How to Create or Join a Nest

What is a Nest?

A Nest is your team — a group of up to 5 Eggs who compete together. Your Nest Score is the average of all members’ Level Scores, so everyone matters equally. One person can’t carry the team, and one quiet week won’t sink it.

You can join an existing Nest or create your own. Most Eggs join with colleagues, friends, or people they want to get moving with.

Option A: Join an existing Nest

1. From your Home screen, tap the Nest card (it’ll show “Join or create a Nest” if you’re not in one yet)
2. Tap Find your Nest
3. Browse available Nests in your Flock, or search by name
4. Tap on a Nest to see its members and motto
5. Tap Request to Join
6. The Nest Leader will approve your request — you’ll get a notification when you’re in

If someone sent you a Nest invite link, tap it directly. It’ll open the app and take you straight to that Nest’s page where you can request to join.

Option B: Create a new Nest

1. From the Nest card on your Home screen, tap Create a Nest
2. Fill in:
   • Nest name — get creative. This is what other Eggs will see on the leaderboard
   • Motto — optional, but adds personality
   • Image — optional Nest avatar
   • Public / Private — public Nests are visible to everyone in the Flock. Private Nests can only be joined via invite link
3. Tap Create

You’re now the Nest Leader (also called the NestStarter). You can invite others by sharing the Nest link.

Inviting people to your Nest

As a Nest Leader, you can share an invite link via text, email, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. The link takes them directly to your Nest in the NestEgg app.

You can have up to 5 Eggs per Nest. Once all 5 spots are filled, the Nest is complete.

Tips for forming a good Nest

• Mix fitness levels. The handicap system means everyone competes fairly regardless of fitness. A beginner and an advanced athlete in the same Nest works great.
• Pick people who’ll show up. Consistency matters more than intensity. Someone who exercises 3 times a week at Level 2 contributes more than an elite athlete who disappears for a week.
• Minimum 4 Eggs to compete. Nests with fewer than 4 members won’t be ranked on the leaderboard.

Changing Nests

Already in a Nest but want to switch? Talk to your current Nest Leader. Nest changes during an active Challenge may require NestEgg support.

Nest Leader responsibilities

Being a Nest Leader is low-effort. Your main job is:

• Approving join requests
• Occasionally checking in on quiet Eggs — a simple “you working out this week?” goes further than you’d think
• Keeping the banter alive in the feed

Social Gravity in action: people are more likely to move for others than for themselves. Your Nest is the reason most Eggs show up on the days they don’t feel like it.
