Fanta Palestra

Purpose of the game

The gym becomes a light competition: points for showing up on time, finishing your workout, helping a partner. No rules about weight, body shape, or appearance: only observable actions. Daily motivation, never judgment.

How to play

A personal trainer or group member creates the game and shares it with the training team. During weeks, they assign points for positive actions: someone finished their planned workout (+6), someone helped a partner with correct form (+5), someone was late (-3). The leaderboard stays visible, updated after each session. No negative points for body, weight, or physical appearance: the game is only about effort and behavior. By end of month, the winner is whoever committed most.
