A FAB (Fitness Accountability Buddy) is a small, private group where everyone commits to showing up. This guide will walk you through creating and managing your FAB for maximum accountability and success.
Step 1: Choose Your FAB Size
Start with the right accountability circle. Pick how many people will be in your FAB. Smaller groups create stronger responsibility and focus.
DUO (2 members)
Intense 1-to-1 accountability. Perfect for close friends, partners, or intense accountability needs.
TRIAD (3 members) — Most Popular
The perfect balance of support and accountability. Perfect for small friend groups and balanced support.
CORE+ (4-10 members)
Stronger network support. Perfect for sports teams, larger friend groups, and communities.
Pro Tip: The size you choose defines how your accountability network works. Start small — you can always create multiple FABs for different activities!
Step 2: Define the Shared Mission
Set the goal your group commits to. Choose the activity and the metric your group will track together — steps, distance, duration, reps, or workouts.
Example Missions
Walk 5,000 steps daily: Great for beginners and busy schedules
Run 3 miles a day: Perfect for running enthusiasts
Complete 30-minute workouts: Flexible for various fitness levels
Important: Everyone commits to the same mission. If members complete it, the group streak continues. Make sure the goal is achievable for all members!
Step 3: Invite Your FAB
Bring in people who will keep you accountable. Invite trusted friends, teammates, or family members to join your FAB.
Invitation Methods
- Direct Invite: Invite directly from your contacts
- Share Link: Share a private invite link
- Activate: Members join before activation
Best Practice: Once everyone joins, the FAB becomes active and the streak begins. Choose people who are as committed as you are!
Step 4: Track Your FAB Flow
See progress across the entire group. Your FAB dashboard shows how everyone is performing.
Dashboard Features
- Visual Network: Shows who completed today
- Group Streak: Tracks consistency
- Quick Start: Button logs activity instantly
- Send Sparks: Private motivation for teammates
