2026
Round watch screens: the time, distance and STOP button on the run map sit clear of the edge. Workouts started on the watch, and catching a run you forgot to start, now show on your watch face as an ongoing activity.
