About GYM RPG
GYM RPG is a workout and nutrition tracker where real gym sessions level up a pixel-art RPG character. It is made by one independent developer, João Azevedo.
Who makes it
João Azevedo is the founder and sole developer of GYM RPG. Design, code, pixel art and marketing are done by one person, and every character, pet and item in the game is drawn by hand. He is a software developer, not a medical professional or a certified coach.
How the blog is written
Articles on training, nutrition and habits summarise published research. Each one names its sources at the bottom so you can read the original studies. When the evidence is mixed or the effect is small, the article says so instead of rounding it up.
The content is general information, not medical advice. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, or take medication, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing your training or diet.
