Our Story

WHY WE BUILT IT.

Fitness apps track everything — but they don't make you compete. They don't make the work feel like it matters beyond a closed loop. We built BTME because accountability changes everything.

MOST FITNESS
APPS DON'T
PUSH YOU.

Tracking your steps is meaningless if there's no consequence for stopping. We identified three core failures in the existing fitness tech landscape.

Data Without Stakes

Closing rings and hitting streaks feels good briefly — but there's no competition, no ranking, no one to beat. The data disappears into a feed.

No Penalty for Stopping

Current apps celebrate activity but don't penalize inactivity. Real fitness has consequences. Your score should reflect when you stop showing up.

Isolated Experience

Social features on existing apps are passive — likes on a run, a shared photo. There's no live competition, no ranked leaderboard, no reason to go harder.

WHAT MAKES
BTME DIFFERENT.

01

COMPETITIVE ELO

One number that reflects your real current fitness. It rises with consistent effort and decays with inactivity. It's honest. You can't fake it.

02

ALWAYS COMPETING

Every workout is implicitly a competition. You're ranked globally and locally in real time. Every session shifts your standing against fellow athletes.

03

DECAY MECHANICS

Skip a week, feel the slip. BTME's scoring engine penalizes inactivity just like real fitness does. Your score is a live measure of your current state.

04

PRIVATE CIRCLES

Create a leaderboard for your gym, your team, or your company. Internal accountability with external global rankings. Both live in the same app.

05

WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR

No new hardware. Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Whoop — BTME plugs into what you already use and applies a competitive layer on top.

06

LONG-TERM RATING

Not a 30-day challenge. Not a streak. A permanent, living performance score that follows you for years. It's your athletic identity, quantified.

BTME VS.
THE REST.

We believe competition is one of the most powerful fitness tools available — and it's been missing from your phone.

BTME is the platform that finally brings it. Not the competition of a weekend race or a scheduled challenge. The constant, live, real-time competition that makes elite athletes train the way they do — because the scoreboard never stops.
