At BetterYou, we believe personal growth is more fun—and more effective—when done together. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Buddy Groups, a new way for users to team up, run challenges, and stay motivated together.
With Buddy Groups, there are no limits—you can invite as many people as you want, create engaging challenges, and log progress with a real-time activity feed. And the best part? Anyone in the group can start a challenge, making it a truly community-driven experience.
How Buddy Groups Work
Join or Create a Group
Start by creating a Buddy Group or joining an existing one. Whether it’s your gym friends, study buddies, or a group of coworkers, you can bring people together to stay accountable for your goals.
Run Challenges—Together!
Unlike other apps where only admins have control, in BetterYou’s Buddy Groups, anyone can start a challenge. Want to see who can log the most sleep hours, take the most steps, or reduce screen time the most? Simply create a challenge and invite your group to participate!
Stay Engaged with the Activity Feed
Your Buddy Group has a live activity feed where you can share updates, celebrate milestones, and encourage each other. You’ll see posts like:
🏆 Someone starting a new challenge
👏 Reactions and comments from group members
🎉 Milestones being hit
It’s like a social feed for self-improvement, keeping motivation high and making the journey more interactive.
Log Progress & Celebrate Wins 👏
With built-in logging and engagement tools, everyone can see their progress and cheer each other on. Whether it’s a friendly step-count competition or a group meditation challenge, the activity feed keeps things fun and social.
Step-by-step: Create your own Buddy Group
Navigate to the Groups Section of Your Community Tab:
Open your app and head to the community tab. Look for a section labeled "Groups"—that's where you'll manage and create your buddy groups.
Tap "Explore" on the Right Side:
You'll likely see a button or link to "Explore" located on the right side of the screen (or somewhere near the top). Tap on that to explore available groups and options.
Find and Tap the "New Group" Button:
Scroll down until you reach the bottom of the screen. There should be a button that says “New Group” or “Create Group.” Tap that button to start creating your own buddy group.
From here, you can follow an easy flow within the app designed to guide you through the group set up process.
Name Your Group: You’ll be prompted to give your group a name. Choose something that reflects the purpose of your group or your collective goal.
Add a Group Description: Write a brief description that explains what your group is about. This helps potential members understand the focus and what they can expect from joining.
Add a Group Photo or Emoji
Select a Goal for the Group: Pick the goal that best matches what you want to achieve as a group.
Make the Group Public or Private
Set Challenge Permissions
Invite Your Buddies: Invite people to join your group! You can send invites to friends, family, or anyone you want to be part of the group.
Create the Group: Once everything is set up and you’re happy with how your group looks, tap the “Create” button to finalize and make your buddy group live.
Why Buddy Groups Matter
Research shows that having social accountability significantly improves habit formation. When you’re surrounded by supportive people working toward similar goals, you’re more likely to stick with it, push past challenges, and celebrate every win.
