Pact pays you stick to health and fitness goals 

Having a hard time meeting your diet and exercise goals? Pact (formerly GymPact) is an app the employs a payment/penalty system to your exercise and dietary goals. You have three “pacts” to choose from: gym, food, and veggie. The gym pact gives you credit for stuff like your trips to the gym, reaching daily step count, etc. Food pact requires you to log your daily intake with MyFitnessPal, which syncs data with Pact. And veggie pact requires you to set a goal of eating a certain amount of fruits and veggies per week. You will have to take a photo of your veggies to verify the serving.

The app won’t need you to pay anything upfront but you have to pledge a certain amount of food or exercise goal and corresponding amount. If you don’t meet your goals you get charged a minimum of US$5. Penalties can be adjusted at $5 increments. You can download the app on Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
