accountability partner
Mutual responsibility buddy
An accountability partner is someone who helps you stay committed to a goal by checking in on your progress.
The arrangement is usually mutual—each person monitors the other's follow-through on diet, exercise, sobriety, work habits, or other commitments: My accountability partner texts me every morning to make sure I went to the gym.
