How a day counts

One rule for everyone: log a real workout, live, on the day.

A real workout

A day counts when you log at least one workout that lasts 15 minutes or more, or has 6 or more completed working sets. Warm-up sets don't count.

Logged live

Logged live in Apex Stacked: started and finished on the same calendar day in your local time. A workout that runs past midnight counts for neither day.

No imports

Imported workouts (from Apple Health, Health Connect or other apps) don't count.

One per day

One day per calendar day, however many workouts you log.

Same for everyone

Our server decides which days count, the same way for everyone.

When to join

Days count from the day you join. Join by January 1 to be able to reach all 31 days.

Three tiers

Track your progress through January. Only the 31-day tier earns the prize.

12 days

A strong start. You showed up for more than a third of the month.

20 days

Most of the month. Training has become a habit.

31 days

Every day of January. This is the tier that earns the prize.

The prize. Everyone who reaches 31 qualifying days gets 3 months of Apex Pro free, after a manual review. No purchase necessary. 18+, one account per person. Apex Pro + AI is not included. See the official rules.

Compete your way

Switch between three leaderboards, ranked by active days. Ties go to whoever has more total completed working sets. Leaderboard position does not affect the prize.

Global

Everyone in the challenge. See your rank and the people around you.

Friends

Just you and the friends you've added in Apex Stacked.

Me

Your own days, your tier progress and what's left in the month.

Find me a rival. Optional: opt in to a 7-day match against someone with similar recent activity.

Fair play

Plausibility checks

The server checks for implausible logs, for example impossible sets per minute, future dates or edits made after a day ends.

Reports

Anyone can report a leaderboard row they think doesn't add up.

Optional verified mark

An optional "verified with Apple Watch / Apple Health" mark can appear next to your name. It is never required.

Every prize reviewed

Every prize is reviewed before it is granted.

Questions

Who can join?

Anyone 18 or older with the Apex Stacked app, on any plan, with one account per person. Days count from the day you join. Join by January 1 to be able to reach all 31 days.

What counts as an active day?

A calendar day on which you log at least one workout live in Apex Stacked that lasts 15 minutes or more, or has 6 or more completed working sets. Warm-up sets and imported workouts don't count, and the workout has to start and finish on the same day in your local time. Each calendar day counts once.

Do I need a subscription?

No. The challenge is free on every plan, on iPhone and Android. Buying a subscription does not improve your chances or your results.

What do I win?

Does my rank matter for the prize?

No. Your leaderboard position and the tiebreak never affect the prize. Everyone who reaches 31 qualifying days and passes review gets it.
