How it works

Accountability, without the guilt trip

No gates, no setup friction — every account starts as a group of one, and inviting a buddy is just sharing a code.

Start or join a group

Every account is a group of one by default — invite a buddy anytime by sharing your group code, link, or email.

Check in when you train

"At the gym" or "at home," with an optional gym name and a one-tap flag if you need a spotter.

Watch it happen live

See who's training right now, react to a set, and thread comments on anyone's session or check-in.

Stay on each other's radar

Nudge someone who's gone quiet, confirm tonight's session, and get a weekly recap of how the group did.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is SetBuddies free?+

Yes — SetBuddies is free to use for groups of up to 5 people, including check-ins, the activity feed, and the emergency alert feature.

Do I need a training partner to use it?+

No. Every account starts as a group of one, so there's no separate onboarding gate — you can log workouts and track progress solo, then invite a buddy whenever you're ready.

Do I need to build my own workout plan?+

No — start from a ready-made novice, intermediate, or pro template (gym or fully equipment-free), or build your own from a searchable exercise library. Either way, it's fully editable afterward, and you can group exercises into supersets or circuits. And on any day you can't make it to the gym, get an AI-generated home version of that exact day's workout instead — same muscles, no equipment.

Can I share my achievements?+

Yes — a new personal best or a training streak generates a branded, ready-to-post image right in the app, which you can share straight to Instagram, X, or anywhere else in one tap.

How does the emergency alert work?+

Tapping the emergency button starts a short confirmation flow — you type your group's invite code to confirm it's a deliberate action, then it immediately notifies everyone in your group and surfaces one-tap calling for your region's emergency number and your personal emergency contact. It doesn't share your live location, and it doesn't dial anything automatically — you make the call yourself. See our Safety & Emergency Disclaimer for the full details.

What happens to my data?+

Your training data belongs to you. We only use it to power your check-ins, feed, and progress charts, and you can export or delete it at any time from Settings. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Can my group be bigger than 5 people?+

Not right now — SetBuddies is built around small, real-world training groups, and 5 is the current cap per group.

What platforms is it available on?+

SetBuddies is an installable web app (PWA) — open app.setbuddies.com in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen. It works on both iOS and Android this way, with no app-store download required.
