before you book
- Check verification status. A verified badge means the host completed identity checks — look for it before booking.
- Read the reviews. Ratings and written reviews from past sessions are the fastest signal of what a session with someone is actually like.
- Check the restriction, if set. Hosts can restrict a listing to women-only or men-only sessions — respect it, it's there for someone else's comfort, not a suggestion.
before you meet
- Keep it in the app. Don't move to personal phone numbers or social media before your first session — a booking app's chat exists specifically so a paper trail exists if anything goes wrong.
- Confirm the gym, not just the person. Double check the session is at the gym listed on the booking, not a different location suggested last-minute.
- Tell someone. Share your booking time and gym location with a friend or family member.
during the session
- Payment stays in the app. Any request to pay cash or "off-platform" outside the booking flow is a red flag — it usually means someone's trying to avoid the safety and refund protections the platform provides.
- You can leave. If something feels off, you're allowed to end the session early. Trust that instinct over politeness.
after the session
- Leave a review either way. Honest reviews — good or bad — are what make the vetting checklist above actually work for the next person.
- Report, don't just avoid. If something crossed a line, report it rather than just quietly not rebooking — it protects the next client too.
