Pact brings into play the ultimate moti-vator: money. You commit to doing a certain number of workouts a week and name the amount you’re willing to risk if you fall short. The app charges your credit card if you fail, and pays you if you succeed—with revenue it gets from the slackers. (Free, Android or iOS)
