Gympact iPhone app lets you pay fines if you do not go to the gym



Earlier today we gave a list of apps that you in the new year to work out. The offer is already pretty big, but today there was a new contender in: Gympact. The approach is surprising: you have to pay a fine to your friends, if you do not go to the gym. Gympact penalty strokes in the 3% to as agency costs. To avoid that you can fool the system, you must check in at a gym and at least 30 minutes remain on site. Also check Gympact every few minutes if you're still in the gym. It uses a database of gyms. The only thing still is to cheat, is not to work out but with a sports drink at the bar to sit.









If you subscribe enter your personal details, but you have also your credit card data. Gympact talk this well, claiming that 90% of people do good to the gym, "so we do not charge your credit card down to collect." When registering you also give directly to how often you want to go to the gym and how much the fine may be. You can choose from 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 or even $ 50 fine for the sport persistent objectors. The intention is for this app with a group of friends to use. Do you go to the gym, then you fines of dropouts in your group divide.


The app was created by two Harvard students who graduated in 2010. In theory, saw the business model might be nice, but we wonder whether people really so crazy to their credit card details below. According to the inventors, people are more motivated by the thought that they will lose money, than the prospect of a reward is provided. It would be better to work than other virtual rewards and badges.
