Receipts: Fitness Rewards

This app has recently helped me to regain some extra motivation to do exercise. Getting to earn points that I can redeem towards gift cards is super fun and doing “tracks” with my partner to help keep each other motivated has been awesome! This app has got me doing things I’ve never thought myself capable of like running 20 miles in one week! Highly recommend!

The app works well with the fitness device, and I think if you’re using it for training for something like a marathon, it would be great. For general use and encouragement to move after sitting at a desk all day, maybe not for most. Rewards outside of NYC that I could use and I would want you need referrals, but I wouldn’t refer it to my friends/family since they would want to use the same ones and thus need to send three referrals. Referrals require intensity minutes which I feel aren’t great (documentation says that you need about 115 bpm). Even if I do the same workout on a treadmill, at the same speed, longer workouts will have less than some shorter workouts. This also makes the challenges/tracks a bit of a pain to match (even with a week to do them). If I’ve done an hour treadmill and it only gives 10 minutes of intensity, but 45 are needed for the challenge, I won’t get back on to do another workout to meet the challenge. The next day I might get 45, the next I might get 3. Overall it works, if you’re using it just to keep track of workouts past your regular fitness app. It’s fine, but I think it’s meant for people who are training for something more seriously than just making sure they get up and move after work

Intentional and motivational fitness app built by a team who cares. What more could you ask for? Always excited after a workout to see how many intensity minutes I just powered through. Receipts rewards you throughout your journey to 150 intensity mins (instead of gating points behind thresholds) and even offers bonus points if you meet or exceed your goal. Support is super responsive and honestly delightful to interact with. I had an issue with one of my workouts and they pushed out a bug fix within hours! Excited for what’s to come with the app. Highly recommend this gem.
