Frequently asked questions
The questions that come up the most, answered directly.
Is Treinou free?+
Yes. Creating an account, joining challenges, checking in and tracking your progress is free.
Do I need to train at a gym?+
No. Lifting, running, crossfit, home workouts, martial arts, cycling — any activity counts as a check-in, with metrics tailored to each workout type.
How do my friends join my challenge?+
You share an invite link or code. Whoever clicks lands straight on the challenge screen and joins in under a minute.
Are my weight and measurements visible to others?+
No. Body weight and measurements are private by design — only you can see them. The feed only shows your check-ins and achievements.
What happens if I break my streak?+
The streak resets, but every achievement you've unlocked is yours forever. And you can start a new streak the same day.
How does the challenge ranking work?+
Rankings are based on consistency: every check-in within your group's weekly goal earns points. It's not about how much you lift — it's about showing up.
Can I join more than one challenge at a time?+
Yes. You can create and join as many challenges as you want, and a single check-in counts for all your groups.
What shows up on my feed?+
Check-ins from your group members and from athletes you follow. You can react, comment and mention friends with @.
What are stories?+
Photos and videos of your workout that stay up for 24 hours in the bar at the top of the feed — perfect proof that you actually trained.
Can I log the exercises in my workout?+
Yes. You can detail your check-in with activities, sets, weights and distances, using an exercise catalog with metrics per workout type.
Does the app track my PRs (personal records)?+

Can I save my workouts as a routine?+
Yes. After a check-in you can save it as a routine and reuse it with one tap on your next workouts.
How do achievements work?+
You unlock medals automatically by hitting milestones: streaks, workout counts, workout times (like early-morning sessions) and group goals.
What is the weekly and monthly recap?+
At the end of each week and month, everyone in the challenge gets a summary: who climbed the ranking, who dropped and who owes workouts.
