XenatheWarriorPrincess Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Just found out about this. It's an app that encourages users to go to the gym. They pledge $ to go to the gym - each time they check in at their gym (by phone gps) and stay for 30 minutes, they earn $. If they skip a workout, they lose the money they pledged for that workout (usually $5). Those who skip the gym end up paying reward $ to those who make it to the gym. Created by two Harvard graduates for an economics class they had. Very inspiring, especially for those who haven't started a gym routine yet or find excuses to not go to the gym! http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/2012/01/i-heart-gympact.html Link to comment

Maggie May Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ha, I've been using this pretty much since it came out. You don't "make" tons of money - I think I've gotten up to about $28 since the beginning of the year. But it's still fun to keep you accountable!! The thought of losing $5 for each workout missed is enough to get in there! But you can change your pact - say, if you REALLY need the accountability.. you can pledge $20 per workout missed. That'll get you in the gym! Link to comment
