Someone believes you can do it. Gfit Cards turns a gift into a fitness challenge. A friend sponsors a challenge gift card for you; you claim it in the app, and every mile, step, and calorie you log earns its value — until the reward is yours. HOW IT WORKS 1. Claim your card — scan the QR code or open the card link you were sent. 2. See your challenge — the card sets the goal: distance, steps, calories, and more. 3. Earn it — track workouts with GPS and Apple Health; progress updates in real time and your card fills up as you go. 4. Choose your reward — complete the challenge, then pick digital gift cards from real brands. Split your reward across up to five brands, or spend it on a new challenge gift for someone else and pay it forward. CHALLENGE TYPES • GPS distance: running, walking, cycling, wheelchair • Step count and active calories • Elevation gain and stair climbing • Heart-rate zone minutes • Sleep, mindfulness, and open-water swim check-ins • Route-verified summit challenges (Colorado 14ers) BUILT FOR EARNING • Live workout tracking with route map on GPS challenges • Apple Watch companion streams live calories and heart rate straight into your workout • Works with the health data already on your iPhone • Cards can be shared publicly but locked to one recipient's social handle (X, GitHub, Discord, Twitch, GitLab) — only the person it's meant for can claim it GOOD TO KNOW • The app is free and sells nothing. Challenge gift cards are purchased on gfit.cards and redeemed here. • A completed reward never expires. If a challenge window lapses before completion, the buyer is refunded the full face value. • Your health and location data is used only to verify challenge progress and is never sold. Someone sponsored your goal. Go earn it.
