15-minute heats

Back to home

A heat is one short, shared effort. Fifteen minutes is short enough that you never need to negotiate with yourself, and long enough to leave you better than you were. Every heat has the same shape, so you and your buddy always know what happens next.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 1

    T−10 · Warm-up window

    The waiting screen opens, your buddy's status turns live and the GoBuddy soundtrack starts building. Nothing to configure.

  2. 2

    Minutes 0–3 · Ease in

    Mobility and light movement. The timer is shared, so you are literally in the same minute as your buddy.

  3. 3

    Minutes 3–13 · The work

    The main block: intervals, a run, a bodyweight circuit or whatever the pair chose. The music tracks the intensity on Premium and VIP.

  4. 4

    Minutes 13–15 · Wind-down

    Breathing and easy movement, then the completion panel shows duration, punctuality, recovery advice and your streak.

Example

One real heat

0:00–3:00 — Joint circles, leg swings, easy jog on the spot

3:00–13:00 — 5 rounds: 40s squats · 20s rest · 40s push-ups · 20s rest

13:00–15:00 — Walk it out, long exhales, quick check-in with your buddy

Result: 15 min · efficient & responsible · streak 5 · both on time

Good to know

  • No equipment needed for the default heat — bodyweight only.
  • Both buddies see the same countdown, so there is no “are you ready?” friction.
  • Miss the start? Your buddy keeps punctuality credit while waiting.
  • Completion data feeds your muscle balance and show-up score automatically.
