You start the squat challenge fired up on day one, then day four your legs are sore, the couch wins, and the streak quietly dies. Nobody's watching, nothing's on the line, and "I'll double up tomorrow" turns into never. A challenge with no stakes is just a note-to-self you're free to ignore.
- You commit to daily squats in your head, but there's zero consequence when you skip, so skipping wins.
- Rep-counting apps run on the honor system — you could half-squat or fake the whole set and still tick the box.
- Doing squats alone in your room is boring, and boredom is what kills the habit by week two.
- You never see proof you actually put in the work, so the progress never feels earned or real.
How Cadoo solves it
Real money on the line, real reason to squat
Bet money with friends on hitting your squat goal. When your own cash is riding on today's set, "I'll do it later" stops being an option — you drop down and knock out the reps because losing the bet stings more than sore quads.
Every squat verified, so wins are earned not claimed
Cadoo counts your squats and scores your form with AI straight from your phone camera. Shallow reps and fake sets don't count, which means nobody can cheat their way to the pot and every squat you're credited is one you genuinely did.
Compete, climb, and show off the grind
Bet head-to-head or in a group, climb the leagues and leaderboards, and turn your best sets into shareable skinned highlight clips. The squat challenge stops being a lonely chore and becomes something you actually want to come back to.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo know I really did the squats?
Your phone camera watches each set and AI counts the reps while scoring your form. Squats that are too shallow or don't hit proper depth don't get credited, so you can only win by doing the real thing.
What happens to my money if I hit my squat goal?
You put money into the game up front, and hitting your goal wins you a share of the pot. Meet the challenge and you get paid; skip the squats and you're playing with the stakes you set.
Do I need friends to start a squat challenge?
It's more fun with friends, but you can join challenges with other players too. Either way you're betting real money and climbing the leagues and leaderboards against people chasing the same goal.
