Shedams is a fitness app built around belonging rather than personal bests. It is for anyone from 13 to 93, whatever shape you are starting in.
GRADED ON YOUR EFFORT, NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S
Every activity you finish is graded against targets set for your own age band and your own fitness level. A brisk walk at 70 and a hard run at 25 can both earn an A. Intensity and consistency count for more than raw distance, so a short honest session is never wasted.
BUILD A MASTERPIECE, ONE WORKOUT AT A TIME
Each graded activity earns puzzle tiles, and tiles reveal a famous world landmark on your personal quest, block by block. Finish the picture and pick where you are heading next. Leftover tiles roll into your next quest, so nothing is lost at the finish line.
WALK, RUN, CYCLE, CARDIO. INSIDE OR OUT.
Track outdoors with GPS and per-kilometre splits, or train indoors on a treadmill, an exercise bike, or a mat. Indoor sessions are graded on effort rather than distance, so they count just as much as a lap of the park. Pair a Bluetooth heart rate strap for a truer read on intensity, or let Shedams estimate it for you.
CHALLENGES, GROUPS AND EVENTS
Join a challenge on distance, time or steps. Race on your own, rally a group, or put teams against each other and fill a shared puzzle together. Coaches run live events, virtual or in person.
RANK AMONG PEOPLE YOU CHOSE
There are no anonymous global leagues here. Your leaderboard is built from the people you have connected with and the challenges you have joined, over a week, a month or a year.
BUILD THE HABIT, NOT JUST THE WORKOUT
Set out what is motivating you, pick a small number of commitments you can keep, and choose the times of day you intend to move. Shedams tracks your streak, reminds you without nagging, and shows the weeks and months adding up.
ON YOUR WRIST
Start a walk, run, cycle or cardio session from a Wear OS watch and leave your phone behind. The watch tracks your heart rate and distance on its own. Shedams for Wear OS is a companion app: your watch hands the finished session to your phone to be saved and graded, so the Shedams phone app needs to be installed and signed in. If your phone is not nearby, the session is held and sent automatically when it is.
ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
A live tracking notification keeps your time, distance and pace where you can see them, and lets you pause, resume or finish without unlocking.
ALONGSIDE THE REST OF YOUR HEALTH DATA
Workouts recorded by other apps and devices can sync in through Health Connect, and Shedams grades them alongside everything else without creating duplicates.
Shedams Premium is optional. Everything described above works without it.
Effort-graded fitness. Turn every walk, run or ride into a world landmark.
