BTME — Beat Me: Full Product Overview
Core Concept
BTME (Beat Me) is a competitive athletic performance scoring platform that applies an ELO rating system — originally developed for chess — to real-world fitness training. Unlike step counters or calorie trackers, BTME generates a single long-term performance number reflecting the quality and consistency of an athlete's training. The score rises with disciplined high-intensity training and decays with inactivity, ensuring it always represents current fitness rather than historical achievement.
The ELO Algorithm
BTME's rating algorithm is a modified ELO adapted for asynchronous athletic competition. Each session is evaluated against the athlete's personal performance baseline — not against other users directly — generating a score delta. The delta is shaped by multiple weighted inputs including consistency, training output, and volume relative to recent history. Changes are capped per rank tier to prevent gaming. Score decay begins after the protected rest window and accelerates with extended inactivity.
Competitive Structure
Athletes are ranked globally, regionally (state/country), and within private groups. Ranks update in real time after each scored session. The league system currently operates with three beta tiers — Rising (0–1,499), Contender (1,500–2,199), and Challenger (2,200+) — with a full 7-tier ranking structure launching with the public release in January 2027. The top 1% globally receive a badge visible on their profile and in all leaderboards.
Data Inputs
BTME ingests data from Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin Connect, and Whoop via official APIs. Tracked signals include: workout classification, session duration, average and peak heart rate, time in each heart rate zone (Rest, Fat Burn, Cardio, Peak), estimated caloric expenditure, frequency over rolling 7-day and 30-day windows, and rest-day recovery indicators. Manual logging is available for off-device workouts.
Privacy Architecture
Health data is processed on-device where computationally feasible. Server-side computation uses anonymized performance deltas rather than raw health metrics. Users set profiles to Public, Private, or Group-Only. BTME does not sell or license user data to third parties. Users may delete their account and all associated data at any time.
Team and Studio Features
Gyms, sports teams, corporate wellness programs, and training studios access BTME via the Early Access program. Team admins receive a dashboard with bulk invite tools, branded leaderboards, weekly performance reports, and configurable visibility settings. Pricing is negotiated for organizations above 25 members.
Platform and Availability
Available on iOS 14+ and Android 10+. Currently in Early Access. Free to download. Premium features planned post-launch. Contact info@btme.us for team or studio onboarding.
