Why most accountability features fail
Most fitness accountability apps stop at reminders and streak counters. Both are private. If nobody else can see whether you trained, skipping costs you nothing beyond a number resetting on your own phone.
The accountability that changes behaviour is social and specific. Not 'be healthier' — 'you are 218 points behind the person one place above you, and the week closes Sunday'.
A score turns effort into something comparable
Propal converts your week into a Propal Score. Consistency across days carries the most weight, then active minutes, then variety, workouts logged, and your streak. Verified activity from a connected service earns a bonus.
Daily caps keep the score honest — you can't buy your way up the table with one six-hour Sunday. The score rewards the pattern most people actually need: showing up on more days.
A rank makes the cost of skipping visible
Your score places you on the weekly Builder Rank. You can see the builder directly above you, the exact gap in points, and how many active days would close it.
That is the mechanic. Skipping Wednesday no longer costs you a private streak — it costs you places on a table other people can see.
Weekly resets beat lifetime totals
Lifetime totals punish newcomers and let long-time users coast. Propal's leaderboard resets every week, so a bad week is recoverable and a good week is worth having on any week you choose to start.
Your rank history is kept, so you can see movement over time and your personal best position without the current week being decided months ago.
Accountability you control
Every public element is opt-in. You choose whether your activity, weekly standing, location and company appear on your public profile, and you can turn any of them off at any point.
Where to start
Log or sync one week of normal training before you judge your position. The first score is a baseline, not a verdict — the useful signal is which direction you move in week two.
