SweatPals - Fitness Community 12+

As the proud SweatPals Senior Ambassador and leader of the Unwind and Connect pickleball group, I’m swinging by with a five-star review hotter than a Texas summer! Before you scroll past, let me serve you up some straight facts.

Sure, some say the SweatPals app has more bugs than a night out camping, and maybe it’s got a learning curve steeper than my backhand slice. But here’s the real scoop: This app isn’t about keeping you screen-stuck; it’s your launchpad to lace-up, step out, and sweat it out with pals who soon become your rally crew.

I’m knee-deep in software QA by day, but by the time the sun dips, my heart’s all in with my SweatPals community. Why? Because this app does more than just buzz in your pocket; it’s a rallying cry to connect, play, and belong.

We’re not just about the ‘gram-worthy game set-ups; we’re the squad that turns every meet-up into an epic match with laughs, high-fives, and the occasional Squid Game-level pickleball showdown (no spoilers, I promise).

I’ve seen the power of SweatPals first-hand. It’s the MVP of fitness apps, driving accountability and camaraderie like no other. It turns “I might” into “I’m there!”—and for that, it’s snagging a grand slam from yours truly.

So come for the fitness, stay for the pickleball puns, and if you’re ever in Austin, hit up Unwind & Connect. We play for the love of the game, the joy of connection, and the sweet victory of finding your tribe.

I recently started using SweatPal to find a local runners group, and it was such an easy and seamless experience! Within minutes, I found the QOL Health and Performance Running Group/Club, which meets close to home and runs on days that fit perfectly with my schedule.

Today, I booked my first run and met some of the amazing crew. The experience was absolutely fantastic—everyone was welcoming, professional, and super encouraging. It felt so comforting to be part of a group that shares the same goals and passion for fitness. If you’re looking for a community to support your health journey, I highly recommend checking out SweatPal and connecting with groups like QOL Health and Performance!

I think this app has a lot of potential and I love the concept. I’ve found really fun events to join, and the app performance has definitely gotten better. Some areas of improvement that would make it a lot better:

1) the Pals feature has never worked. Every time I try it it tells me there are no pals and to come back at a later time no matter the time of day I check it

2) uploading photos to your profile is really glitchy. There’s no option to remove photos, you can only select existing ones and try to replace them, and when you go back to the edit profile page old photos still show up randomly.

3) there’s no filter for location on the events page. This one feels like a no brainer since I only want to find events where I live.

4) there’s no way to tell the app you made it to an event unless you upload a photo.
