Would earning or losing money motivate you to work out more? I wasn’t sure if it would work for me when I started using Pact last fall. But since then I have earned $42 working out 185 times. It might not be enough to retire on, but it has been a nice little incentive to … Continue reading
For quite a few months now my Healthworks attendance has been poor. Between the busy summer months, my recently completed design competition and having a bunch of classes at various studios to take, I’ve been neglecting the gym. I realized it was time to change things up, and after much deliberation I put my HW … Continue reading

I am torn. For a few years I have shared the same yoga studios, pilates classes and gyms with hundreds and hundreds of Lululemon clad women and men. The brand is everywhere in Boston.
