Working out with friends: The #1 secret to staying motivated

You are motivated. You bought a gym membership, new shoes, and you're going 4 times a week. Then, one rainy evening, you are tired. You skip a session. The next day too. A month later, you've quit.

The Power of Accountability

The biggest obstacle in fitness is not a lack of strength, it's a lack of accountability. When you train alone, nobody knows if you skipped your session. Nobody is waiting for you. That is why people who train with a partner (or in a club) have infinitely higher retention rates. Social emulation drives effort.

Gamifying your workouts with Loaden Teams

We wanted to recreate this group dynamic, even if you train at different times than your friends. Loaden features an exclusive Teams system.

• Share routines in 1 click: You can create a team routine. The whole group follows the same program and can compare stats.
• Earn XP: Just like a video game, every completed team session grants you XP. You can see which friend has the highest level this month.
• Don't let the team down: When you see the notification that your friend just finished their leg day, it becomes much harder to stay on the couch.
