The Problem

Detailing the Problem to Fix

-- Finding and keeping the perfect accountability partner has always been a hassle even though it is a great source of motivation and success in achieving ones fitness goals.

Finding a workout partner: It can be really beneficial to have an accountability buddy. "Social support positively correlates with physical activity," according to a Stanford University study. As a result, we recognize that holding people accountable motivates them to meet their fitness goals. Nonetheless, finding a partner to exercise with is often challenging. Because life happens, it might be difficult to come up with an exercise schedule and muscle-group training day that works for both parties, resulting in a progress plateau and a goal barrier.

Dependency with Long Term accountability partner Finding a long term accountability partner is most apps goals but that seems to also cause an issue. When both individuals rely on each other, it creates a sense of dependency. If one's partner becomes unavailable, it can cause a “blame game” situation that hinders reaching the fitness goals and relationship. Furthermore, relying on one person to stay focused on their goals it can cause one to forget why they started their fitness journey in the first place.

Focusing on long-term-goals: When it comes to focusing on long-term goals things can get a bit disheartening because not seeing fast results prevents people from celebrating minor victories that keep them motivated!

Other apps: There are a few apps that can help you find a workout partner. Engifit, like SoKa, connects you with other nearby users, but the benefit comes at a premium. Without the benefit of one-on-one assistance, WeightLoss Buddy connects you to a community of people who share your fitness goals and interests.

Conclusion: Finding a reliable, nearby partner with similar short-term goals doesn't exist.
