i guess the same justification as usual in these cases apply, the price is a feature, it's a commitment you make to do the workout, and you get some services out of it.
Sadly we know how well this idea works from gym subscriptions 😅
Jay@tshirtman @grumpygamer Starting a new app called “Lift or Loan”: users give me $100/month to hold onto and if they check in at a gym for X amount of hours per week, they can earn their money back.
@WhiteCatTamer
how much does that price an hour of *not* going to the gym ? because you'll propably keep that money 😅

@grumpygamer
@tshirtman @grumpygamer It’ll be a threshold the user sets. So if someone wants to go 2 times a week for an hour, then failing that per week is $25.
@WhiteCatTamer
it seems worth the experiment, but i fear you keeping the money might not be enough motivation, it'd have to be invested in fossile fuel or the private prison industry so people will really not want that to happen.

@tshirtman @grumpygamer I get to publish your “Before” pictures to my “Wall of Shame” every month you pay the full $100?
