WHY IT WORKS
The research is on the comeback's side.
Weekly gym visits +27%
A small reward for coming back after a missed workout, over a placebo, in a 4-week programme. +16% against the study’s own baseline; 8% of programmes kept a lift after they ended. Milkman et al., Nature 2021 · 61,293 US gym members
How likely people were to go +33%
At the start of a new week, about a third more likely. Dai, Milkman & Riis, 2014 · 11,912 students at one US university gym
one missed week
A gym habit takes 4 to 7 months
One missed week shouldn’t wipe that out. Buyalskaya et al., PNAS 2023 · 30,110 US gym members
Research, not Apeks results. Apeks has no results yet.

Before Monday,
a few answers.
For members
Do I need to go to the gym already?
No. Pick a day you'd like to go. Your first visit counts after you tap Start at the gym and spend 30 minutes there.
What is Apeks?
A gym app that counts your visits. Plan your gym days, check in when you go, and follow your attendance on the boards. Returning after a missed planned visit earns comeback credit on your rank.
What counts as a visit?
Tap Start inside your gym. Apeks checks you're within 150 m, and the visit counts after 30 minutes on site. Location is used only while the session runs.
What if I miss a week?
Nothing resets, and nobody in the app sees your missed days. After seven days away or more, Apeks offers a short two-visit week to help you restart.
How do I get paid?
In free days, passes and sessions from your gym, when you come back after a break. Your gym pays; Apeks never holds your money. It is a pilot, not live yet.
Is Apeks free?
It's free during the test.
Is Apeks a workout planner?
No. It helps you plan when to go; it doesn't tell you what to lift.
Do I have to wait until Monday?
No. Visits count on any day. Monday is when new four-week rooms start.
Can I download it yet?
Not yet. Apeks is in a small Android test with friends in Mumbai. Tap “Tell me when it opens” to hear when it's available.
For gyms
What is the pilot?
A free four-week comeback pilot. You put up a small non-cash thank-you, like a guest pass, a free session or a month’s extension. Apeks sends the comeback nudges, tracks gym-confirmed returns and gives you a short report against a similar group we didn’t contact. Pilot, not live.
Does it cost anything?
No fee during the pilot. Your gym pays only the thank-you it chooses. Apeks never holds your money.
What do you need from us?
A 20-minute chat, a way to confirm visits (the front desk, a desk code or an export of your own check-in log), and your own list of members who stopped coming.
Will you see my members’ missed days?
Not in the Apeks app: a member’s missed days stay private there. Your comeback list comes from your own attendance records, and Apeks only contacts members who opt in.
For brands
What does a brand put in?
Samples or vouchers as the thank-you for pilot members who return after a break. Every returning member gets one. No purchase needed. Labelled as sponsored.
Does it cost anything?
No fee. Apeks never holds your money.
What does a brand get?
A trial among people who just proved they go to a gym, and a mention in the pilot recap. The pilot is small, and we promise no reach.
