We are at a time when the world is beginning to open up once again and people are getting more busy, meaning that it can be harder to find time to move your body and stay healthy & active. No matter your age or circumstances, finding the motivation to establish or keep to an exercise routine can be difficult.
A gamified experience powered by The Conqueror
Perhaps earlier this year you had set your new year’s resolution as being more active – but have since found this has not been possible. Whether you are looking to run a 5k or go for something a little tougher, it’s important to remember that it’s never too late and that fitness can be highly rewarding for your body.
According to the NHS website, the benefits of regular exercise include increased self-esteem, mood, sleep quality, and energy, whilst also reducing the risk of major illnesses such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
In the last few years, the tech and gaming market has developed products to help make exercising and fitness more fun and addictive than ever before, whilst making it easier to meet new people.
Let’s not forget! Exercise must be enjoyable in order to make you want to come back for more. That’s why The Conqueror has designed a service to help people of all fitness abilities take in some of the biggest real world, and even fictional, landmarks with every step they take.
A growing market
The pandemic has ultimately changed the way we approach exercise. With gyms shutting down during the lockdowns, people were forced to look at new ways to stay fit. Of these new offerings, health and fitness app downloads increased by 46% worldwide. Since being exposed to these new forms of exercising, people may have found that they prefer this to more traditional methods.
Growth in this sector shows no sign of slowing down too. In 2021, the global fitness app market size was valued at $1.1b and it is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 17.6% between 2022 and 2030.
Fitness apps also allow users to measure their fitness and track their health goals, incentivizing them to continue their journey. Having all that data in one place can help them to take control of their bodies and make decisions about the amount and types of exercise that they are completing.
In a study by Deloitte, 77% of people who use devices to track their health said that it changed their behavior at least moderately.

The Conqueror allows you to travel to the top of Mount Fuji or swim the distance of the English Channel from your home or your local neighborhood.

Users can connect the award-winning Conqueror mobile app or website to their favorite fitness apps or they can manually log their progress.
Completion rates are four to five times higher than an average fitness program and this, in part, is due to the rewards system, with both short and long-term incentives, to keep users motivated.
