Company profile

researched Sep 2026

FIX Health develops interactive games positioned at the intersection of health and entertainment, combining video game mechanics with physical activity to encourage daily movement. Its stated founding belief is that all aspects of life are enhanced by a healthy lifestyle, and its products span short workplace "deskercise" prompts through to a fully realized zombie-outbreak game world in which players must sync their real-world steps and exercise to survive.

The company's game portfolio comprises A Step Ahead, a corporate employee-engagement and wellness product; The Outbreak, a zombie survival game for iOS and Android in which real-world steps and workouts drive in-game progress; Lost Tides: The Voyage Home; and UtiliFIT, aimed at short, frequent activity breaks. A separate offering is positioned around speeding up recovery so injured workers return to work faster. The company cites U.S. Department of Health guidance of at least 150 minutes of exercise per week and survey data indicating nearly one in three Americans report not exercising on any day of the week as the rationale for its products.
