Simple & Effective
How SPARK Works
Three steps to finding your perfect fitness match.
Create Your Profile
Set up a fitness profile with your preferred workouts, schedule, and goals so future matches can start from real shared interests.
Swipe & Match
Browse fitness-first profiles when the app is available, then match around activity preferences, goals, and compatible schedules.
Work Out Together
Plan your first workout date — from gym sessions to hikes. Track your shared progress and build a real connection.
Feature-Packed
Everything You Need
From smart matching to community events — SPARK has it all.
Compatibility Score
Every card shows a match percentage based on shared activities, distance, fitness level, and schedule alignment.
Activity Badges
12 fitness badges — Weightlifting, Yoga, Running, HIIT, Boxing, and more. See shared interests at a glance.
Gym-Based Discovery
Find people who work out at your gym or favorite fitness spots nearby.
Smart Filters
Filter by workout type, time preference, fitness level, and goals. Pull to refresh for new matches.
Activity Feed
Planned Apple Health integrations are being reviewed carefully so fitness context can be shown only with user permission and clear privacy controls.
Ice Breaker Prompts
Three fun prompts per profile — "My go-to workout is...", "My fitness goal for 2026...", and more. Spark real conversations.
Verified Badges
Optional verification is planned to help users add trust signals without making safety features paid-only.
Photo Carousel
Swipeable profile photos with smooth pan-driven transitions and animated indicator dots.
Profile Controls
Profile visibility and preference controls are being tuned for a safe staged launch.
Trust & Safety Signals
Trust signals are being evaluated as part of the safety roadmap, not as a replacement for reporting or moderation.
ID Verification
Optional verification with a blue checkmark badge for an extra layer of trust.
Photo Verification
Photo verification is planned as an optional safety signal during rollout.
Safety Alerts
Safety copy, reporting, blocking, and support flows are core launch requirements.
Health Permission Controls
Any Apple Health feature will be permission-based and clearly disclosed before users connect fitness data.
Planned Feature
Fitness Context
Fitness verification is being designed around explicit permission, privacy, and clear in-app disclosure.
Bronze
Planned badge level for users who opt into fitness verification.
Silver
Planned badge level for consistent activity signals.
Gold
Planned badge level only after verification flows are approved.
Your Safety First
Trust & Safety
SPARK is being prepared with safety, privacy, blocking, reporting, and support controls before wider access.
Optional Verification
Verification features are planned as optional trust signals, not a guarantee or a paid safety gate.
Moderation Tools
Reporting, blocking, review workflows, and safety support are launch requirements.
Privacy-Minded Messaging
Messaging will ship only after privacy and safety behavior is verified.
Safety Guidance
Safety resources and reporting paths will remain available without a paid upgrade.
