Our Story
The best workout buddy is just a text away.
NextWeigh is a text-message accountability service founded by Jared Casper. We built NextWeigh because we missed the simplest, most effective accountability tool: a friend texting you to get up and go.
It started with a text message.
Growing up, staying healthy was easy. Not because we had fancy apps or complicated meal plans, but because of one simple thing: friends.
I would get a text message from a friend saying, "Gym in 20?" or "Let's go for a run," and that was it. We'd go. We got healthy, stayed fit, and pushed each other. The accountability was built into our daily conversations.
But as we got older, life happened. School got harder, careers took off, families grew, and schedules became chaotic. The texts stopped coming in. And without that simple, friendly nudge, I stopped going. The motivation faded when the accountability disappeared.
Your new texting buddy.
I realized that people don't need another app to download, another calorie to log, or another complicated dashboard to look at. They just need that text message again.
That's why we created NextWeigh. We wanted to be the texting buddy that anyone can use. No apps required. Just real text messages to help you get healthy, stay fit, and keep you accountable.
It's like having a friend and a trainer in your pocket, checking in on you, keeping you motivated, and cheering you on every single day.

Jared Casper, Founder of NextWeigh
Jared built NextWeigh after realizing that the simplest, most effective accountability tool he ever had wasn't an app — it was a friend texting "let's go." He wanted to bring that same low-friction support to anyone trying to build healthier habits, without the complexity of tracking dashboards or calorie logs.
