Marvel Move is now available on iPhone and Android in the new ZRX Mobile app. The ZRX mobile app from Six to Start is available for iOS on the App Store and Android on Google Play.
You can look for my full review of the app in the coming days, but if you’re like me, prior to my opportunity to try out Marvel Move, and trying to figure out what a story-focused running app would be like, imagine Apple Fitness+ workouts wrapped in a narrative. It’s honestly very cool! I hate simply running or walking, but I enjoyed it while trying out Marvel Move prior to today’s launch.
Again, look for my full review in the coming days, but for now, you can check out the below press release for today’s official launch from Six to Start.
London, UK – August 30, 2023 – Six to Start, the co-creator of wildly popular fitness app Zombies, Run! and subsidiary of OliveX, a global leader in digital fitness experiences, has just announced the global availability of Marvel Move, a brand new interactive mobile fitness experience created in collaboration with Marvel. Marvel Move is available now in ZRX, the just-
launched, fully redesigned mobile app from Six to Start that is now home to Zombies, Run! and tons more narrative fitness content.Featuring Marvel Comics characters like Thor and Loki, the X-Men, Hulk, and Doctor Strange, Marvel Move makes the runner the main character, while the supporting cast guides them through thrilling adventures and challenges. It’s a uniquely immersive storyline-led fitness experience that makes running, jogging, or walking – inside or outside, on a treadmill, or in a wheelchair – highly effective, rewarding, and entertaining.
Marvel Move will launch with the following series, with new episodes featuring new workouts
