Sweat By Proxy · Exerciser Guide

You do the workout. They get the story.

Every order is a real workout from the standardized catalog, performed on camera in the buyer’s (or recipient’s) name. Your pay is 25% of the workout price — released after your proof passes validation.

The protocol

  1. Open on camera with the name and the code. Say the recipient’s name and the order’s unique proof code out loud, unedited, before the first exercise. No code, no payout.
  2. Do the dose as written. Every exercise at its catalog dose — you bought them a mile, however long it takes. Don’t substitute, don’t editorialize the reps.
  3. Film the full session. The full session is the proof; the buyer receives a 30–60 second highlight cut from it plus your written report.
  4. Reference their reason. If the buyer shared why they outsourced today, work it into your intro or sign-off — lovingly. Teasing is welcome; meanness is not. The vibe is positive, chummy, teasing-but-kind.
  5. Close it out. A quick written report (what you did, how it felt) completes the order.

Sample lines (make them your own)

  • “{Name}, this is your workout — I’m just the one doing it. Code word: {CODE} — let’s go.”
  • “You said the couch had custody today. Fair. I’ve got the legs from here.”
  • “Just finished your workout. Every rep, in your name. You’re welcome — and I mean that.”

Validation reviews the transcript for the recipient’s name, the proof code, the exercises performed, a positive/chummy/teasing-but-kind tone, and a nod to the buyer’s reason when they gave one. If a check fails, you’ll be asked to re-record the intro — the workout itself usually stands.

The fine print

Exercisers are independent contractors, 18+, and complete a health self-screen (PAR-Q) and liability waiver before their first paid order. Sessions follow the catalog doses exactly; stop any exercise that feels unsafe and report it. Payouts run through Stripe Connect after validation passes — never by hand.
