6 Fitness Apps that Pays for Everyday Workout

1. Lumihealth (iOS only)

LumiHealth is an exclusive collaboration between Apple and Singapore’s Health Promotion Board (HPB), designed to encourage healthier lifestyles through gamification. Available only to iPhone and Apple Watch users, LumiHealth rewards users with up to $380 worth of HPB vouchers, redeemable at merchants like NTUC and Cold Storage.

The program works by encouraging users to “close their rings” a certain number of times per week - starting from three times a week and progressively increasing to six. Completing weekly challenges earns 8,000 points, with additional points awarded through simple wellness and exercise challenges suitable for all ages.

In addition, there are challenges to complete which awards you additional points as well. These range from exercise challenges to wellness challenges which are relatively simple for anyone to complete regardless of age.

This initiative not only promotes fitness but also offers tangible incentives, making it a worthwhile consideration for Apple users in Singapore. It’s a fun way that actually helps gamify your exercise and health goals, so we recommend getting it if you got an iPhone and Apple Watch.

2. Healthy 365

Developed by the Singapore Government, Healthy 365 is a popular fitness tracking app aimed at promoting physical activity. It encourages users to take at least 10,000 steps daily and clock 150 minutes of vigorous exercise per week.

Compatible with most smartphones that track steps, Healthy 365 integrates seamlessly with various devices, making it an accessible tool for anyone looking to stay active. During initiatives like the National Steps Challenge, users can earn points redeemable for HPB vouchers - similar to LumiHealth.

A notable advantage is the ability to use both LumiHealth and Healthy 365 concurrently, allowing users to maximise rewards from both platforms. Best part is you can stack both Lumihealth and Healthy 365 to double dip your rewards!

3. Stepbet

StepBet is a fitness motivation app that rewards users for meeting personalised step goals. To participate, users place a monetary “bet” into a communal pot before joining a game. Those who meet their step targets over a set period win back their initial stake plus a share of the prize pool contributed by those who didn’t meet their goals.

The app sets individual targets based on past activity, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned athletes. Free games are available for trial, though a membership unlocks premium games with no platform fees, allowing users to keep 100% of their winnings. Earnings can be reinvested in new challenges or withdrawn via PayPal.

4. Dietbet

DietBet uses financial incentives to help users stay committed to their weight loss goals. The platform offers two types of games:

• Kickstarter: Lose 4% of body weight in 4 weeks.

• Transformer: Lose 10% of body weight over 6 months.

Participants place a bet, with winnings distributed among those who successfully meet the targets. Monthly weigh-ins are required for Transformer games, and successful participants receive their bet back along with their share of the prize pot. There are also maintenance challenges for those looking to sustain their weight.

5. Waybetter

WayBetter - the parent company of StepBet and DietBet - offers a broader wellness app under the same name. Similar in structure, users commit money to complete health and lifestyle challenges, ranging from eating better and exercising to mindfulness practices and personal development tasks.

A 30-day free trial allows new users to test the platform. Membership unlocks a variety of games and activities aimed at holistic well-being, with monetary rewards for task completion.

6. Coin App

For those interested in cryptocurrency, the COIN App rewards users for physical movement. Users earn COIN tokens by exploring their surroundings, which can be exchanged for XYO tokens - a cryptocurrency tradable on various exchanges.

While free to start, investing in optional physical devices can significantly boost earnings. Monthly subscriptions are available for more serious users. As the value of XYO fluctuates, users can choose to cash out their tokens when the market conditions are favourable. A basic understanding of cryptocurrency and wallet transfers is recommended for optimal use.

Conclusion

For anyone seeking extra motivation to stay active, these apps turn everyday movement and healthy habits into rewarding experiences. Beyond the monetary benefits, the real gain lies in improved health, fitness, and well-being - proving that working out can indeed be both fun and rewarding.
