How it works

Three steps. Zero excuses. Okay, maybe one.

Four workouts, a story for each and a Sunday vote. It's a game, your mates are the other players, and they will absolutely notice if you don't show.

  1. Step 01

    Four sessions. That's it.

    Gym, run, ride, swim: any four days, Monday to Sunday. We're not asking for a marathon, just proof you left the couch.

    • Run
    • Ride
    • Swim
  2. Step 02

    Pics or it didn't happen

    Post a quick story when you're done. That's +15 points in the bank and an open invitation for your mates to hype you up (or roast your form).

    Sunday: democracy, but sweatier

    Your crew votes on who pushed hardest. The winner takes the Crown, earns double points and picks next week's challenge. Power corrupts. Vote wisely.

Streaks & leaderboard

Every workout banks points and the Crown doubles them. The leaderboard shows who's carrying the crew, who's coasting and who's about to get overtaken. Screenshots will be taken.

Weekly plan

Plan the week once, then just follow orders. Future you will be grateful. Present you will complain anyway.

Invite your mates

Training's better with mates, and so is the banter. Rope in the crew and let a little peer pressure do the heavy lifting.

No pressure

Short of 4? Pull up a bench.

Fall short of four workouts and you spend next week on the bench. It’s not a punishment, just a heads-up so your mates know to rally round.

FAQ

Questions your mates will ask

Answered in advance, so you can get back to heckling them.

Do I need a smartwatch to use Bout-It?

Nope. No watch, no wearable, no problem. A photo of your sweaty face is all the proof your crew needs.

Can each group set its own rules?

Sort of. Everyone plays by the same core rule: at least 4 workouts a week. But whoever holds the Crown sets that week's challenge, so no two weeks look the same. Crown carefully.

What happens if someone misses the target?

They spend the next week on the bench. Less a punishment, more a gentle, very public nudge. Their mates will take it from there.

Is Bout-It for beginners or advanced athletes?

Both. Bout-It rewards showing up, not showing off. If you train with other people and want them to notice, you're in.

Your mates are warming up

Lift each other up. Leave no mate behind.

Start a crew, set the standard and finally give the group chat something useful to do.
