Who is the study for?

It's not for those under 18, non-members unwilling to join, people unable to exercise, or individuals advised against exercising due to health conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if financial rewards encourage YMCA members with inactive lifestyles to work out more. Participants could earn $100-$200 by attending at least 50 sessions within two separate six-month periods and will be assessed every three months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct medical side effects from participating in this trial as it involves monetary incentives rather than medical interventions. However, increased physical activity may lead to muscle soreness or injury if not done properly.
