A closer way to stay connected
The Dopamine Steps Community lives on Telegram. It is a space to connect with other members, share your progress, discuss workouts and habits, ask questions, and stay updated on upcoming challenges, events, and livestreams.

What you will need
Install the free Telegram app on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Telegram uses your phone number to create and confirm your account.
The Dopamine Steps bot will explain each step and check that everything worked.
The free version is all you need. Telegram Premium is not required. You can adjust your privacy settings and hide your phone number from other members.
How to join
The bot is the official entrance to the Community. You do not need to find the groups yourself or use a separate invitation link.
Install or open Telegram
If you already use Telegram, move to Step 2. Otherwise, install the official app and create an account. Telegram may send you a verification code. Never share that code with another person.
If you prefer, choose Nobody under “Who can see my phone number?” Other members may still see the name, username, and profile photo you choose.
Open the Dopamine Steps bot
The button below will open Telegram and take you to the official Dopamine Steps bot. When Telegram opens, tap Start. The bot will welcome you and guide you through the rest of the onboarding.
Join the Updates channel
The bot will ask you to join Dopamine Steps Updates. This is where you will receive important announcements, new workouts, challenges, livestream updates, community news, and upcoming events. After joining, return to the bot and tap I've joined — check my subscription.
Join the Community
Once your Updates subscription has been verified, the bot will give you access to the Dopamine Steps Community. Tap Join the Community. Then return to the bot and tap I've joined — finish setup.
Introduce yourself
You can share your name, where you are joining from, and one fact that will help us get to know you. You can also skip the introduction and simply explore the Community first.
What you can do inside
Read at your own pace, join the conversation when you feel comfortable, and use only the features that are useful to you.
Share how you are feeling, what you tried, or a habit you are working on.
Discuss workouts and healthy habits, reply to members, and support one another.
Share media, use voice messages, join challenges, and stay connected with Artem.
Community guidelines
Please help us keep the Community welcoming for everyone.
Telegram manages your Telegram account and chat data under its own policies. Regular Telegram group chats are cloud chats and are not the same as end-to-end encrypted Secret Chats. You can mute notifications, adjust your privacy settings, or leave at any time.
Need help?
If you have a question or experience a problem during onboarding, return to the bot and type /help. Your message will be passed directly to Artem.
