Accountability Pods are small group support structures designed to help you stay committed to your fitness goals. Each pod consists of 4-6 members who support each other through weekly commitments and collective progress tracking.
How Pods Work
Pods create a peer-support environment where members:
- Set weekly fitness commitments every Monday
- Track collective progress as a group
- Encourage each other through messaging
- Build accountability streaks over time
Pod Types
- Self-Selected: Browse and join public pods that interest you
- Course Assigned: Auto-matched with classmates from your course
- Goal Matched: Paired with members who share similar fitness goals
- Random: Randomly assigned to a pod
Pod Roles
- Leader: Creates the pod, manages membership, can transfer leadership
- Member: Participates in commitments, messaging, and encouragement
Public vs Private Pods
- Public Pods: Anyone can browse and request to join
- Private Pods: Require an 8-character join code to enter
Trust Level Requirements
Pods are part of the eFit community system which uses trust levels:
- Level 2 (Motivated Achiever): Required to join pods
- Level 3 (Peer Leader): Required to create pods
You can increase your trust level by staying active in the community.
