Anyone can sell a fitness competition. The hard part is getting entrants to still be logging workouts in week three instead of quietly quitting the moment it gets hard. When there are no real stakes and no way to prove a result, a competition becomes a spreadsheet full of unverifiable claims and a leaderboard nobody trusts.
- Entrants sign up with good intentions, then drop off long before the finish line.
- Self-reported scores are impossible to trust, so winners always feel disputable.
- Manually verifying results and chasing screenshots eats hours you don't have.
- Without real stakes, there's nothing keeping a busy participant in the game.
How Cadoo solves it
Real money on the line, real follow-through
Entrants stake their own money on hitting the competition's goals, so the motivation to keep going comes built in. Skin in the game turns casual sign-ups into participants who actually compete to the end.
Every rep and step verified, so no one can cheat the board
Cadoo's AI counts reps and scores form straight from the phone camera for pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds, while daily steps read directly from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Every result on your leaderboard is proven, not claimed, so winners are never in doubt.
Leagues, leaderboards, and shareable wins that spread
Head-to-head leagues and live leaderboards keep entrants checking their rank all week, and every standout effort becomes a skinned highlight clip worth posting. Each share puts your competition in front of the next wave of participants.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo help Fitness Competitions?
Cadoo gives competition organizers a platform where entrants stake real money on their goals, every rep and step is verified automatically, and standings run on trustworthy leagues and leaderboards. That means higher completion, zero manual score-checking, and winners no one can dispute, plus shareable highlight clips that pull in new entrants.
How does Cadoo stop people from cheating or faking their results?
Camera-based activities like pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds are counted and form-scored by AI directly from the phone, so bad reps don't count. Step totals are read from Apple Health or Google Health Connect rather than typed in. The camera handles reps only, never steps, which keeps every score on the board legitimate.
