		roryokane on Jan 15, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: This Is Why You Don't Go to the Gym I found a link to the Harvard graduates’ Gym Pact program: http://www.gym-pact.com/. It’s an iPhone app, and it purports to actually pay you the money paid by those who didn’t go to the gym if you really do go to the gym. Another similar program is the free online service Beeminder at https://www.beeminder.com/. It lets you track anything numeric, such as visits to the gym, and if you fall below the goal you set for yourself a week ago, you get charged money.

Thanks for the Beeminder plug! (I'm a co-founder.) As I just replied to another comment here about StickK, we think of ourselves as StickK.com for data nerds. We think we're drastically better than StickK for data-oriented goals (like weight loss, or anything you can make a graph of).
