Level Up Your Workouts: How GoGym is Turning Fitness into a Game

     

 By turning fitness more into a game, GoGym has created a fun and engaging space where every member’s success is recognized and rewarded, making each workout a win in the journey toward a healthier, happier life.

GoGym is redefining fitness by transforming workouts into a rewarding, game-like experience that keeps members engaged and willing to come into the gym. Staying motivated to get fit and keep fit can be a challenge, especially for those new to fitness.

That’s why GoGym is introducing elements of gamification—friendly challenges, progress rewards, and community milestones, to name a few features—to make every visit engaging and fun.

“Gamifying the gym experience is the next logical step to making fitness easier to get into, and thus more accessible to all,” says Kristoff Inocentes, Head of Sales & Marketing at GoGym, and an avid gamer himself.

“We want people to keep coming back to our gyms,” Kristoff says, “To enjoy their experience as they put in the effort to achieve their fitness goals. Gamers love finishing quests, earning rewards, and leveling up. And that's exactly what we want them to do with their fitness journey at GoGym."

Through the GoGym app, members set personalized goals, track their progress, and earn reward points for every completed workout and referral shared. These points unlock exclusive rewards, from discounts on personal training to free merchandise and more. It’s not only about lifting weights or burning calories; it’s about celebrating progress, building confidence, and staying excited about the fitness journey.

“Our goal is to create a fitness experience that people genuinely enjoy,” says Chief Product Officer, Felicia Perez. “We know that fitness can feel intimidating, so we designed GoGym to make it welcoming, fun, and motivating. Gamifying the experience helps people stay engaged and see every session as a chance to level up.”

Challenges, Rewards, and a Supportive Community

Members are invited to take part in app-based challenges, from weekly workout targets to group milestones. With each completed session, they earn points that bring a sense of achievement and tangible rewards. These milestones and targets also give members some goals to strive for that will help them stay on the path to achieving their own personal fitness goals.

Community events and leaderboard challenges foster a sense of camaraderie and a bit of healthy competition, encouraging members to push their limits together. GoGym is not just a gym; it’s a community where progress is celebrated, effort is rewarded, and each member’s journey is valued.

Fitness Made Accessible and Fun

Gamifying fitness makes it fun, especially for those who may have felt out of place in traditional gyms. And who doesn’t like to have fun? GoGym’s approach turns exercise into a rewarding journey, offering a welcoming entry point for everyone, regardless of fitness level. It also helps maintain consistency as members keep coming back to continue progressing and earning rewards and achievements.

“We want to shift the focus from perfection to persistence,” adds Co-Founder and CEO, Andrew Phillips. “It’s about celebrating small victories, staying consistent, and making fitness something people look forward to.”

By turning fitness more into a game, GoGym has created a fun and engaging space where every member’s success is recognized and rewarded, making each workout a win in the journey toward a healthier, happier life.

Xpress’ RXP Program: Empowering Riders, Creating Jobs, and Building Financial Freedom

In a bid to foster economic empowerment and job creation, Xpress is proud to announce the significant impact of its innovative RXP (Rider Xpress Program) initiative. Designed to provide aspiring moto taxi riders with the opportunity to own their motorcycles, the RXP program is transforming lives and paving the way for financial freedom.

Financial Literacy and Business Acumen

Understanding the importance of financial literacy, Xpress has partnered with Cebuana Lhuillier's Ka Negosyo Center to offer RXP riders access to seminars and workshops. These sessions cover crucial topics such as budgeting, saving, and managing finances, equipping riders with the tools needed to make informed financial decisions and achieve long-term financial stability.

Testimonials from RXP Riders

The success stories of RXP riders are a testament to the program's impact. Many have shared how the program has not only provided them with a means of income but also a sense of purpose and pride. By becoming motorcycle owners, they have taken significant steps towards achieving their dreams and securing a better future for themselves and their families. Allan Tullio, a member of the RXP program, emphasizes, “Sa Xpress mararamdaman mo binibigyan ka ng halaga. May plano sila para sayo at handa silang tumulong. Sa part palang na yon, panalo na kami!". The RXP riders appreciate Xpress's commitment to supporting them, fostering a strong partnership that enables earning opportunities while ensuring mutual benefit and support.

A Vision for the Future

Xpress is committed to expanding the RXP program and continuing to support riders on their journey to financial freedom. By creating more job opportunities and providing essential training and resources, Xpress aims to contribute to the overall economic growth and well-being of the communities it serves.
