Major expansion: added complete equipment list with prices, equipment categories, Harang River Park details, surfing Fitness 3 requirement, punching bag and air swing
Fitness is one of the original 13 skills available at launch. It is accessible from the Teenager life stage through Senior and represents a Zoi's physical conditioning and endurance. Like all adult skills, Fitness levels from 1 to 10. Unlike skills such as Cooking or Handiwork, Fitness does not unlock specific recipes or craftable items at each level. Instead, the benefits are gradual: better stamina, visible muscle definition on the Zoi's body, and access to fitness competitions at higher levels.
Fitness equipment is purchased through Build Mode under Furniture > Hobby > Fitness. Prices are in Meow. Equipment ranges from a 5 Meow yoga mat to a 4,100 Meow treadmill.

Idol career | Working as an Idol Trainee in Dowon raises Fitness through career activities while earning a salary. |
Fitness training drains Energy and Hunger quickly. Avoid queuing too many exercise actions back to back, or the Zoi will exhaust themselves.
There are no dedicated indoor gym buildings in the current Early Access version. Exercise equipment is found at outdoor public areas and in some residential basements.
Location | City | Equipment Available |
|---|---|---|
Muscle Beach | Barbells, pulldown machines, squat racks, barbell bench press. Near the Beach Volleyball Court. | |
Harang River Park | Air Swing, Cross Country equipment, dumbbells, yoga mat. Along the green bicycle lane near the river. | |
Apartment basements | Some apartment complexes have gym equipment in their basement areas. | |
Home gym | Any | Treadmill, yoga mat, dumbbells, and other equipment purchased through Build Mode. |
Certain activities require a minimum Fitness skill level:
Activity | Required Level | Details |
|---|---|---|
Surfing | Fitness Level 3 | Required to ride waves at Bliss Bay. Below Level 3, Zois can still practice paddling and posture on a surfboard, which counts as Fitness training. |
Fitness competitions | Higher levels | Pay approximately 1,000 Meow for winning. |
The Fitness Master ambition requires reaching high Fitness levels and is part of several Desired Lives including Life of Tranquility and Life of Excitement.
Visible muscle definition develops on the Zoi's body as the skill increases.
Improved stamina for physical activities and manual labor.
Better performance in sports (football, surfing, basketball).
Higher levels unlock fitness competitions that pay approximately 1,000 Meow for winning.
Being in the Concentrated emotion boosts Fitness skill gain speed.
Being Sad hinders Fitness skill growth.
The Swimming skill provides some crossover with Fitness, as swimming is a physical activity. However, they are tracked as separate skills and leveling one does not directly level the other. Performance also involves physical movement (dance routines) but uses its own separate skill track.
Children cannot learn Fitness directly. The child Motor Development skill serves as a precursor. A maxed child skill (Level 5) automatically boosts the corresponding adult skill to Level 5 when the Zoi ages up to Teenager.
Yoga is the gentlest way to start. It drains less Energy than machines and also provides a mood boost.
Weight machines (squat rack, bench press, pulldown machine) give the highest XP per session but burn through Energy and Hunger. Keep food ready.
If you want to level Fitness passively, the Idol Trainee career in Dowon raises the skill while earning a salary.
Place a treadmill or yoga mat at home through Build Mode to train without traveling to a gym lot.
A home gym with a treadmill (4,100 Meow) and a squat rack (271 Meow) covers both endurance and strength training for under 5,000 Meow.
Below Fitness Level 3, you can still use surfboards at Bliss Bay to practice paddling and posture. This counts as Fitness training and helps reach the Level 3 threshold.
The Hula Hoop (5 Meow) is the cheapest piece of fitness equipment and a good starting option for budget-conscious households.
