Make it yours in a minute
Give it a name, a description, a picture and an accent color, and that is how every member sees it. Change any of it later and nothing else has to move.
Your Organization. Your Private Community.
One Premium Account.
Create a private Loopa community for your company, business, club, team, association, nonprofit or church. Give your people a dedicated place to connect, take part in challenges, encourage each other and work toward shared health and fitness goals.
Creating and running an Organization is included with an active Loopa Premium membership. The people you invite do not need Premium. They join on a free Loopa Basic account. No separate organization fee, and no charge per employee, member or participant.
Whether you are bringing together ten people or a thousand, Loopa gives your organization a dedicated place of its own, and nobody in it can see anything anyone logs.
What a group is
A room, a leaderboard, and nothing else.
An organization in Loopa does two things: it gives your people somewhere to talk, and it runs contests between them. That is the whole of it, and it is fixed.
Invite with a code or a link
Send the link, print the code, drop it in the welcome email. Owners and admins can issue a fresh one whenever they want the old one to stop working.
Private, with no way in from outside
No directory, no search, no browsing. A group you were not invited to is not something you can find, and from outside it the room does not appear to exist at all.
A forum only members can open
Threads, replies and reactions in a space of your group’s own. Owners and admins moderate it, with a report path on every post and Loopa’s own moderators sitting above them.
Challenges with a real leaderboard
Seven measures to compete on, a start date, an end date, and a board that ranks whoever entered. Ties share a place and the next one skips, so two people on 120 are both first and the next is third.
Join as many as you like
Your gym, your running club and your employer’s team can all sit on your list at once, each with its own room, its own contests and its own members.
An owner, admins, and members
One owner. Admins to help run it. Invite people, moderate the room, start and end challenges, manage the member list. Everybody else is a member, which is the role that does the competing.
Notified about you, not about everything
A note when a challenge opens, when one closes with your finishing place, when you are made an admin, when ownership passes to you, and if you come off the member list. There is no ping for every post, because a busy gym would bury your phone in them.
iPhone, Android and the web
The same group, the same room and the same board on all three. Start one wherever you happen to be and pick it up on whichever screen is nearest.
Great for
Any group that wants to build healthier habits together.
The page says members because it had to pick a word. Swap in employees, players, congregation, alumni or crew, whichever one you actually use.
Companies & employee groups
A wellness program that is a place people go rather than an email they archive. Small businesses too. There is no headcount minimum and no per-seat cost.
Clubs, teams & fitness groups
Running clubs, cycling clubs, lifting crews, sports teams and studios. One room for the group and a leaderboard that settles the argument.
Associations & nonprofits
Membership bodies, federations and nonprofits who want to offer their members something they will actually use.
Churches & community organizations
A private space for a congregation or a neighbourhood group, with challenges that are about turning up rather than about who is fittest.
Alumni & social groups
People who already know each other and want a reason to check in. Friendly competition is the reason.
Privacy
Your group sees what you post. Never what you log.
People assume it runs the other way round, so here it is plainly: running the gym does not make somebody your coach, and there is no setting anywhere that changes that.
What no role in your group can open
- Your food log, meal by meal
- Your weight and your body measurements
- Your workouts and every set inside them
- Your activity, your steps and your sessions
- Your progress photos
- Every other health record you keep in Loopa
Not the owner, not an admin, not whoever pays for the membership. There is no permission that grants it and no switch that turns it on.
A challenge shows one number: your total for the single measure it scores, over the dates it runs, to the people who entered it beside you. You decide contest by contest whether to be one of them, and a challenge you stayed out of carries nothing of yours at all.
Entering is the whole of the consent
Before you enter, the challenge names the measure it will read and the two dates it runs between. Stay out and you are not on the board, not in the count and not anywhere in it.
Names, or no names
Whoever sets a challenge up chooses whether the board shows names. On an anonymous board every row but your own loses its name and picture. Yours stays, so you can still find your place.
Leaving closes the door behind you
Leave and the room shuts for you that moment. You come out of any challenge still running, and every result you already finished stays on the board it is on. Everything you have logged is still yours and still private, because none of it was ever the group’s to hold.
Coaching is a separate, deliberate act
If you want somebody reading your training, that is a Loopa coach: one named person you choose, and you pick which categories they get. Nothing about a group touches it.
How coaching works on Loopa
Starting one
Three steps and a code to hand out.
No application, no waiting list, nobody to approve you. Loopa Premium is what it takes, and the group is live the second you name it.
1
Create it
Name, description, picture, color. You are the owner from that second, and you can hand the group to another member later without it missing a beat.
2
Hand out the code
Or the link. Put it on the noticeboard, in the group chat, on the back of the membership card. Anyone with a Loopa account can use it, free account or not.
3
Start a challenge
Pick the measure, pick the dates, choose whether the board shows names, and publish it. Your members are told it has opened and enter with a tap.
Group fitness challenges
Seven measures to compete on.
Every one is worked out from what your members already log. Nobody types a score into a box, so nobody puts a number on the board they did not earn.
Workouts logged
How many training sessions each member finished inside the window. The natural one for a gym.
Active minutes
Time actually spent moving, taken from each member’s own activity day.
Steps
The office step contest, run properly: one total per person and nothing else about them.
Distance
Ground covered, in meters, added up across the window. Made for a running club.
Water logged
A hydration month, in fluid ounces, with a board everybody can see.
Days with a completed fast
Counted in days finished rather than hours attempted.
A daily check-in
One tap a day, one point a day, and a second tap is not a second point. The measure for turning up rather than performing.
A challenge window runs up to 92 days. An admin can change or cancel one right up until it starts, and can close one early after that. How challenges work
Simple pricing
One Premium account. No per-member fees.
There is no separate organization fee and no charge per member. The owner keeps an active Loopa Premium membership; everyone they invite takes part on a free Loopa Basic account, and gets the room, the challenges and the leaderboards exactly as everybody else does.
Joining, posting and competing
Type the code and you are in. Post in the room, enter any challenge, sit on the board. Being made an admin is free as well, and an admin on the free tier runs the group exactly as anybody else does.
Starting one of your own
Creating a group and owning it is part of Loopa Premium, at $12.99 a month or $69.99 a year, and Loopa Premium Family covers up to six people for $119.99 a year. One membership covers the whole organization, however many people are in it. Organizations add nothing separate to buy.
Joining a group never changes what your Loopa account can do, a free account is exactly as free afterwards as it was before. Free vs Premium, feature by feature
Build a healthier community
Give your organization its own private space to connect, take part in challenges and work toward better health together. One Premium membership starts it; everybody else joins free.

More on how Loopa works
Common questions
What is a Loopa organization?
A private group inside Loopa for a gym, a club, a workplace team or any set of people who want to train alongside each other. It has two parts: a forum only its members can open, and challenges those members compete in.
Can my gym, club or employer see my weight, my food log or my workouts?
No. No role in an organization can open your food log, your weight, your workouts, your activity, your measurements, your photos or any other health record, and there is no setting that turns any of it on. That applies to the owner as much as to anybody else.
What does a group challenge actually share?
One number: your total for the single measure that challenge scores, over the dates it runs, with the people who entered it beside you. You decide contest by contest whether to enter, and a challenge you stayed out of carries nothing of yours.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. Joining, posting in the room, entering challenges and appearing on leaderboards are free, and so is being promoted to admin. Starting a group of your own is part of Loopa Premium.
How do people find my group?
They do not. There is no directory, no search and no browsing. The only way in is the invite code or the invite link you hand out. The code is eight characters and leaves out the ones people mix up (no O beside 0, no I or L beside 1) so a code read off a wall lands where it should. Replace it whenever you want the old one to stop working: the new code takes over straight away, and you can give a code a life of a day, a week or a month instead.
Can I be in more than one group?
Yes, as many as you like, and you can own more than one too. A gym, a running club and a team at work all sit on your list at once, each with its own room, its own challenges and its own members.
Who can run the group?
The owner, plus any admins the owner appoints. Admins invite people, hand out the code, moderate the room, manage the member list and run the challenges. Changing somebody’s role, handing over ownership and closing the group stay with the owner.
What happens if the owner’s Premium lapses?
The group stays up and every member carries on exactly as before. Owner-level changes wait until Premium is back, or until ownership moves to somebody else.
Can I leave?
Any member or admin can leave at any time, and the room closes for them that moment. You come out of any challenge still running, and results you already finished stay on the board. An owner hands the group to another member or closes it down first, so a group is never left with nobody running it.
Is it on Android and the web as well as iPhone?
All three. Creating a group, joining one, the room, the challenges and the leaderboards are on iPhone, on Android and in a browser, and it is the same group whichever one you open.
Start free
Joining a group, posting in it and competing in its challenges are free. Starting one of your own is part of Premium.
