How to solve gym sudoku
The last machine free
For one empty square, rule out the kettlebell, the yoga mat and every picture its row, column and box already hold. If one is left, it goes in.
A spot for the dumbbell
Take one picture, the dumbbell, and one box. A square is out if its row or column already has a dumbbell. The one square left is its spot.
Hit a wall? Hint shows the next square and which picture it needs.
The gym pictures
Twelve weights and machines from the gym, drawn for this game: free weights like the dumbbell, the kettlebell and the weight plate, a bench and a step, a treadmill and an exercise bike, a punching bag, gym rings, a resistance band and a yoga mat. A 9 × 9 takes nine of the twelve.

Questions
What is gym sudoku?
A fitness puzzle: a sudoku with gym gear in place of numbers. Each row, column and box holds every picture once: four on the 4 × 4, nine of the twelve on the 9 × 9.
Do I need to know the gym to play?
No. The gear is only a set of symbols: the punching bag counts like a 5, and the rule is the sudoku rule. Medium and hard are full 9 × 9 sudokus.
Why do the weight plate and the ab wheel never meet?
Both are a round disc with a hole when small, and the gym rings look like the resistance band. The game keeps each pair on separate boards, so every picture is easy to tell apart.
Does each board have a single answer?
Yes. A board is made when you press a level and kept only if the gear fits one way.
What if I get stuck?
Press Hint. It shows the next square and the picture that goes there, after pointing to any picture in the wrong place.
Are there more picture sudokus?
Yes, eighteen more with the same rules. After the gym, Sports Sudoku, Tools Sudoku and Robot Sudoku are good next boards; each set keeps its own best times.
