ProofShot Boost — Earn an Extra 10%
Post a photo within 60 minutes of your workout and earn a +10% bonus on your Exercise Points. Here's exactly how it works.
ProofShot Boost
Post a photo. Earn 10% more. It takes about 30 seconds.
What Is a ProofShot?
A ProofShot is a photo you post to the Nest feed after a workout — a quick visual proof that you moved. It could be:
- A sweaty selfie
- Your running shoes post-run
- The gym equipment you just used
- A yoga mat, bike, pool, park — anywhere your workout happened
- A video works too
It does not need to include your face. It does not need to be glamorous. It just needs to be real.
Screenshots of your workout stats don’t count — NestEgg already has that data.
The Bonus
Post a ProofShot within 60 minutes of uploading a workout and your Exercise Points for that workout are multiplied by 1.10 — a straight 10% boost.
| Without ProofShot | With ProofShot |
|---|---|
| 100 EP | 110 EP |
| 250 EP | 275 EP |
| 400 EP | 440 EP |
One ProofShot per workout. The 60-minute window starts when the workout is uploaded to NestEgg, not when you finished exercising.
How to Post a ProofShot
From the Workouts tab:
- Go to Workouts → My Workouts
- Find the workout you just logged — it appears as a white tile
- Tap the Boost +10% button on the tile
- Select or capture a photo
- Add an optional caption
- Tap Post
Once posted, the tile turns from white to green — confirming the boost is applied.
From the Feed:
You can also post directly from the Feed using the + button, then link it to a specific workout during the posting flow.
Strength Workouts — Extra Important
For strength training workouts (weightlifting, Pilates, climbing, core training, etc.), the ProofShot does double duty:
- +10% boost — same as all workout types
- Unlocks the Strength Exercise Adjustment (SEA) — the full strength bonus that accounts for rest periods between sets
Without a ProofShot on a strength workout, you still get the standard 25% strength bonus — but you miss the additional SEA calculation. The ProofShot is the human verification that unlocks it.
See Strength Training and the ProofShot Requirement for the full breakdown.

Common Questions
I uploaded my workout but forgot to post a ProofShot. Can I still get the bonus? No — the 60-minute window is firm. Plan to post your ProofShot immediately after uploading your workout, while you’re still in the app.
Why isn’t the Boost +10% button showing on my workout? The button only appears while the 60-minute window is open. If it’s gone, the window has closed. It also won’t appear on workouts uploaded more than 60 minutes ago.
Does the ProofShot get shared to the whole Flock? It posts to the Nest feed by default, visible to your Nestmates and anyone in the Flock who follows you. Adjust visibility in your profile settings if needed.
My ProofShot posted but the tile didn’t turn green. Pull down to refresh on the Workouts tab. The green confirmation can take a moment to update. If it still shows white after a minute, contact support.
