Band together to improve your fitness by competing in a group fitness 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 the 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. -Integrates with the Apple Health App- GymRats has the ability to import workouts from the Apple Health app. This not only includes activities recorded on the Apple Watch, but any activity saved to your device.
best accountability app for fitness!
loveeee the features of this app, especially being able to chat. PLEASE LET US REACT / REPLY TO CHAT MESSAGES! editing feature would be awesome too!
Love the app BUT
Need to make a feature where the user can respond to certain messages or like messages within the group chat.
Horrible Update
The most recent update made it so you can’t backlog your workouts, only log a workout the day of. Sometimes we forget to log yesterday’s workout and want to get credit for it, but now we can’t do that. I’ve enjoyed this app up until now. My friends and I will not be using this app going forward until this issue is fixed.
Garbage Update (March 2024)
The app was updated and literally downgraded. Step challenges are now completely useless without having multiple additional steps just to track them appropriately. Some auto generated things like activity titles were removed. We used the app to have both activity and steps challenges. It use to be one of the few apps capable of doing both and they eliminated the one unique feature to other apps that just do steps or just activities. Disappointing. We will be finding a new challenge platform after this month.
Picture required? Can’t tie
It looks like in order to log your activity, you are required to post a picture which I don’t like. Also, my husband and I are tied in activities but it says he is second? Do you have a way to show ties?
Review
This app is so good! You can edit anything you need and you can have several options of what you want the competition to be. You can make or join a group and you ca Bc also leave it. You can text and see who’s in the group. It’s a great app!
Open points?
My friends and I use this all the time for group challenges. But, it looks like you got rid of open point style challenges. One challenge we like to do is pick you poison, where each lady picks four possible points a day to get. We all pick our own four points at the beginning of the month and use this ap to track them. It is really fun. But for June, it looks like there is no more open point option. There are these new hustle points, which look super fun for later, but they won’t work for open points. We have also used open points for other challenges where the group says what the points equate to rather than the ap telling us. Please bring back open point tracking.
