This is your Guest Pass - Discover gyms worth finding. Guest Pass is a curated gym discovery app built to help you find unique, independently owned gyms, purchase a pass, and start training with more freedom. Instead of trying to list every gym everywhere, Guest Pass focuses on finding the hidden gems. The independent gyms with character, great equipment, passionate owners, strong communities, and something that makes them worth discovering. Whether you are traveling, new to an area, or simply looking for somewhere different to train, Guest Pass makes it easier to find a gym that fits what you are looking for. Explore our curated directory, learn about each gym, see photos and important facility information, and find gyms you may never have discovered otherwise. At participating locations, you can purchase a Guest Pass directly through the app and redeem it at the gym using a secure, unique QR code. No membership or long-term contract required. VERIFIED BY GUEST PASS Look for the Guest Pass Verified badge. Verified gyms are facilities that the Guest Pass team has physically visited and toured as part of the complementary Guest Pass gym tour series hosted by Guest Pass creator David Ziegler, the "Ziegler Monster", giving you another way to discover gyms we have experienced firsthand. FOR GYM OWNERS Guest Pass is built to support independently owned gyms and the people behind them. If your gym is not currently listed, you can submit it for consideration. Because Guest Pass is a curated directory, listings are reviewed and created by our team rather than automatically added to a massive database. Already see your gym on Guest Pass? Simply create your free account, find your gym, and claim the existing profile. Once claimed, you can manage your gym’s information and keep your listing accurate and up to date. Gym owners can also opt into digital Guest Pass sales, allowing visitors to purchase access through the app and redeem their pass at check-in with a secure QR code. It is an easy way to welcome new visitors and create an additional revenue stream with unlimited earning potential. Guest Pass is free to download and free for gyms to use. FIND GREAT GYMS. SUPPORT INDEPENDENT GYMS. TRAIN ANYWHERE.

The workout app that makes quitting difficult. AccountaBuild is fitness accountability with the people you actually know. Join a small group: your friends, your gym buddies, your family. Every workout, weigh-in, and logged meal shows up for all of them. No followers, no influencers, no strangers. Just your people, watching you show up. EARN FITNESS POINTS. CLIMB THE RANKS. Every log earns Fitness Points, scored against goals you set yourself. Tougher goals are worth more. Climb a competitive ladder from Iron to Challenger, division by division, exactly like a ranked game. Miss a week and you slip. Your group will notice. That's the point. A WEEKLY RACE THAT RESETS EVERY MONDAY. The leaderboard isn't about who joined first. Everyone re-enters at zero each week. Streaks build multipliers. Hit checkpoints on your weight goal and bank points along the way, not just at the finish line. SIGN YOUR WEEK. Every Monday, hold to sign. A small ritual that tells your group you're in this week. Everyone sees who signed. Everyone sees who didn't. CHEER. NUDGE. CELEBRATE. Send hype when a teammate logs. Nudge them when they haven't. When someone hits their goal weight or jumps a rank tier, the whole group celebrates, automatically. SYNCS WHILE YOUR PHONE IS IN YOUR POCKET. Connect Apple Health and workouts appear on their own. Finish a session on your watch and your group sees it minutes later, before you've touched the app. Manual logging takes seconds when you'd rather type it. YOUR WEIGHT STAYS PRIVATE. Teammates see your workouts, streaks, points, and progress. Never your body weight. Health data is never sold, never used for ads, never shared. BUILT FOR SMALL, REAL GROUPS. • Group chat with your group's logs woven into the feed • Weekly report every Monday: what you earned and why • "See the math": every point is explainable, no black box • Badges for streaks, comebacks, goals crushed, and marathon weeks • Progress dashboards: you vs your group, week by week Nobody left behind. Sign your week. Show up.
