Gympact App probably worth it

Radio personalities were chatting up this sweet new app, Gympact.  Basically you enter your credit card info, register you gym/local fitness facility, and schedule out your days of the week that you plan on going there.  You get to 'incentivize your exercise' - except that incentivize is not a word.

Because of the new stalker edition of smartphones, the app will be able to register your location, date, time (but hey! at least it can't watch you park your car!).  BUT!  If you cop out on your gym time, it will CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD whatever monetary penalty you opted - how bout that??  As the app collects these charges from the slackers and pools the monies to pay people who DID go on their days/times.  BOOM.

That's pretty cool.  I'd like to get paid to go to the gym.  Except that the health and overall wellness rewards are not a bad pay-off.  Weird right?  That juicer dude, Jack LaLanne said, "Your health is your fitness wealth," (or something.)  What's it worth to you?  So app that shit if you are on the fence about your saddle bags.

Think about it for a moment.  You may absolutely loathe going to the gym.  But do you love being fat?  Working out is kind of the lesser of two evils.  Either run around for an hour and sweat a little, or look like a cow in holiday pictures for years and years for everyone to see for forever.  Ah, memories.
