About this app

Band together to improve your fitness by competing in a group challenge. Enlist friends, family, teammates, colleagues, or whoever, to become gym rats. More effective than a simple step challenge, the goal is to workout more often; any activity counts.

-How it works-

* Create or join a group challenge
* Invite as many people as you'd like
* Post workouts to the group
* Keep doing that, a lot
* See leader board and have fun competing

-Flexibility-

The app is free form and allows for creating your own rules of competition. Score by total number of workouts, miles, minutes, calories, steps, or come up with your own point system. All that's required for a workout is a photo and a title. The photo can be of the gym equipment, a sweaty selfie, a screenshot of another app, or whatever your group deems acceptable.

-Accountability-

Don't care about score? No problem, the app can be used as a general group activity log. Keep each other accountable by having a shared space for tracking workouts.

Ratings and reviews

Looks okay so far. A little basic, but that's really all we need. My only complaint is that when I link urls to workouts on youtube or tiktok, it doesn't show up as a link, and there doesn't seem to be any way to copypaste from what other users have typed. That really defeats a lot of the purpose for us.

I was actually about to subscribe to the Pro version, but I noticed a missing feature that is essential for my workflow. I would love to see an option to make check-in details mandatory. Currently, many users just upload a photo without specifying the duration or the type of physical activity. It would be amazing if the admin/user could set these fields as 'required' under the Check-in Verification settings.

Definitely a great way to keep yourself motivated and consistent, specially if you wish to build up from meeting a real life comunity that enjoys exercise.
