Designed specifically for “rucking,” which is walking with weights or hiking with a weighted pack, the app uses an accepted military formula to track calorie burn
United States, 11th Jul 2026 — Cincy Labs LLC today announced the launch of Ruckaroo, the world’s first fitness app designed specifically for weighted walking. The app is built for “rucking,” which refers to walking with weights or hiking with a weighted pack or weighted vest. The process is beneficial because rucking burns twice the calories of a regular walk. Standard fitness apps do not measure the fitness impact of carrying weights during a workout.
As Rami M., Founder of Cincy Labs, put it, “Walk four miles with a 40-pound pack, and most apps still score it like a casual stroll. Ruckaroo calculates true calorie burn using the Pandolf equation. This is the same load-carriage formula the U.S. Army has used since 1977. It factors in body weight, pack weight, pace, terrain, and elevation. This provides calorie accuracy.”
Every ruck earns a Ruck Score (0–100) that reflects actual effort. A community feed enables users to share their ruck marches. “Our customers consistently tell us how much they enjoy being part of a bigger group, that they’re not rucking alone,” the spokesperson added.
The app also features outdoor GPS, treadmill tracking, Apple Watch connectivity, and a live lock screen. With these capabilities, Ruckaroo is the only app that accurately measures weighted walking indoors and outside. Users can now seamlessly monitor their distance, calories, and heart rate regardless of their location. They can switch from indoor exercise to outdoor without losing the data from their workouts. The app’s AI coach also understands the user’s training history and achievement badges.
