Training
A frog is allowed three training sessions per day, but if they are not used they can be used the next day. For example, if a frog is only trained once, then the next day they may be trained five times.
There are three different gyms that it is possible to train in. In order to train a player must purchase Training Tokens. The amount it costs to train depends of the 'quality' of the gym chosen to train in. The cheapest of these is called "Spuddy's Gym", and costs five tokens for a session. In this gym only one chance is given to choose the final training score. The next best gym is "Fit Frog Centre", where it costs ten tokens for a session. There are three chances to train and choose your score. The 'best' gym of the three is called "Top Gun Training Academy" and costs twenty tokens. In this gym it is possible to train five times.
Training is very simple. A frog is trained on four attributes: speed, strength, stamina and hopping. Training involves starting a randomiser in the form of four horizontal bars, resembling a bar graph, one for each attribute, which move around quickly representing different scores. The aim is to stop the randomiser at a point which appears to yield as high a training score as possible. Depending on how many chances the trainer has, they can then choose to discard the score or to take it as your score for the session. A good score is generally considered to be anything over 24.
There is also an option to automatically train a frog, which costs 100 gold per day. It will train three unused sessions with a score of 25, or 26 if 'Elite Personal Trainer' has been bought from the retirement shop.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
“I’m not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“... the time will come when no servant will be hired without a diploma from some training school, and a girl will as much expect to fit herself for house-maid or cook, as for dressmaker or any trade.”
—Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)
