Show HN: Hold yourself accountable for gym visits with a $10 stake

I don't go to the gym as much as I should or want to. To give myself some financial motivation I made this website.

First you set a goal for how many days you'll hit the gym. To prove you're at the gym, you will verify each visit by pressing a button on your phone (with location sharing on). You stake $10 as motivation and if you hit your target, you get the money back. If you fail, your $10 goes to the "Save The Children" charity with a donation receipt emailed to you.

Obviously you could visit the gym and then just go home without working out - but getting to the gym is half the battle!

It's simple to use with a Google sign-in and hopefully it will encourage some people to workout (or give to charity)!
