What Dojo Premium actually unlocks

Workout Samurai is a push-up game that is free to download and free to play. The camera rep counter, the whole dojo campaign, clans, samurai titles and ranked seasons are all included at no cost, and there is no account wall in front of any of it. Dojo Premium is an optional subscription layered on top, and it is deliberately narrow.

It unlocks exactly three things:

• Unlimited energy, so the campaign never makes you wait
• Rest insurance every week, so a week off never breaks your streak
• Back-to-back clan boss raids instead of waiting on the meter

Read that list again and notice the shape of it. Every item removes a wait. None of them adds a reward, a multiplier or a shortcut to standing. That split is the whole design: the subscription can change how often you play, and it can forgive a week when life gets in the way, but it cannot change what a push-up is worth. The reps are still yours to do.

Unlimited energy is the headline of the three, and the promise behind it is a plain one: the campaign never makes you wait. Sit down with a free hour and clear as much of a chapter as your arms will allow, in one sitting, at whatever pace suits the day.

What it does not touch is standing. Verified reps are the only thing that moves a samurai title or a season division, and they are free for everyone, so a subscriber and a free player who do the same push-ups finish in the same place. Unlimited energy buys longer sittings, not a higher place.

Which means the honest test is how you play. If you do one set a day and put the phone down, you will barely notice the difference, and the subscription is buying something you will not use. If you play in long weekend sessions and clear four or five levels at a time, training without waiting is the entire reason to consider it.

Streaks are the cheapest motivation in fitness apps and the cruelest. They work until the week you get ill, travel, or simply need a break, and then the number resets and the app quietly tells you that the last four months did not count. Rest insurance is the answer to that. Dojo Premium renews it every week, so taking a week off leaves your streak standing instead of breaking it.

It is insurance, not a coaching feature. The app does not prescribe your rest, schedule it, or decide when you have earned it. It simply stops a deliberate week off from costing you a streak you spent months building. What you do with that week is your business, and the training guides here cover the argument for taking one better than a paywall can.

A clan in Workout Samurai is asynchronous: a shared vault, a town hall you upgrade together, and a clan boss raid every week that the whole clan chips away at with verified reps. Nobody has to be online at the same time as anybody else, which is the only way a clan of adults with jobs ever works. The raid is the shared goal that keeps a clan meaningful between seasons.

Dojo Premium lets those raids run back-to-back, so you can take another swing at the boss as soon as you are ready for one. It changes your pace as a raider, not your damage, your clan's standing or anyone else's contribution. If you are the member who carries the vault, this is the part of the subscription you will feel. How clans work covers the rest of the system.

This is the part worth reading twice, because most fitness subscriptions are vague about it. Dojo Premium never unlocks:

• Leaderboard rank, which is earned and free for everyone
• Titles or divisions
• Verified reps, which only your own push-ups produce

The comparison table inside the app's own paywall lists leaderboard rank as Earned in both columns, free and Premium, side by side. That is not an oversight. Rank is the one thing the product sells nothing against, because a leaderboard you can pay to climb is not a leaderboard, it is a receipt.

The enforcement is not a promise, it is architecture. Every ranked session is issued by the server and validated by the server, physically impossible input is rejected, and suspicious sessions are flagged for review. Gems, which can be bought, spend on cosmetic armour, helmets and weapons. No purchase in the app produces a verified rep, and only verified reps move a title or a division.

No. Every chapter, every boss, every title from Ashigaru to Daimyo and every division from Bronze to Master is reachable on a free account, and the great majority of players will get there without paying anything. Premium changes the tempo of the campaign, not its ceiling. The dojo does not end sooner for subscribers, and it does not end at all for anyone else.

The most useful way to decide is to play for a couple of weeks first. You will know quickly whether you are the kind of player who wants to keep going in one long sitting, and if you are not, there is nothing here to buy. What free actually means sets out the whole free side in one place.

Dojo Premium is bought through the App Store or Google Play, inside the app. Pricing is set per store and per region, and it moves with local currency and tax, so the number that matters is the one shown on your own store listing at the moment you look. This site does not quote it, because any figure written here would be wrong for most of the people reading it.

1. 1

   Subscribe

   Open the Premium screen in the app. The store sheet shows the current price for your region and handles the payment. The app never sees your card details.

2. 2

   Restore on a new phone

   Sign in with the same Apple or Google account and use Restore Purchases. Link your game account first if you have not, so your dojo progress travels with you.

3. 3

   Cancel

   On iOS, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. On Android, open the Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments and subscriptions. Cancelling stops the renewal and you keep Premium until the period you have paid for runs out.

When a subscription ends, nothing you earned goes with it. Your titles, your division, your verified reps, your clan and your campaign progress are all yours permanently, because none of them came from the subscription in the first place. Only the three conveniences stop. If something goes wrong with a purchase, support is a real inbox.
