Frequently Asked Questions

Your members access the platform for free and create a profile in just a few steps. From there, they can post that they are looking for a workout partner or browse and match with other members.

Members rarely quit for just one reason. It is usually a mix of weak social connection, lack of routine, and declining perceived value. When members work out alone, they are more likely to lose consistency, feel less engaged, and eventually cancel. As usage drops, the membership starts to feel too expensive. A workout partner addresses all of these at once by increasing accountability, building routine, and making the gym experience more engaging and valuable.
