Do I need special equipment to get started?

No — you don’t need any special equipment to start using Smash Your Fitness. The platform is designed to work with the devices you already own, so you can begin playing and moving right away.

Here are your options:

  • Just your phone: Every modern smartphone has built-in motion sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope). Smash can use these to detect your movement. That means you can simply hold your phone, put it in your pocket, or strap it to your arm and start playing games like Parkour without needing anything extra.
    👉 For a better gameplay experience, many users choose to cast or pair their phone to a smart TV. This gives you a larger view of your avatar and makes the game more immersive, especially for family or group play.

  • Smartwatches: If you have an Apple Watch or a WearOS watch, you can connect it to Smash. This adds accuracy and convenience by letting your wrist capture your movement directly.

  • Fitness equipment: Smash also integrates with BLE FTMS-enabled machines like treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, and rowers. If you already own one of these, you can use it with Smash for a more immersive experience — but it’s not required.

  • Smashometer: Our custom motion sensor adds another layer of precision and flexibility. It’s optional, and you can enjoy Smash without it, but some players like the extra accuracy it provides.


✅ Bottom Line

You can get started with just your phone — no other gear needed. Casting to a smart TV can make the experience more engaging, and you can enhance it further by adding a smartwatch, connecting fitness equipment, or using the Smashometer — but those are all optional upgrades.
