How much is regular exercise worth to you? Gym-Pact gets you to the gym on 90% of days that you want to, with a little monetary kick. Get started. Have a GymPact success story? We would love to hear it! Email stories@gym-pact.com. Blog by Marissa WindowTumblr (3.0; @gympact)http://blog.gym-pact.com/<p>Hey everyone!<br/><br/>We are working hard to make GymPact as kick ass as possible. <br/><br/>Here are the 3 tips to help make your GymPact experience a stellar one.<br/><br/>Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns and we&#8217;d be happy to help.</p> <ul><li><strong>Submit detailed 24 hour disputes:</strong> Bugs happen here and there and we are working hard to fix them as fast as possible. To ensure a speedy fix, we have transitioned over to the new 24 hour dispute system. If you bump into workout issues you must submit a report with details. Reports submitted within the 24 hour time fram will not be charged until a proper solution is set by the customer experience team. The more details you submit in the report the easier/faster it will be to find a fix. Let us know the date, what exactly happened, and what changes need to be made to your account.<br/><br/></li> <li><span><strong>There will no longer be a weekly corrections period:</strong> We will permanently be fading out all corrections emails. Users will get an attendance report email once email a week with how much money the made or lost that week. <br/><br/></span></li> <li><strong>What happens when you request deletion:</strong> Pacts run Monday - Sunday.  When you you delete your account during an active Pact will it will be scheduled for deletion on Sunday night, so you are still obligated to keep your pact for the current week. Make sure to complete all committed workouts for that current week or you will be charged. Once your account is deleted you will no longer have access to account information or rewards.</li> </ul><div><br/><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/8aa6466d36dcb5e90e903c63e0e5b27a/tumblr_inline_mok6xrK6Ns1qz4rgp.gif"/><br/><br/>Gym on!<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>The GymPact Team</div>http://blog.gym-pact.com/post/53231045104http://blog.gym-pact.com/post/53231045104Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:05:00 -0700workout+gifs<p>Hey everyone,<br/><br/>Here are a few quick reminders/updates from this week:</p> <ul><li><span>We’re permanently phasing out our Monday attendance reports and corrections period with Monday June 10th being the last day the corrections@gym-pact.com email will be accepted.</span><br/><br/><span>Instead we will be running off the 24 hour d</span><span class="text_exposed_show">ispute system.

I had first heard about Gympact from a labmate, and used it passively for a while. But finally something clicked, and I made a pact with one of my friends about eating healthy, and we kept tabs on each other. I also signed up for Kickboxing and Zumba with other friends, and that goes a long way to keep you committed. This is when I used Gympact more religiously as well. It ensured that I still made the effort to go to my classes even when I was quite exhausted. The integration with Runkeeper has also encouraged me to walk a lot more than before. I am now working on gradually increasing the number of workouts I commit to and the money I wage, every week.”<br/><br/></span><span>- GymPact user </span><span>Rishika</span></p> <p><span></span></p> <div><span> </span></div>http://blog.gym-pact.com/post/52152160577http://blog.gym-pact.com/post/52152160577Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:03:17 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/98e45c8abd37b6519491d06974c6e3ea/tumblr_mnj7a7VCaW1qlj7h1o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Pure awesome-ness.</p>http://blog.gym-pact.com/post/51595528337http://blog.gym-pact.com/post/51595528337Tue, 28 May 2013 16:15:43 -0700<p><span>GymPact is happy to announce the release of our new 24 hour dispute system. <br/><br/> When a workout does not meet Pact requirements it will now show up as a blue and orange shaded box.

If the information seems incorrect you can report it directly through the app and our customer experience team will give it a look and make the proper adjustments. If you report within the 24 hour time frame you will not be charged until the issue is resolved.
