A fitness accountability app for people who skip workouts alone
A fitness accountability app makes your workouts visible to someone who cares whether you did them. On DuoShare, you share a workout goal with a friend, check in with a photo if you like, and see when they finish. You can also choose to show Apple Health workouts, exercise minutes and steps.
Why fitness needs accountability most
Workouts are the habit people quit most often, because they are hard and easy to postpone. Having someone else expect you is one of the most reliable fixes. In a classic weight-loss study by Wing and Jeffery (1999), people who joined with friends were far more likely to finish the program and keep the weight off than people who joined alone.
