gym pact app

Someone here recommended this app and I love the idea.  I can find much info on it so I was hoping someone could help me with a few questions.  Are you paid per workout?  So if I say I'm going to workout 3 days a week, do I earn more if I workout 4 or 5 days?  Do I earn more when I workout if I pay $20 a workout than if I pay $5?  Any is there a way to determine exactly what you do earn per workout?

Hi, I think it was me that mentioned it.

Yes, you're paid per workout, but not until the end of the week. And you're paid more per workout depending on how many days you pledge to workout and how much you bet. 

I don't think you can figure out exactly how much you earn per workout--it varies depending on all the other people out there, whether they met their goal that week or not. The "winners" split the money that the "losers" lose. But it's split up in proportion to individuals' bets.

I bet $20 per workout for four workouts per week. I win about $2 a week. So it's not actually the winnings that keep me motivated, but that I don't want to lose $20 just because I'm too lazy to work out! I've bee using it for about 15 weeks now and haven't missed a workout yet--I've squeezed a few in at 9 o'clock on a Sunday night--but haven't missed one.

You can also change your bet at any time before the week starts (on Monday). I'm traveling at the end of this week, so I knew it would be tough to get as many workouts in as usual, so I only bet 3 workouts this week.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions--an if you use it and like it!

Actually, I just looked at my ap. I really only win about $1 per week. I'm thinking of upping my bet to $50 to see how much more I earn that way. And talk about motivation--my husband would be so pissed if I lost $50 because I was too lazy to work out!!
