PACT

- Free www.gym-pact.com

If the weekly fee you pay to go to the gym doesn’t guilt you enough into exercising, then how about an app that actually rewards you for moving? Pact o ers you a monetary incentive for actually going to the gym, while penalising you if you don’t. Begin by setting a weekly health goal, such as exercising a certain number of days or eating more healthily. The app will then monitor your progress – using your phone’s GPS for gym check-ins; motion tracking for running; or linking to services like MyFitnessP­al to log food. At the end of the week you can see whether you’ve achieved your goal, along with how much you’ve earned (or lost) – with the money coming directly from those failing to reach their targets.
