Where Shredify is different
MacroFactor's training app is a separate app and subscription, and it has no social layer: no squads, challenges or gym leaderboards. Shredify puts your training plan, food log, weigh-ins and accountability (streaks, squads, challenges, the Hustle Index gym leaderboard) in one app, organized around four seasonal arcs.
