Tried to do the same thing with family but ... stuff
Anyone on Strava or MyFitnessPal wanna add me as a friend?
Or Nike, or whatever you kids are in these days.

But I like it. I have a hard time staying motivated working out on my own. I will get started, do ok for a couple weeks and then I fall off.

I'm super motivated to get in better shape right now for various reasons, and this is something I will stick with because 1. It costs money 2. The gym is right around the corner from me and 3. When you go there's a coach leading the workout so I don't have to worry about what I'm going to do etc.

I know you asked for apps etc, and this isn't necessarily that. There are some apps available for members. I'm excited about my fitness right now.

registers effort over everything else

I haven't tracked in a while b/c I'm just maintaining now. Their forums are quite active. I do not track training there only food.

I use BodySpace to track my training 6 days a week. There is a social aspect. I accept friend requests but I generally do not interact there. My user name is Photoglady

Both of these apps are free. No need to pay for premium or a fitness program. Just build your own program on Bodyspace, or set your own calories and macros on myfitness pal.
