SpotBuds

Find your gym people

Real people, training near you

SpotBuds shows you one person at a time — no endless scrolling. Every card tells you what actually matters:


  • Their photo and name & age


  • "Near You" at the top when they're close by


  • Their gym and their Level — earned from real logged workouts, so you know who's actually putting in the work


  • Their goals as purple tags (Muscle Gain, Weight Loss, and more)


  • How far away they are, in miles


  • A gold Founding crown if they're a founding member (the first 500 users)



Filter chips

Match with people chasing the same thing

Tap a filter along the top to only see people with your goal:



All · Weight Loss · Muscle Gain · Endurance · Flexibility · General Fitness · Powerlifting · CrossFit · Sports

Tap All to open it back up to everyone.


3 Action Buttons

Three buttons. That's it.

  • ✕ (Skip) — not a match. Next person.


  • Spot Me! — the big purple button. This sends them a spot request, asking to train together.


  • ♡ (Heart) — save them for later without sending a request yet. Tap again to unsave.


You can swipe, too. Swipe the card right to connect or left to skip, a SKIP label appears as you drag so you always know what's about to happen.



Spot Requests

You decide who trains with you

When someone taps Spot Me! on you, it lands in Spot Requests — open it from the ☰ menu (top left).

For each request you get two buttons:


  • Approve — you're connected, and you can message each other



  • Deny — it disappears, and they aren't told


Nobody reaches you without your say-so.


Match Celebration

When it's a match, you'll know

Approve a request and a full-screen celebration fires with sound and confetti then you can jump straight into a chat or View Profile.



The menu (top-left)

Everything else lives here

Tap ☰ in the top left for:


  • Spot Requests — people waiting on your answer
