Ever since the Solo Leveling anime, thousands of lifters have wanted their own “System”: a window that pops up every morning with a daily quest, XP for every effort, and a rank that climbs from E to S. Good news: several fitness apps now use this exact idea. Bad news: many of them are just a push-up counter in disguise.
Quick answer: for the closest thing to a real System (daily quests, loot, dungeons, arena, guilds) connected to a real workout log, RPG Fitness: Muscu Leveling is our top pick in 2026. For a clean stat sheet with E-to-S ranks, Ascend. For the most anime-flavored experience, Level-UP: Fitness. To gamify your whole life System-style, Ascension System.
Disclosure: RPG Fitness is developed by the team behind this website. We built this ranking as honestly as we could, weaknesses included. Solo Leveling is a work by Chugong; none of the apps listed is an official licensed app.

What makes a real Solo Leveling “System” app
- A daily quest waiting for you every day, with a reward when you finish it.
- Progress tied to your real performance: sets, reps, weight. Not a checkbox.
- Stats and a rank that reflect what you actually do in training.
- Something to do with your power: gear, dungeons, bosses, fights against other players.
- A soft penalty: pushing you to come back without wiping weeks of progress for one missed day.
The 2026 ranking
1. RPG Fitness: Muscu Leveling, the most complete System
RPG Fitness is built around a very Solo Leveling rule: the only way to get stronger in the game is to train in real life. Every completed set earns XP, coins and a chance of loot. Your hero gains HP, attack and armor, then you take them into dungeons, expeditions or the arena.
- Daily quest and 30-day login rewards, with gems on milestone days.
- Loot in 5 rarities (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic) to equip or upgrade at the Forge.
- Dungeons, expeditions, PvP arena and combat mini-games for elemental damage.
- Guilds with guild quests, friends and leaderboards.
- A real workout log: sets, reps, weight, timed and cardio exercises, automatic personal records, charts and calendar.
Pros: the richest game loop in this ranking, a free version that includes full tracking, quests and friends, and one of the cheapest Pro plans (€2.99/month or €29.99/year in Europe). Rated 5/5 on the French App Store. Cons: launched in March 2026, so the community is still small, and the free version is limited to 3 custom routines.
Best for: Solo Leveling fans who lift or train with bodyweight and want a real game, not just a rank.

2. Ascend: the hunter stat sheet, gym-log edition
Ascend turns your gym log into a character sheet: 5 stats calculated from your real performance and a rank that climbs from E to S. Weekly quests and rank-up challenges push consistency, and return missions help you restart after a break.
Pros: progress based on real records, fast logging. Cons: iPhone only, no gear or combat, pricey Premium. Best for: people who want the hunter-rank vibe without a video game layer.
3. Level-UP: Fitness, the anime-inspired pioneer
One of the first apps to ride the wave: daily tasks, dungeons, 180+ items and global leaderboards. Visually the closest to the anime.
Cons: no real workout tracking and no updates since February 2025. Try it for the vibe, less for gym progress.
4. Ascension System: the System for your whole life
Ascension System turns every workout, study session or healthy habit into XP. Ranks go from E to S and beyond to a World Level, with daily quests tied to your stats and weekly bosses. Pro adds XP multipliers and shields against level and streak loss.
Best for: gamifying training, studying and meditation in one app. Limit: it is not a workout log; lifting is just one habit among others.
5. GrindLog: the tracker with character stats
GrindLog awards XP for each workout, raises strength, stamina and constitution stats shown on a radar chart, and hands out ranks from “Novice Grinder” to “GYM GOD”. Clubs and leaderboards add a social layer. Limit: no loot, dungeons or combat.
6. Habitica: the habit RPG to pair with
Habitica turns your tasks into a retro RPG with classes, party quests and bosses. Great for overall discipline, but it does not know what a workout is: you tick “exercise” and that is it. The core is free; the subscription only adds cosmetic perks.
Is Sung Jinwoo’s workout realistic?
The famous daily challenge from the anime (100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10 km run) is a great meme but a bad starting point for beginners. Do what the story does: start at E rank. A realistic daily quest is 3 to 4 sessions per week with steady progression in reps or weight. That is exactly what the best apps here do: they rank you up at the speed of your real progress.

FAQ
What is the best Solo Leveling workout app?
In 2026, RPG Fitness: Muscu Leveling is the most complete: daily quests, XP for every set, Common-to-Mythic loot, dungeons, PvP arena and guilds, all connected to a real workout log. Ascend is a good, simpler alternative focused on an E-to-S rank.
Is there an official Solo Leveling fitness app?
To our knowledge, there is no official Solo Leveling workout app. Apps like RPG Fitness, Ascend and Level-UP: Fitness are inspired by the System concept (quests, ranks, stats) without being tied to the license.
Is the 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10 km challenge good for beginners?
No. It is too much volume at once for most beginners, with a high risk of injury or quitting. Three to four sessions per week with steady progression works better, like ranking up.
Are Solo Leveling-style fitness apps free?
Most have a free version. RPG Fitness is free with full tracking, quests and friends, plus a Pro plan at 2.99 euros per month in Europe. Ascend has a paid Premium, and Level-UP: Fitness and Ascension System offer in-app purchases.
Can I use a Solo Leveling app without a gym?
Yes. RPG Fitness supports bodyweight and timed exercises, so you can level up at home. Ascension System and Habitica also work without equipment since they reward habits.
