The board gives you the next exercise. The race gives your group a reason to keep playing.
HOW TO PLAY
Choose 3, 5, or 7 Gains based on your workout time. Each completed lap earns one Gain.
Roll, move clockwise, complete the exercise you land on, then return to the board and roll again.
Each time you pass GAINS START HERE, mark one Gain. First to reach the Gains Goal wins.
One Game. Your Whole Class.
20, 30, 40 students—or more? Play in teams. Each game piece represents a team, so the number of pieces doesn’t limit you to that many students.
Give each team one game piece and a workout zone with enough room to move. For example, a class of 30 can play as six teams of five.
Teammates share the team’s exercise total. Once it’s complete, both team leaders return to the board:
- Captain: Rolls the dice and moves the team’s piece.
- Co-Captain: Checks the move and helps announce the next exercise.
All teams play at the same time while you coach movement, effort, and teamwork.
Starter supports up to 6 teams. Pro supports up to 10 teams.

Josh O (PE TEACHER)
I bought BoardGains for rainy-day indoor track practices, and it has been a huge hit with my middle school athletes, coaches, and Athletic Director. I split the group into teams, choose a captain to roll and move the piece, and the game runs from there. It adds competition, teamwork, and tons of fun to training. 5 stars. 10/10. Highly recommend for workouts and team training!
Mechelle B. (PE Teacher)
Middle School Phys Ed classes loved it!
We have large numbers in our classes, this game got ALOT of students involved and most importantly MOVING. Challenging, but fun. We will break this out often! Thanks!!!
Niki (PE Teacher)
Great Highschool PE game
I played this game with my varsity field hockey team and it gave them quite the workout. The instructions are pretty simple to explain and the exercises are good as well. Great competitive game.

Fueling Gains, Unity, and Friendly Rivalries
BoardGains has been a game-changer for our gym. We run classes with adults and kids, splitting everyone into teams, and the competition gets real—only one team wins and earns bragging rights for two weeks! It’s more than just a workout; it builds strength, unity, and that fun, competitive edge our members love.
Coach Lalonde (Group Fitness Instructor)
A well-built, well-designed fitness game.
As a fitness coach with 25+ years of experience, I’m always looking for fun, engaging workouts—BoardGains nails it! It delivers a full-body workout with strength and cardio, works solo or in teams, and is super portable—we even play live on Zoom! The board is durable, well-designed, and packed with surprises. Highly recommend—10/10!

Better Together
I got BoardGains for Christmas and love it! You can play solo, but it’s even better with friends, kids, or groups. It’s easy to follow, super fun, and gives a great workout—we laughed so much, especially during planks! Highly recommend if you want to get fit and have fun. Add dumbbells or bands to level up. Endless options!
Lauren M. (Teacher)
Amazing for HS Personal Wellness Class
The first time I used it myself and my students really enjoyed it! Nothing wrong with a little competition!! For the price it was a no brainer to buy it. Especially since I had to use my own money!
The Bay Coaching Facility (Group Fitness Instructor)
Great game!
Great game! We've been using it with our kids during our summer camp and they love it. I highly recommend it, it's fun & unique.
ELVIS (Parent)
Great workout for 1 or more players!
My daughter and I played this game last night and it is challenging and a great workout. It took us about 45 minutes to finish and we were exhausted and sweaty. I love that it contains everything needed to get a solid workout.
Teirsa (Couple)
Love it!
My husband and I played the game. It was a fun, friendly competition. We made our target 7 gains. He completed 7 I completed the 5. The send back to high plank killed me. And I swear I landed on every single burpees square. It was a very hard but fun workout. So happy I bought this game! Our next plan is to have a couples competition
Built by a Trainer. Put to Work by Real Groups.
Hi, I’m Eric Mathura, creator of BoardGains. After studying kinesiology and spending over 10 years as a personal trainer and bootcamp instructor, I wanted to make group workouts easier to lead and more fun to join.
What started with fitness cards and a whiteboard in my classes became BoardGains—a fitness board game that turns exercise into play.
Today, schools, gyms, and families use BoardGains to get moving together. The goal is still the same: less time planning, more time moving, and a reason to come back for another round.
Meet EricQuestions Before You Buy?
BoardGains is easy to set up, easy to teach, and flexible for different fitness levels.
Which edition should I buy?

Pro Edition is best for group fitness, bootcamps, sports teams, and older students. It includes 20 exercises, a bigger board, and more variety for higher-energy workouts.
For schools, gyms, or larger groups, the Bundle gives you the most flexibility.
How many players can play?
BoardGains can be played solo, with partners, or in teams.
The Starter Edition works great for 1–6 players or teams.
The Pro Edition works great for 1–10 players or teams.
For larger classes or groups, split players into teams. Teams can share reps, so everyone stays involved and contributes to the win. Example class of 30 do 5 teams of 6
How long does a game take?
You control the length by setting your Gains Goal.
3 Gains → 10–15 minutes, great for a warm-up or finisher.
5 Gains → 15–25 minutes, great for a main workout.
7 Gains → 25–35 minutes, great for a full session.
You can also set a time limit and play for as long as your class, workout, or event allows. Run one round or stack multiple rounds to make it longer.
Is it good for beginners?
Yes! BoardGains works for different fitness levels because players can move at their own pace.
Exercises can also be modified. For example, push-ups can be done on knees, burpees can be done modified, and jumping exercises can be changed to low-impact moves.
Everyone gets to play, move, and have fun.
Do I need equipment or planning?
No gym equipment or workout plan is needed—the board provides the exercises. Allow a few minutes to set up players or teams, review the movements, and give everyone enough room to exercise. Then set your Gains Goal and start playing.
