GymRats · Fitness challenge

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I have enjoyed using the GymRats app. I think it has so much potential! One of the best features is the check-in system, which makes it easy to keep your group accountable. It’s also a great way to stay connected with friends and coworkers who can’t physically work out with you but still want to stay on track together. Syncing workouts from your Apple health is super easy and the photo upload feature really ties everything together. That said, I do think the app could benefit from a few improvements. First, the name is a bit cringey and doesn’t fully reflect what the app offers—I probably would have found it sooner if it had a name that better conveyed its purpose. As for features, I’d love to see: •Expanded chat capabilities, similar to Discord or Slack, where users can react to posts and create threads/ pin posts. •Personal weight loss goals and weight loss focused competitions to keep users motivated. •Nutrition or meal post features to complement fitness progress. •Profile upgrades, including fitness goals, a bio section, highlights, and photos to personalize the experience. •A streak system to encourage consistency and reward regular check-ins. •The ability to share the leaderboard on socials would also be a great option. Overall, GymRats is a fantastic tool for accountability, and I’m excited to see how it evolves! Looking forward to future updates.

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.

This is perfect!! I love how customizable this is. My friend and I are working out together but hated apps that made you weigh yourself and count calories. We just want to focus on moving and enjoying fitness, not worrying so much about obsessing over macros. We’ve been using this 3 weeks so far and it’s super motivating! I wish you could edit the photo after the workout is posted, though. It would also be nice to see the progress total—such as total number of minutes or distance or whatever goal it is. I’d love an option with a progress bar or percentage showing how far into the challenge you are too. Either way—it’s nice there’s different options like hustle points, which we’re going to try next. PS for those who do want to track calories burned, you can have that option. It also has distance, time, and some other options, too! This is a great app.
