Waybetter: Health motivation app

Waybetter is an app where you join fitness and health challenges by putting money in a pool. If you complete the challenge, you get a share of the money. It gives you an incentive to stay active. It costs $70 every 6 months and you need a fitness tracker.

Sample challenges could be:

Contribute $50, Walk 10k steps for 5 days a week for 2 weeks
Contribute $100, Walk 5k steps for 3 days a week for 6 weeks
Contribute $50, Track your food, 5 days a week for 2 week
Contribute $50, Run 30 mins at > 18 min/mile pace, 5 days a week for 2 week

I often stay active and can usually complete the challenges naturally. But some days I walk or run more just to meet the requirements. The game stops me from sitting too much or gaining too much weight.

In 5 months I’ve complete 104 challenges, spent $3440 and profited $408.

You can do 10 challenges at once, which will cost roughly $500 every 2 weeks. They take any type of credit card, including all gift cards, and send you the winnings via paypal. It’s a great way to stay healthy and get rid of gift cards that you have lying around.
