I hit 40 and knew my lifestyle had to change. This app is helping me power up, take more steps, and supercharge my water intake
Homescreen Heroes: GO Club helps you make simple health improvements that are actually achievable
A recent article highlights the power of small habits in improving health and fitness. James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, explains that seemingly insignificant habits can accumulate over time to create significant changes. One app that has aided the author in building and maintaining new habits is GO Club. Despite its straightforward design, GO Club excels in its simplicity and functionality.
The app tracks steps and water intake, offering reminders and rewards to encourage adherence to these essential habits. Since its 18-month launch, GO Club has garnered over 150,000 downloads and earned a finalist spot in the 2025 App Store Awards.
One of the app's standout features is its ability to motivate users to increase their daily steps. The author initially set a goal of 10,000 steps per day but found that they were only taking between five and six thousand. GO Club's clear display of daily step count, along with distance, calories burned, and floors climbed, served as a strong motivator, prompting the author to take action. The app's widget, visible upon unlocking the phone, provided a constant reminder of progress.
The importance of water intake is also emphasized in the GO Club app. Users manually input their daily water consumption, with a default goal of 2.5 liters. A visually appealing graphic updates to show how much water remains for the day, making the need to drink water more apparent. For those seeking additional features, GO Club offers a $19.99 annual subscription on iOS, which includes smartwatch integration, home screen widgets, and health trends summaries.
