I need to bribe myself to go to the gym more. I've done this before with a friend and it worked well. Here's how it works.
Every day, Monday through Friday, you send me a PM asking me if I went to the gym. I can also give you access to my online calorie tracker so you can just login daily instead and verify I listed gym activity. Or you can switch between the two methods. For every day you catch me NOT exercising on a weekday, I pay you $10 paypal.
The benefit for you? There are no excuses on my end EXCEPT things like hospital stays, etc. which very obviously makes it impossible for me to go to the gym (and I would expect you to be reasonable with those types of reasons). Too much work to do, have a cold, etc. are NOT excuses and I will pay you on those days.
My last gym buddy tended to make at least $20-$30/mo or so, cause there are definitely days I simply can't make it to the gym. But I want to feel financial pain on those days so I go the next day.
So how about it... who wants the job?
