GymPact is a free web service that motivates you to go to the gym by putting money at stake. Here’s how it works, you sign up and tell the service how many days you are committing to go to the gym. If you keep your commitment, you win rewards, but if you don’t, you actually pay up.

When you signed up, you put a credit card on file so you can take your gym goals more seriously than ever. You cannot trick the service either as it requires you to check in via an iPhone app every time you go to the gym. It is a great way to make sure you follow through on your commitments.
