About Us

Social Workout helps people help each other live bigger, better and healthier lives.

Social Workout began life as an irreverent fitness blog, created by Oliver Ryan, co-founder of Apartment Therapy. From the start, the site produced social wellness challenges, working with partners like Crunch, Whole Foods Markets, and Equinox. In late 2010, Social Workout migrated from blog to all-challenge-all-the-time social network.

Social Workout challenges create focused community around clear, quantifiable goals. We can track any activity, anywhere — and convert just a bit of group support into satisfying achievements of any scale. If you want to challenge yourself, a friend, or the world, we've got your back.
