Xaetos is a gamified fitness app that rewards users for showing up to the gym consistently. This brings a whole new social experience to attending the gym and a true way to have accountability. We use geofencing to verify gym visits with a 20 minute minimum workout requirement and built in cooldowns before your next check-in. But you better get back to the gym before the timer runs out or you’ll lose your streak! You can submit gyms anywhere you are located and even while you travel to keep your streak going. You can celebrate your hard work with friends: View other users’ streaks in real-time, earn badges, challenge friends to competitions, climb the leaderboard at your gym, and be a part of a community who truly wants to see you succeed! Users will unlock real exclusive offers from brands as they hit streak milestones. Every user who unlocks a reward has proven consistency: verified check-ins, maintained streaks, and demonstrated real commitment. You earned it, we will reward it! But here’s the truth — The greatest reward isn’t in the form of discounts. As you partner with Xaetos on your health journey, we hope users build habits that support how they feel in their personal strength and discipline. The discounts are a perk, but they are not the true goal spurring on your ambition. This app is about changing the desire we all have for a truly healthier life into a tangible reality. Our desire for each Xaetos user is that we put structures in place that will motivate a forever lifestyle change rather than inspire a temporary fad. It’s not about the number on the scale or the image you see in the mirror, it’s about being here for your loved ones, feeling capable and confident to do the activities you want to, and having hope that your future can be just as bright or even better than your past. Attending a gym or working out shouldn’t be viewed any longer as a punishment, but as an opportunity. We don’t have to accept that aging inevitably equals weakness, sickness, and brokenness. We can support our bodies to be stronger as we age. Join the Xaetos family and let’s all change the culture around health and fitness. “but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 The founders of Xaetos Inc. are real people just like you. We too have experienced all the reasons that showing up for our health seems too daunting: extreme loss, health challenges, and the heaviness of daily life. But we have also personally experienced radical life transformation that has brought beauty from the ashes and has allowed hope for our futures. That is what we want for you too. Don’t stay stuck in the aftermath of your trials, but allow perseverance to bring you new life. Privacy: Your location is only used to detect gym visits and is never shared or sold.
