Rival is a fitness accountability app built around one simple idea: it's easier to stay consistent when people are watching. Instead of tracking workouts in private, Rival lets you compete with friends based on discipline and follow-through. How it works: • Set your weekly plan (workout days and recovery days) • Post a daily check-in — workout or planned recovery • Earn points for showing up • Compete in private groups where missed days are visible Both workouts and recovery days earn points — because sticking to your plan is what matters. Take on named challenges: • Pick an event — 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Murph, or Hyrox • Join a monthly cohort and race for the best time • Connect Apple Health to attach a real workout and verify your result — or enter your time by hand • Talk strategy with your cohort in built-in chat Why Rival is different: • No fake streaks • No guessing who actually trained • No motivation hacks Just proof, consistency, and friendly competition. Whether you're training hard or rebuilding a routine, Rival keeps you honest — and keeps you going.
