BeastieThe couples
push-up challenge
Every couple has the argument that never quite ends: who could actually do more. Settle it properly — same living room or different time zones — with a phone camera that counts only the clean reps, so nobody gets to count generously for themselves.
your phone
Loser cooks. The camera decides who.
Push-ups, squats or jumping jacks · your partner needs no account to accept
Pick a move. Name the stakes.
Let the phones referee.
Pick the move you’re closest on
Push-ups, squats or jumping jacks. If one of you is miles ahead on push-ups, squats usually make a much closer fight — and a close fight is the fun kind.
Name the stakes yourselves
Loser cooks. Winner picks the film. Beastie doesn’t hold the bet — it just makes the result impossible to argue with afterwards.
Go first, or go together
Do your set and send the link; your partner does theirs in front of their own phone before the deadline. Or both hit start at once in a 60-second live duel, where the most clean reps wins. Then rematch with one tap, roles reversed.
Different cities works the same
A duel was built for two people on two phones, so distance changes nothing. You do your set before work; they do theirs after dinner in another time zone. Each phone counts its own person by the same rules, and the verdict shows both results side by side: clean reps, form score, best streak. It’s the rare thing you can actually compete at over a video call’s worth of distance.
Keeping it fairSame rules for both of you
The camera counts a push-up only when the chest reaches depth and the hips stay in line — for both of you, every rep. It counts full push-ups only, so if one of you usually does them on your knees, that’s a different exercise (here’s how the two compare) and squats are the fairer duel.
Before you call your partner out
How do couples do a push-up challenge?
Pick the exercise, agree the stakes between you, and have one person do their set and send the challenge link. The other does theirs in front of their own phone before the deadline, or you both go at once in a 60-second live duel. The camera counts only the clean reps for both of you, so the result stands.
Can we do a couples workout challenge long distance?
Yes, and it works exactly the same. A duel is designed for two people on two phones: each of you does your set wherever you are, any time before the deadline, and the verdict shows both results side by side.
What if one of us is much stronger?
Pick the exercise where you are closest. Beastie counts push-ups, squats and jumping jacks, and a big gap on push-ups is often a close fight on squats. Both of you are counted by the same rules either way.
Is it free?
Accepting your first full duel is free, and the solo counter is free every day. Unlimited duels come with Beastie Pro, an optional subscription.
