Effort is the only thing that matters. Not aesthetics. Not perfection. Just showing up, again and again. PACT turns your training into a single, clear signal so you always know if you're doing enough, and your team always knows you're in. One score. No noise. Your RTP (Real-Time Progress) score updates live from your wearable data and personal baselines. It rewards effort and consistency, not speed or strength, so it works whether you're a first-week beginner or a decade in. Showing up is what moves the number. Never train alone. Every member joins the official PACT team on day one, so you've got people around you from the first session. Build your own team, join a public one, or get a code into a private crew. Your activity posts to your team feed automatically. They see you show up. You see them show up. That's the point. 1v1 Battles. Swipe to match with a teammate. If they swipe back, you're in a 24-hour battle. One battle at a time. Effort decides the winner. Results post to your team feed when the clock runs out. Weekly Spotlight. Sunday recognition for the people leading the team across different categories. Earn the spotlight and your profile gets marked across the app for the week. Streaks that mean something. Your streak tracks consistency, not perfection. Hit milestones, share the card, keep going. Works with what you already wear. Connect Garmin Connect or Apple Health and PACT does the rest. New activity? Logged automatically and posted to your teams. Edit titles, descriptions, and photos after the fact, no pressure to fill anything in. What you get with PACT: - Real-Time-Progress score that updates from your wearable data - Automatic activity logging across all your teams - Public and private team feeds with battles, streaks, and activity posts - 24-hour 1v1 swipe-to-match battles - Weekly Spotlight leaderboards and recognition - Streak tracking and shareable milestone cards Consistency fails quietly. You don't quit, you drift. PACT makes it visible before it's too late, and gives you a team that notices when you go missing. Show up. For yourself. For your team. Subscription PACT is Β£7.99/month with a 30-day free trial. Cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings.
