"hold my significant other more accountable for exercising and staying in shape..."

I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone who thinks they have a right to "hold me accountable" for staying in shape. Nor would I want my significant other to keep track of my exercise history or be notified if I fall behind. I'm a responsible adult, not a child. The whole thing sounds rather creepy. What does your significant other think of this idea?

Thanks for you feedback! My spouse and I both agreed that we would pay for this kind of service before I put up the page, but I can definitely see your perspective. We both are responsible adults, and we both sometimes lose momentum when it comes to exercise and staying healthy and fit, so it would be nice if we could remind and encourage each other sooner rather than later once that trend starts as opposed to realizing only after a month. That is my train of though. I can see how the phrasing may not have communicated that accurately, or at least skipped the context.

Thanks!
