The Honesty Problem in Fitness Challenges
Any fitness challenge with real money on the line runs into the same problem: how do you know everyone actually did the work? Cadoo is a money-motivated fitness-gaming app where you stake money on a fitness goal, hit it and get paid, or miss it and your stake goes to the players who finished. That only works if every rep is honest — a self-reported number isn't good enough when winnings are at stake.
How CadooVision Verifies Every Rep
CadooVision solves the honesty problem with computer vision. It uses your phone camera and AI pose detection to count reps and score form for pushups, situps, squats, pullups, and dips. For movement-based goals, steps and distance are tracked through device health via Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Together, camera verification and device health mean a result you can trust. To go deeper on how effort is graded, read how Cadoo scores your form.
Why Brands Should Care
Cadoo works for everyone — whether you're a fitness brand looking to boost fitness brand marketing and engagement through branded fitness challenges, a corporate wellness program manager building employee wellness and workplace fitness challenge initiatives for team building fitness and employee engagement, a personal trainer or fitness professional motivating clients through group fitness and coaching, or a family looking for a family fitness challenge and community fitness experience. With real money on the line, Cadoo is the ultimate fitness motivation and workout accountability tool — the fitness challenge app where you get paid to exercise with money motivation fitness. Challenge your friends in a group fitness challenge, try fitness with friends, or start a neighborhood fitness movement. For brands, explore fitness sponsorship and fitness brand activation opportunities with fitness instructor partnerships.
For a sponsor, verified reps mean every dollar of a prize pool rewards genuine effort. That trust is what turns a branded challenge into real engagement instead of an honor-system giveaway.
