PaidWorkout

Paid Workout is a fitness motivation app that gamifies and incentivizes fitness and activity. We believe this app is driving the growth of wellness gaming! Founders Nicole Pekerman and Michael Bluestein saw an opportunity to motivate people to jump-start their fitness journey by customizing and rewarding short-term wins as an encouragement model. The British Journal of Sports Medicine determined that regardless of fitness level, frequency of exercise, or the reason for working out, people are much more likely to maintain a fitness program when money is involved.
