How to do anything on your Mac, iPhone & iPad
Earn rewards as you push your fitness goals
WE ALL KNOW that exercise is hugely beneficial, not just for our physical capabilities, but in terms of the positive effects it can have on our happiness and mental state. Yet turning exercise into a consistent habit is often tricky.
Enter Playfitt. This app aims to build exercise into a strong, lasting habit that sticks with you. It does this by “gamifying” your activities with goals, achievements and rewards, encouraging you to keep coming back for more.
How does this work? Simple: every time you complete an exercise goal, Playfitt rewards you with coins that can be spent on real–world prizes like gift cards. It sets you challenges and shows your place on a leaderboard, tapping into the type of competitiveness that helps habits form. Before you know it, this approach will turn exercise into something you want to do day after day. It’s fun, satisfying, and free to start, while a premium subscription unlocks extra rewards and faster progression.
HOW TO Make fitness fun
Goals that Playfitt has set you for the day are on the Moves tab, with the reward shown under each one. Swipe through to choose an activity. Some (like steps) are measured automatically; others are done manually.
Choose a manually measured exercise and tap Start. Here we’ll do squats. This requires you to put your iPhone in your pocket and listen to the instructions. Playfitt logs your squats for you as you do them.
Once you hit your target, you’ll earn coins from the app. Accumulate coins over time and you can spend them on rewards such as gift cards. Return to the Moves tab and you’ll see your goal has now been completed.
