What the referee checks
Every rep in every duel is judged by the same four rules. Miss one and it doesn't count — for you or your rival.
Depth
Chest, hips and thighs reach the floor.
No-rep if missedControl
Every rep goes all the way down and up — no half reps, no bouncing.
No-rep if missedLockout
Arms fully extended before the next rep starts.
No-rep if missedBody line
Body stays straight — no sagging hips, no piking.
No-rep if missed
Challenge. Compete. Rematch.
No wearables, no equipment. A phone and about two meters of floor.
Challenge a friend
Send a duel link in Telegram. They join in one tap — live, or later as a ghost.
Compete, rep by rep
60 seconds on the clock. In a ghost duel you race your rival's recorded set, rep by rep.

Only rep counts and timestamps are kept. Delete them anytime.
Offline-friendly

Prize challenges: video only with consent
In official prize challenges each set is recorded with your consent, only to confirm it was you. The videos are deleted automatically after the challenge.

Questions
How do duels work?
Pick a friend, or race a ghost of their best set. 60 seconds, the same rules for both — the camera counts every rep.
What happens to my video?
In ordinary sets, duels and squad challenges: nothing. It is processed on your phone in real time and never saved or uploaded — rivals only see your rep count. In official prize challenges you agree when joining that every set is recorded and uploaded, only to confirm that the right person did the reps. Those videos are deleted automatically after the challenge.
How do official challenges work?
FitUP runs them: they're free to join (18+) and the top places win real prize money. Every verified set during the challenge counts automatically — the rules page of each challenge has the details.
How accurate is the counting?
The referee checks depth, control, lockout and body line on every rep. If you think it miscounted, tap “Wrong count” after the set — that feedback trains it.
What do I need?
An Android 8+ or iPhone (iOS 16+) phone and about two meters of floor. Lean the phone against something low, side-on to you.
Can my company or university run a challenge?
Yes. Teams get a private space and team-vs-team cups, and companies can sponsor an official challenge or run a private one. See “For sponsors” or write to us.
Is it really free?
Yes, for everyone. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases — every feature is free. Want an extra challenge, a streak rescue, another squad slot or a day of advanced stats? Watch a short video, if you like.
Are there ads?
Yes — that's how FitUP stays free. Small banners appear only on the Today, Progress and Challenges tabs. Never during or right after a set, and no full-screen ads. Videos play only when you choose to watch one for a bonus.
