Functional fitness lives on intensity and community, but the energy stops at the door. When a member skips a week, then two, the accountability that packed your classes quietly disappears — and by the time you notice the empty rig, they've already stopped paying. Keeping the fire lit outside class hours is the retention battle nobody trained you for.
- Members who thrive on the group WOD lose all momentum on rest days and off-weeks.
- No-shows creep up after the honeymoon phase, and empty class slots signal a cancellation coming.
- Your most competitive members have nowhere to channel that drive between sessions.
- You have no visibility into whether members are actually moving when they're not on the floor.
How Cadoo solves it
Put real stakes on the whiteboard
Members bet their own money on hitting a rep target, step goal, or plank hold — so the accountability that fuels your classes follows them home. Money on the line turns a skipped workout from no big deal into a real loss they'd rather win.
Cheat-proof reps, no honor system
Cadoo's AI counts and form-scores pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds straight from the phone camera, while daily steps read from Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Every WOD challenge is verified, so leaderboard bragging rights are actually earned.
Leagues, leaderboards, and clips they'll post
Run head-to-head bets, box-wide leagues, and leaderboards that keep the rivalry alive all week. Every win turns into a shareable, skinned highlight clip your members send to friends — free reach for your gym and a reason to come back and defend the top spot.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo help Functional Fitness Gyms?
Cadoo extends the accountability and competition of your classes into the hours between them. Members bet money on hitting verified fitness goals, prove their reps on camera, climb leagues and leaderboards, and share their wins — which keeps them engaged, showing up, and paying members longer.
How does Cadoo stop members from cheating their reps?
The phone camera runs Cadoo's AI to count and form-score pushups, squats, situps, pullups, dips, and plank holds, so sloppy or fake reps don't count. Daily steps come from Apple Health or Google Health Connect rather than the camera. Every result on the leaderboard is verified, which is exactly what a functional fitness crowd expects.
