How Partner Workout Accountability Works | Goals App

3 Steps to Unbreakable Fitness Consistency

Partner accountability + real stakes + automatic tracking = fitness consistency that actually lasts

Invite Partner

Invite your friend, colleague, or family member to be your accountability partner. Choose someone who shares your commitment to consistency.

2

Set Stakes

Put real money on your weekly commitment. Miss your workouts, your stake gets donated to the charity of your choice. Make excuses expensive and consistency profitable.

3

Set Your Stakes

Put real money on your commitment. Research shows loss aversion is 2x more powerful than potential gains. When missing workouts costs money, consistency becomes non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my partner quits?

You can invite a new partner anytime. Your streak and progress continue uninterrupted. By default goals are set 4wks at a time - at the end of each month you'll be asked to renew, up your goal, decrease and you can decide based on what life has ahead!

What counts as a workout?

Any intentional physical activity tracked by your device: gym sessions, runs, walks, yoga, sports, or home workouts.

How much should I stake?

Start with an amount that would genuinely hurt to lose but won't break your budget. Most users find $20-$50 per week effective.

Can I change my commitment?

You can adjust goals and stakes only once a month at the end of your 4-week commitment period. This timing aligns with when you decide to renew, increase, or decrease your goals based on what life has ahead!
