Back in 2011, I attended a HUGE conference called the Massachusetts Conference for Women.  I was lucky enough to sit next to an awesome woman named Yifan.  Yifan, a recent Harvard graduate, told me that she developed the GymPact app with a friend named Geoff; the concept was based on Yifan’s behavioral economics class, where she studied ways financial incentives could motivate difficult actions.

The idea behind the app was pretty genius…

 

GymPact is an incentive-based program to motivate you to go to the gym.  Each week, you pledge to hit the gym a certain number of days a week (one to seven) and you ‘stake’ a cash amount (starting at $5 for every workout you miss).   If you meet your goal, you get paid via PayPal by the other GymPacters who didn’t meet their goal.

 

The original GymPact app tracked your workouts by requiring you to ‘check in’ to gym locations using your phone’s GPS.  Eventually, the app expanded to integrate with RunKeeper, so you could workout anywhere, anyway and it would count towards your pact.

And you can make (or lose!) REAL MONEY with GymPact.  I made over $40 over the course of several months… just for working out like I would’ve done otherwise.  Pretty cool!  In the last two years, GymPact has from two employees to over 15 and from a GPS-based gym activity tracker to an app that incentives all types of physical activity. In the last year alone, GymPact users logged over 3.8 million workouts!

This New Year’s, GymPact is rebranding as Pact. Instead of only tracking workouts, Pact now addresses another aspect of healthy living – eating!

You can track fruits and veggies OR you can promise to log your food through the Pact app’s integration with the MyFitnessPal app.  Just like the old GymPact, each week, you set a goal (such as five servings of fruits and veggies a day) and stake cash (starting at $5).  If you meet your goal, you make money from the Pacters that didn’t, but if you don’t meet your goal, you lose the money you staked.

 

To track your fruits and veggies intake, you post photographs of your meals and snacks to the Pact community. Other users vote whether or not the food ‘counts’ as a fruit or veg.

I really like the community aspect of the app because I think it’s fun to scroll through and see what other people are eating!  It’s fun to vote up and down, too!

 

One of my concerns with the new Pact app was the customer service side of the experience.  I’ve had a few readers email me to say that they had trouble getting the old GymPact team to respond to technical difficulties or billing questions. When Pact approached me to write about their new app, I immediately asked how the team planned to address their users’ concerns. I was happy to hear that Pact has entirely revamped their customer service team.  Jen, who is now in charge of ‘customer experience,’ told me that, “Our Customer Experience Team has nearly doubled in size, and we’ve streamlined our workflow to ensure all user issues are addressed within 3-12 hours. With these changes in place, we are prepped and eager to deliver industry-leading customer support." Jen said that if anyone has any issues to please email me for her contact info.

 

I’m really excited about the changes to the Pact app.  It seems so holistic now – a truly great tool to motivate you to stick to ALL of your healthy living goals!

I can’t wait to use the new Pact throughout the New Year.  It’s the perfect complement to a few of my New Year’s Resolutions.

 

And speaking of complements to resolutions… to celebrate the new Pact, I’m giving away this AWESOME Camelbak Eddy water bottle.  I recently got one and adore it so much that I have to give one away!   To win the water bottle, just leave a comment telling me your goals for 2014! I’ll pick a winner on Friday.

If you want to download the new Pact app, head over to their website for links to the iPhone and Android version. 

 

And just like last year, I’m hosting GymPact Twitter Party to celebrate the New Year. Come join us for the Twitter party TODAY at 8 PM EST / 5 PM EST.  We’ll be tweeting under the hashtag #PactApp (did I mention there will be prizes?).  Follow us at @CaitlinHTP or @PactApp.

 

This post was sponsored by Pact, but the giveaway is sponsored by me. :)  Happy New Year!

    I’m close….2:02 !

  • Lauren January 1, 2014, 12:32 pm

    Happy New Year!! This giveaway is perfect because my top resolution is to drink more water! I feel like the amount of water I drink affects every aspect of my health, but it’s so hard to remember and my water bottle right now is tiny! Other resolutions are to study French, visit at least one foreign country (preferably France :)) and read as many books as possible.

  • Elisabeth January 1, 2014, 12:33 pm

    I’ve always wanted to try the Camelback bottles! My goals for 2014 include losing the last 40-50 pounds (lost 200 pounds since December 2012) and to get a new job in my field as a medical laboratory scientist in North Carolina (just moved to the Raleigh area from Ohio, where I lived for the first 31 years of my life). 😉

  • Katie H. January 1, 2014, 12:36 pm

  • Abby January 1, 2014, 12:40 pm

    To do a triathlon, been away from it for 3 years. And I decided to pick one goal each month and work on a shorter goal for one month in the hope of changing some behaviors and becoming more organized. January, staying off the iPad after the kids go down at night and either working on a project or reading!

  • Sarah r January 1, 2014, 12:41 pm

    My goal is to spend more time with my husband. We have a … Stubborn toddler at home and we’ve def spent very little alone time over the past year. Time to change that!

  • Rachel January 1, 2014, 12:44 pm

    Starting back in mid-December, my goal is to lose 50 lbs in 1 year through regular exercise and healthy eating tracked using MyFitnessPal! I used GymPact this last summer and loved it. I have been waiting to hear about the new Pact app and it looks like it’ll be perfect to help me reach my goal on a day-by-day level!

  • Becki Walker January 1, 2014, 12:44 pm

    My goal is more strength training! I run and run and run but just can’t seem to stick to any strength training regimen.

  • Jillian January 1, 2014, 12:47 pm

    For 2014, I’m focusing on traveling as much as possible and maintain a more consistent healthy diet and workout regime.

    Here’s to hoping that actually happens!

  • Katie January 1, 2014, 12:48 pm

    My goal is to eat less sugar and processed food and more real foods. I hope this will help me to loseu last 20 pounds and actually keep it off!

  • Lisa January 1, 2014, 12:50 pm

    In the new year I would love to be more spontaneous !

  • Lacey January 1, 2014, 12:55 pm

    My goal for 2014 is to finally complete my first sprint triathlon….2014 is my year!!!

    Also, for the pact app, I don’t have a data plan on my phone and my gym doesn’t have wifi do I still need to “check-in”? How does this work…don’t want to pay for a data plan just to use this app…I know I’m old school but trying to keep costs down on my phone

  • Kerry January 1, 2014, 12:55 pm

    My goals for 2014 are to read more books during the time that I usually spend browsing the internet, PR in the 5k distance, and bike or bus to work at least 4 days every week! I am celebrating my first full-time job as of the new year, so learning to continue my healthy habits in this transition will be really essential for me.

    I will probably download GymPact now that you explained it all! It will definitely keep me motivated!

  • Kelsey @ Ramblings of Change January 1, 2014, 12:57 pm

    One of my goals in 2014 is to hopefully participate in a CrossFit competition!

  • Jazmin Jones January 1, 2014, 12:58 pm

    My new year resolution is to fully adopt a vegan lifestyle and to make exercise a part of my daily routine.

  • Katherine January 1, 2014, 1:05 pm

    My goals for 2014 are to be more consistent with exercise and water intake! Sometimes I do really well and other times, not so much.

  • Marissa C January 1, 2014, 1:06 pm

    I’ve been on a Gympact break now for months (gave up during the nauseated days of pregnancy) but I’m still so hesitant to go back. People, including me, were still having major issues around the time they said they were revamping their customer service (June timeframe I think?) and it doesn’t seem like it has gotten that much better. I still get updates from the Facebook page and they are late on giving out the payments all the time, yet it seems they are never late on charging, even when there is an error. What scares me the most is people who have reported trying to cancel their accounts only to never get responses and still get charged.

    I really loved the concept and it worked for me, but I’m really nervous to start opening access to my credit card again, especially now that they are going to be tracking a heck of a lot more pacts with the same team of people.

    That, and the rewards have gotten pretty low. 38 cents a workout last week, I believe?

  • Ashley January 1, 2014, 1:07 pm

    I know its so cliche, but my goal is to get back in shape! I gave birth to twin girls 18 months ago and gained 50 lbs while I was pregnant!!! The first 30 came off immediately, but the last year and a half I’ve been carrying around the last stubborn 20 lbs. I’m DETERMINED to get it off this year!!! I think I just needed some time before really committing (raising twin newborns is TOUGH!!!) I’m now in a place where I think it can really be done! Sounds like PACT can help motivate me, too!!!

  • Abi@AbsofSteel January 1, 2014, 1:07 pm

    run a half marathon!

  • Carol Mclemore January 1, 2014, 1:12 pm

    My goals is to eat healthier and lose 15lbs this year.

    My goals for 2014 are to look and feel great for my wedding in August, stay organized and stay happy!

  • Tori January 1, 2014, 1:18 pm

    My goal is to log all my workouts. All of my runner/tri friends are posting their end of year totals and I know I blew all my previous records out of the water— but I have just followed plans and not logged workouts. I would use Pact but I think I might be the only person left in their 20s without a smartphone. I already logged my first run of the year!

  • ann January 1, 2014, 1:19 pm

    Get healthier, enjoy family time more, follow budgeting and stick to previous stated resolution.

  • Liza January 1, 2014, 1:20 pm

    I hope to spend less time on mindless activities like TV and more time on things that really matter to me!

  • Anne Weber-Falk January 1, 2014, 1:28 pm

    I will get out of my lame exercise rut and really work harder. No more excuses. I want to feel good again. Hello good cardio and nice to see you again my free weight friends.

  • Alison January 1, 2014, 1:33 pm

    My goal for 2014 is to exercise consistently and to remember how great exercise makes me feel when I am struggling to go for a run or get to the gym 🙂

  • Clizia January 1, 2014, 1:42 pm

    That’s a beautiful bottle! My goal is getting back into running; I stopped in September when I started my new job and I really miss it.

  • Glenneth January 1, 2014, 1:45 pm

    my goal for 2014 is to become my healthiest self ever!

  • Katie January 1, 2014, 1:47 pm

    yay! I need to figure out how to get the yoga studio I teach at recognized on the PACT app! My goals are incorporating the word “peace” running/walking 500 miles, and completing my first triathlon!

  • Michelle January 1, 2014, 1:48 pm

    2014 is a big year for me. I am finally getting over my concussion, so I can go back to the gym. I am getting married in October, so I am motivated to go back to the gym. I am going to plan my meals in advance so I eat healthier. I also want to run a few races before the wedding. I find if I have a race coming up, I will run because I have a deadline.
    I will conquer 2014!!!!

  • Sara @ LovingOnTheRun January 1, 2014, 1:52 pm

    My goal this year is to run and train smart and stay injury free!

  • Leah January 1, 2014, 1:53 pm

    I want to do my first FULL marathon! I’ve done 6 half marathons and want to take the plunge to at least try a full 🙂

  • Sagan January 1, 2014, 1:54 pm

    I’d never heard of Pact before – what a cool idea! And I love that it keeps you accountable and truthful by actually monitoring that you’re doing what you say you’ll do.

    That Camelbak is so pretty! My goals: learn how to mend socks so I don’t have to buy new ones every three months, lose 15 lbs, and finally get around to reading Ulysses by James Joyce.

  • Kathryn January 1, 2014, 1:54 pm

    I’m having a rough pregnancy so my goal is to deliver a healthy baby hopefully as close to May 1st as possible! Means lots of healthy eating and staying off my feet… And drinking lots of water!

  • Sara January 1, 2014, 1:56 pm

    Happy New Year! My main goal for this year is to start a budget spreadsheet and become more knowledgeable about my finances and saving/investing options. Now that I’m out of my 20s, the need to start setting aside for retirement (what?!) and big life purchases in general is becoming more important to me. Any helpful blogs or tips are more than welcome!

  • Carly G January 1, 2014, 1:57 pm

    My goal is to have my baby! And then hopefully get back into shape!

  • Tiffany D'Abbraccio January 1, 2014, 2:01 pm

  • Tess January 1, 2014, 2:12 pm

  • Nicole January 1, 2014, 2:22 pm

    I’m a new mom to a six week old & will be going back to work in a few weeks. My intention for 2014 is to be present. The rest of my maternity leave is going to go so fast and then I’ll be learning to balance home & work. I’m committing to focusing on the here & now, whether it be shaking a rattle for my little girl instead of trying to keep her distracted so I can do a household chore or to be focused on a work project instead of feeling torn that I’m not home with my little one instead. Wish me luck !

  • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine January 1, 2014, 2:23 pm

    I’m still working on my goals, but what I have so far: run my first marathon and another half marathon, read three books on writing, and PR in a race!

    After getting married 6 months ago I came down with a serious case of the F-it’s with regards to food and excersize. I’m not going on a “diet” and I’m not going to “excersize more” I’m just going to recommit myself to an overall healthier and more active lifestyle.

    Happy New Year!

  • Jenn January 1, 2014, 3:13 pm

  • Alice January 1, 2014, 4:31 pm

    My 2014 goal is to be kinder to myself. All my life, I’ve constantly criticized myself and my accomplishments, but over the last six months I’ve made some progress towards loving myself. I think the new year is going to be full of more compassion towards myself.

  • Lauren S January 2, 2014, 8:35 am

    One of my goals for 2014 is to procrastinate less. My biggest flaw is putting things off to the last minute or not doing it all, which leads to stressful situations. I want to “get things done” in 2014 to alleviate stress.

  • Brittney January 2, 2014, 8:35 am

    I would say getting back into running is one of my big goals this year. Also, drinking more water is a goal, so a new water bottle would be handy 😉

    In a word Love More: be more compassionate & loving with myself and others. Make that happen by being impeccable with my word (no snarky talk about others or myself), kind in my actions (even holding a door open for someone counts), and loving in my thoughts & intentions (sending loving energy out to the world). And of course step up workouts and hit my goals of: a marathon in 2014 & a half ironman.

  • Sarah F. January 2, 2014, 10:13 am

    I love the idea of this app so much! I haven’t signed up in the past though because I mostly just do yoga at home. Is there a way they can tell I did my workout at home?

    Thanks for spreading the word!

  • Rob Runs January 2, 2014, 11:54 am

    My officemate has one of those bottles, which I drool over as I sip from my boring old Sigg!

    This year my fitness goals are to sub-5 the marathon, PR the half, and beat my friend Kris in an April 10k (I feel good about the first two!). I’ve really wanted to get a Gym Pact but a huge percentage of my workouts are running outdoors and I don’t use RunKeeper or have my phone on me all the time when I run (though I pretty much always have my Garmin). I could really use the cash!

  • Kim January 2, 2014, 11:55 am

    My fitness goals for 2014 are to train and run the 10 mile race I signed up for in April, and to do more yoga/pilates classes to strengthen my core.

  • Sharon@DiscoverExploreLearn January 2, 2014, 12:36 pm

  • Andrea B. January 2, 2014, 1:10 pm

    I plan to run a half marathon, eat more fruits and veggies, and manage my money better!

  • Autumn January 2, 2014, 1:14 pm

    My goal is to have a healthy baby. I am due in July. Also, I will stress less with my messy house. I have been able to maintain a small level of order and I imagine it won’t get any easier after baby. Thankfully my house is only 650 square feet and relatively easy to clean…when I feel like it.

  • Anne January 2, 2014, 1:19 pm

  • Katie Silakowski January 2, 2014, 4:04 pm

    My goal for 2014? Be content and be intentional. 🙂

  • Katie January 2, 2014, 4:24 pm

    My goal is to get active again after having a baby and going back to work! I was so active during my maternity leave, but quit when I went back to work and it’s time to get moving again!

  • Barbara January 2, 2014, 4:58 pm

  • kelsey January 2, 2014, 8:50 pm

    My goal – complete my first Ironman! As for Gympact – I used to use it until one day I was unable to check in and so I emailed their support team (which was GREAT at resolving all my previous issues!!!) and NEVER heard back and got charged and promptly quit. This was in July and if you can believe it I just got an email back now in DECEMBER (they did refund me… but still… 5 months later?) So they have lost me as a subscriber!
