Quien más o quien menos, alguna vez se ha apuntado e ido al gimnasio. Pero también tarde o temprano ha dejado de ir y lo ha seguido pagando hasta que por fin se da de baja. GymPact es una aplicación, con una plataforma detrás, que pretende pagar a aquellos que cumplan su pacto de ir al gimnasio.

If you need motivation to get to the gym when you find your desire to stick to your resolutions waning, GymPact is offering a financial incentive to actually get you to go. The free app works when you commit to go to the gym and then set a monetary amount for each day. You must go at least one day a week, and you have to set at least a $5 penalty for missing a day of exercise.

Pacts are made on a weekly basis, so you're not locked into them like you are into a gym contract. And don't try sitting on your couch pretending you're at the gym Read More

(See John Biggs’ predictions for hot gadgets in 2012 — you’ll notice two fitness gadgets at the top of the list.) Americans spend $50 billion each year on products and services designed to help us lose weight and get in shape.

GymPact is a check-in app that offers cash incentives to get you off the Read More
