GYMorDONATE – The Exercise Attendance Tracker
Tell us where your gym is.
Tell us which day and time you would like to train If your phone isn’t at your gym at that time...
You donate to charity.
No more missed promises to yourself. Get in shape.
Exercise, or pay for it.
A mobile app that makes you either attend your planned exercise routine, or donate to charity. GYMorDONATE is an exercise planner. You insert your routine schedule within the app and GYMorDONATE tracks, using your phone’s location, whether or not you are attending the exercise event that you told yourself you would do. If you tell the app that you will be going to the gym after work, at 6pm on Monday – your phone’s location must be at your gym at 6pm on Monday (between 5.45pm & 6.15pm). If you do not stick to your exercise plan and you miss a workout you must donate a customizable value to charity ($0.50-$10). If you are lazy, a charity can reep the rewards. If you are working out, you will reep the rewards. You can use the app to maintain successful attendance in both aerobic workouts (going on a run/cycle) or gym workouts. If you have scheduled a gym workout your phone must be at your gym at the time of workout (within -15/+15 minutes of workout time: you have half an hour to check-in). If you have scheduled an aerobic workout your phone must firstly be at your aerobic workout starting point, and then your phone must be seen to leave your starting point at the time of workout (within-15/+15 minutes of workout time).
- Schedule your weekly exercise routine into our app
– Attend the exercise session that you had planned (no donation)
- Skip the exercise session that you had planned (money is added to your donation balance)
- Donate your balance when you have a spare moment – you can let money accrue, but we recommend that you donate your balance at least once a month.
GYMorDONATE gives you an extra incentive to keep to your exercise routine: the app creates a monetary consequence for missing your workout that also helps your chosen charity.
