A new application for the iPhone will encourage use of the gym
If the optimal forms do not have enough motivation to go to the gym, a new application for the iPhone will force users to do so because of financial incentives, reports Reuters.For example, an application called GymPact will charge users a certain amount of each workout, which he missed. The fee can range from $ 5 to $ 50."We decided that the best discipline to motivate people, not money, which is a very radical departure from other applications and motivational programs," said Zhang Yifan, co-founder and CEO GymPact.Once a person provides credit card information, he takes the responsibility to visit the gym several times a week, and the user will be fined if you do not do it a certain amount of time.At the end of the week, the company collects money from people who have not fulfilled their purpose. The money distributed to users who have kept their commitments. People who bought more than planned, will receive most of the money.In any case, the company pays between 50 cents and $ 1 for every workout and impose in this case about 30% of each payment. Last week, every gym cost 73 cents.At the same time to confirm the time spent in the gym, users must register with the room and spend a minimum of 30 minutes to get the reward.
