Gauntlet Challenge

Share your fitness activity and challenges with friends. No leaderboards. No followers. Nobody's keeping score.

Gauntlet Challenge is a private space to share fitness activities and challenges with close friends because we do better together.

Set a challenge — a first 5k, a daily push-up, getting back to the gym — and invite a small group of friends to come along. Some might take it on with you. Others are there to cheer you on. Supporting and challenging each other.

Not another app you already have

• More than a message thread, where messages are saved and chats go stale. Each Activity and Challenge has its own circle of friends, with many scheduling options, including randomised.
• Nothing like generalist social media. The right place for fitness, without the audience to perform to and without the highlight reel of everyone's whole life.
• Not a fitness tracker. Nothing measures or ranks you, and nothing is tied to a particular device. No leaderboards, no follower counts. Shared, not compared.

Not a performance app There is no comparison here. Nothing scores you against anyone, and there is no public feed. A hard day shared matters as much as a good one. It is not for serious athletes chasing performance metrics, and it is not for anyone who is happiest being ranked. There are excellent apps for that. This is not one of them.

Private by design No search. No address book. No strangers finding you. You're only ever connected to people you invite yourself — or who have invited you and which you have accepted. Updates fade after a day, so nothing piles up into a permanent record. Your data is never sold.

A five-minute app, on purpose See how your friends are doing, give someone a boost, and get on with your day. There's no advertising reward for us for time you spend in the app — our funding is a flat membership and billboard-style sponsorship, nothing that depends on holding onto you.

How it works

• Set a challenge, or accept a friend's invite
• Share honest updates with your small group — they fade after a day
• React with meaning: Powerup, Smashing it, Consistent, Chill
• Daily Activities deal you one small thing each morning, from your own list
• Finish a challenge and decide what's worth keeping, privately
