ZRX has transformed the way running feels, turning routine workouts into fully immersive adventures, and that’s why it’s our App of the Month. For years, Zombies, Run! made running thrilling by dropping users into post-apocalyptic missions filled with undead chases and gripping storytelling. With the evolution into ZRX, the experience has only grown richer, blending fitness with story-driven excitement while expanding to include Marvel Move, an official Marvel fitness experience that places runners alongside superheroes.
Longtime Zombies, Run! users will benefit from terrifying chase sequences with dynamic audio and an updated Base Builder that provides detailed progress tracking. Training plans offer greater flexibility, ensuring runners of all levels can tailor workouts to their needs. Technical benefits include reliable workout duration settings, improved app performance, and a streamlined web login system that enhances security. Even small but meaningful changes, like cast credits for nearly every story, reinforce ZRX’s commitment to delivering an immersive storytelling experience.
Alongside the undead-fueled adventures of Zombies, Run!, Marvel Move offers a fresh way to bring storytelling into workouts. Whether it’s escaping authorities with Hulk and Betty Banner in Hulkville or joining the X-Men in Age of Orchis, the action unfolds dynamically while running, walking, or even cycling. Thor and Loki lead an expertly designed 8-week 5K training program, making this an engaging option for those new to running. For experienced runners, the same adventure plays out in story mode, where the Asgardian brothers guide participants through a dramatic journey of divine mischief and heroic endurance.
Rewards provide another reason to keep going. Every workout earns in-game supplies, which can be exchanged for trophies displayed in a virtual Trophy Cabinet. Squirrel Girl serves as the in-app guide to these achievements, making progression feel even more interactive.
For those curious about Marvel Move, a 7-day free trial offers a chance to test out its features, with subscriptions starting at US$5.99 per month, or US$59.99 per year. Whether escaping a horde or teaming up with Earth’s mightiest heroes, every session feels like stepping into a high-stakes mission — one that just happens to get you moving.
ZRX: Zombies Run + Marvel Move is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for free, but take note that Zombies, Run! and Marvel Move have separate subscription plans. More information about Zombies, Run! and Marvel Move can be found on the ZRX website.
