NYC · Invite-only beta
Find your training partner. Chase the same goal together.
LinkUp matches you with people nearby on the same goal, level, and activity — a partner or a small crew. You train together, keep each other accountable, and hit goals you'd quit alone. Real friendships grow from chasing the same thing.
Same goal, same level, and someone who actually shows up.
Solo motivation runs out. Someone counting on you doesn't. We match you on goal, level, and activity, and a small deposit on each session keeps you both honest. Get to a second workout together, then a third. The friendship takes care of itself.
Match. Train. Repeat.
Three steps. You'll get it in ten seconds.
Match on the same goal
Scroll real, verified people and small crews near you, filtered by goal, activity, level, and schedule. Two people losing weight. Two training for the same marathon. You tap who you want to train with. No swiping.
Train together, and actually show up
Message, clear a quick video call, then meet at a public gym or park. You each put down a small deposit. Show up and it comes right back. Flake and it stings, so you both show up.
Hit your goals together
Come back for a second session, then a third. Chasing the same goal is what turns a training partner into a real friend. A standing Tuesday beats a hundred matches.
Everyone else buries safety. We lead with it.
Meeting a stranger to work out only works if it's genuinely safe. So we built the trust in first, and the rest on top.
Verified, real people
Real-SIM phone check and a photo-liveness match — one person, one account. No bots, no catfish, no recycled bans.
Video-vet before you meet
A short in-app video call is required before any first 1:1. You see they match their photos and read the vibe — before anyone commits to meeting.
Your number stays yours
Voice and video happen inside LinkUp. You never hand a stranger your phone number to coordinate a workout.
Women control who can reach them
A structural gender filter — not a moderation promise. If you're set to women-only, men literally cannot discover or message you. Off by default for everyone, opt-in only.
LinkUp is not a dating app. No romance, no swiping — ever. Just people who train together.
We're starting with two neighborhoods.
Density is everything. A partner or crew forty minutes away never becomes a habit. We're opening a corridor at a time so the first sessions actually fill. Claim a founding spot and help your block hit critical mass first.
Get in early. Shape what we build.
Just your email locks your spot. A few quick taps after — under a minute — set our launch neighborhoods and tell us what to build first. We read every one.
