The evidence

Competition drives progress.

Competing beats everything

In a clinical trial of 602 people, the group that competed with friends walked 100 more miles on average than the control group — outperforming everyone who collaborated, supported each other, or tracked solo.

STEP UP Randomized Trial, 2019 ↗

Competition builds consistency

Most motivation fades after the study ends. In the same trial, the competition group was the only one still showing significantly higher results 12 weeks later. The others dropped off. They kept going.

STEP UP follow-up, 2019 ↗

Friends push you the hardest

Research found that competing with someone whose opinion you care about — a real friend, not an anonymous username — produces measurably better performance. The closer the relationship, the harder you try.

Match formats

Choose your race format.

Same goal, three different ways to settle it. Pick the one that makes the fairest fight.

Race to a shared milestone

Everyone chases the same number, and the first to reach it wins. First to invest $10k. First to 100 pull-ups. Chasing a time or a golf score? First one under the number takes it.

Shared target $10,000
You $7,200
Marcus $6,400
Jay $5,100

Race to different targets

Everyone sets their own starting line and their own target, so a beginner and a veteran can race fairly. Progress is measured as how far you've come toward your number — first to 100% wins.

Bench press · own targets
You 80 → 100 kg
75%
Marcus 60 → 90 kg
60%
Jay 100 → 140 kg
45%

Best by deadline

No target — just a date. Log as you go, and whoever's standing highest when the clock runs out wins. Most pages read by month end. Fastest 5km by October 1st — lowest wins when it's a time.
