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

Avoid if using Android. Doesn't automatically import activities from Google Fit, even when Health Connect is enabled. Even after manually adding activities, no points are given. My colleagues with iPhones have no similar problems. Seems this company prioritizes iOS development.
