For fitness creators who'd rather own their revenue than beg for brand deals.
Host paid accountability challenges for your audience. We handle signup, geofencing, payments, and payouts. You keep 70%.
Who this is (and isn't) for.
If this doesn't describe you, close this page. We'd rather save you time than sell you something that won't work yet.
Not for you if
- You have under 5,000 engaged followers, or most of your audience is outside the fitness space.
- You're not willing to post about the challenge at least 3 times in its first two weeks.
- You want a passive side-hustle that requires zero involvement.
- You're looking to sell a course or physical product through this — OutGrind is for paid accountability challenges only.
- Your audience is primarily outdoor/bodyweight athletes with no gym access — we're gym-verified today.
For you if
- You have 5k+ engaged fitness-adjacent followers on IG, TikTok, YouTube, X, or an email list.
- You've thought about launching a paid offer but don't want to build, host, and support the tech.
- You want a higher-intent audience than free PDF downloaders or course buyers.
- You care about completion rates and real results, not just recurring MRR from no-shows.
- You want a cleaner monetization model than brand deals, affiliates, or creator-fund CPM.
Specific numbers. No vague claims.
“I made more from one 12-week cutting challenge than I did from eight months of brand deals.”
“My TikTok Creator Fund pays $380/mo. My OutGrind challenges pay $4,800–$6,100/mo. Same audience.”
“Paid challenges became my lead magnet. My 1:1 coaching close rate doubled.”
Three benefits. Not thirteen.
Recurring challenge revenue
70% of the payout pool, weekly Stripe settlements, no upfront cost. Average host pulls $6,200/month at steady-state.
Zero infrastructure or support work
We handle enrollment, Stripe Connect, geofenced check-ins, disputes, refunds, and weekly payouts. You post one video and show up on the onboarding call.
Your brand, our rails
Your name on the challenge. Your invite code. Your email list. We're white-label infrastructure — never the brand in front of your audience.

Announcement content + enrollment

Run the math on your own audience.
Rough estimate based on our host-average conversion rates. Actual performance depends on how warm your audience is and how often you post about the challenge. We use 70% host / 30% platform as the default rev-share.

Three hosts. Three niches. Three different types of revenue.
How @cutwithkai ran a 12-week cutting challenge and netted $11,200 without selling a course.
Kai had been answering the same cutting questions in DMs for a year. Instead of building another PDF, he ran a 12-week paid challenge with 94 participants staking $30/week. He finished with $11,200 in his account and a 22% upsell rate into 1:1 coaching.

@liftwithraya turned 120k TikTok followers into $4,800/mo of recurring challenge revenue.
Raya's TikTok Creator Fund was paying $380/month on 2M views. Her recurring OutGrind challenges now pay $4,800–$6,100/month on a fraction of that audience. Here's exactly how she structured it.

We only onboard a limited number of hosts per month so every launch gets white-glove setup.
We don't make money until you make money.
If your first OutGrind challenge doesn't clear your minimum payout target — set on your onboarding call based on your audience size — we waive our 30% platform fee on that challenge. You keep 100% of the net pool. No asterisks.
- Minimum payout target set with you on the onboarding call, in writing.
- Applies to your first challenge only (we only fail once).
- No refund needed — the fee is waived at settlement.
- Stripe fees are not included in the waiver (we don't control those).
- Fraudulent / purchased audiences void the guarantee.
The questions you'd ask on a sales call.
Launch your first paid challenge in 7 days.
Apply in 4 minutes. If you're a fit we'll reply within 24 hours with your onboarding-call link.
If you have under 5k engaged fitness-adjacent followers or can't post about the challenge in the next 30 days, come back when that changes. We'd rather you apply later than apply wrong.
