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.

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.
