Get paid to exercise

I downloaded the Move app during my first month at CU and have used it to earn an extra $25 each month, just for doing the activity that I already do! The app can be a bit clunky to use, but I love being literally rewarded for being active, and working to meet or surpass the movement goal each month has been great encouragement for me to stay active as well. You need to be sure to go into the app a few times a month to ensure that all of your activities are syncing, or connect the app with your other activity apps/trackers, but overall it's a quick process, and worth the extra money.

As someone with an always-on communications job and caretaking responsibilities outside of work, it's always a challenge for me to make time for my own well-being, including exercise. The Move app is just what I need to motivate myself to get outdoors for a walk a few times a week and stay healthy....which, in turn, benefits my work and personal responsibilities. Thank you!

Being a coach I am out on the field almost every day and on my feet all day long so getting my steps in is easy. The extra monthly payment for hitting my daily move goal is an added bonus reminding me that I work for a university that values my personal health as much as I do.

This reward program is so easy to use. I downloaded the app and connected my FitBit, which I wear every day anyway, then I rack up active minute days. It does motivate me to get my active minutes. I have to get at least 30 minutes a day, 12 days a month to get the reward. At first, that was my threshold but now I am getting 15-20 days a month. Awesome little bonus in my paycheck every quarter too.

I have been utilizing the BeMoveColorado app for the benefit of losing weight. It is holding me accountable to put in the time, to track the time I walk, swim, yoga. Because of this app I am actually remembering "oh I need to be active today".

Since I don't really have a "live" accountability partner, this app has been a great tool to use. My department also hosts wellness challenges where we post in our internal MS Teams group screenshots of our exercise. The extra incentive of $25 per month if we hit 12 active days assists in contributing to the cost of gyms and studios for a more versatile exercise experience.

It's only $25 per month, but it's just the right motivator to encourage me to go on daily walks, even if I'm...(insert excuse) feeling tired, it's cold, I can't be bothered, I'm too busy...etc. The app is great and easy to use and I love seeing the weekly totals of how many miles I've walked, the badges to say I achieved my goals, and the $25 in my paycheck is a nice dopamine hit that encourages me to keep on using the Move. app! I have used other apps and methods to try to build a daily walking habit, and none has worked as well to date as the Move. app and the $25 incentive. Thank you!

CU move helps make the exercise that I am already doing a little more incentivized. However, I wish that it would sync directly without having to log in every month and download my workouts from Apple Heath.

My CU Move App lets me afford to be able to be part of a gym monthly and has encouraged many adventures! I love being encouraged to workout and have brought many friends and coworkers into being active with me.

I have used this application since it began. I love to look back on where I did my steps and bike rides under Results/Maps, especially when I am on vacation. Shutting the screen off while recording steps/bike rides saves the battery.

I love this reward program. I connected to my smartwatch that I wear all day. I have been working out to lose weight that I gained during the Pandemic and thanks to this app- I have met my goal of losing 30 pounds! Thanks for the app and for the $25 incentive that keeps me moving!

I love, love, love this benefit! I've been participating in this program since its inception at CU and the extra $25 really does motivate me to move every month. Please continue with this program!

I absolutely love this perk. It's great to have a little external motivation for working out, and I love getting the little extra bonus every quarter. I usually use it to get myself a little treat, one year I used it for an Apple Watch!

I have been using MOVE pay for the past several years and it is one of the best perks from CU. It motivates me to finish 12 days of activity as required and go beyond that.

After transitioning into a work from home position, I struggled to stay active/get my daily steps in. The Move app makes it easy to track my activity, and hold myself accountable. Plus, I get a little Serotonin boost when I see the app's celebration after I've met my goal.

I really like the Move app/pay to exercise and the motivation it gives me to get out there and walk several times a week. This benefit really has been helpful - especially after being shut up during COVID. It reminds me to keep moving and make healthier exercise choices. I have been using this consistently for several months now.

I started walking 10,000 steps a day last year and have been continuing every day. Nice to get $75 extra every 3 months on my paycheck and I am reaping the health benefits!

The Move app is awesome. I've used it religiously for the past six years at least, and it helps defray the cost of my IKON Season Pass each year.

It has been amazing and so simple. I linked it to my google fit and it tracks my steps and active minutes without me doing anything except stay active. I love this perk!

Using Move has been great since I already go to the gym 6 days a week and can log my exercises to save some money.

I love having an extra incentive to get up and move. I work remotely full time and it is so beneficial to me to have the extra reminder and incentive to move at least 30 minutes throughout the day.

I really like being able to sync the Move. app with my Apple Watch, and I appreciate the gentle motivation of knowing I can earn $25 a month just by getting up and getting moving.

I have been using it every month, and get a payment every 3 months. The app is clunky, and does not always sync to my phone app, so i make sure to manually start it - versus using the build in connection.
 

I really appreciate being able to log my activity and get money to support at gym membership or joining a class. It's easy to use and keeps me active and accountable.

Love the CU move, wish app was a little cleaner and would work better but great to encourage fitness

This app is pretty good. It does require internet to record a workout, so if you are planning on using this to record back-country type activities I would say that is a bit of a negative. I frequently forget to turn it off after a workout, but it does motivate me to go for a walk. Hitting 12 days per month to earn $25 is not too difficult if you set a reminder for yourself. Free $300 per year!

I appreciate being rewarded for the activity I do every day and am pleased the CU offers this monthly incentive that is extremely accessible to everyone whenever it suits our schedules. A critique: The Move app is quite clunky and I don't have a smart watch/fitbit to track my data passively so I have to open the app each time I want to track.
 

This app keeps me motivated and moving during my day. It helps because I am at my desk most of the time. I love being able to reach my health goals and get reimbursed for doing so.

I have really enjoyed and appreciated the thought of being rewarded for exercise. I have been riding my bike to work more and making it a point to get exercise in other ways, as well.

My partner (who also works at CU Denver) and I have been using the Move app along with our Apple watches to track our exercise each month and it has been super helpful! Besides the $25 we get each month which is always a nice plus, the app also helps us see our progress with exercise and motivates us to get out and exercise more each month.

Even though I have not earn money, It sure has motivated me to do more exercise than I used to. I just have to remember to set it before I start my workout. :}

I never knew this was an option, but it is such a great idea to motivate to get steps and save some money! I love that it syncs with your other apps and was easy to use.

The app is great and I love getting a little bonus every 3 months added to my paycheck.

I use the app Move and connect it to my apple watch to track my workouts and motivate myself to workout 12 times per month to get the $25 Move credit from CU!

So easy to sign up and easy to sync with my Strava account! I know this app will help motivate me to ride my bike to work!

I love the Move app. I use it every month and hit my goal, but it keeps me motivated to KEEP moving even after I hit my goals. I also love the extra money on my paycheck - it helps keep me motivated every month!

using move has been really fun and a challenge to myself to exercise for at least 12 days a month. I have been trying to beat my days from the previous month, and its always nice to see that reflected in my paycheck

Really motivating and got me to tour and fall in love with the on campus fitness center

Love the new updates, syncing is super easy now!

Very easy to use, sometimes it pauses for some reason but otherwise it is easy to understand and I like getting rewarded for doing something positive for my health.

I downloaded the CU Move app this month and have been using it. It is helping me be aware of how active I am at work already and encourages me to be more active outside of work. I do have some problems with it timing out or losing connection and losing my progress during certain activities, but for the most part I've enjoyed my experience with the App.

This has allowed me to purchase a FitBit (cost covered after a few months of hitting goal) and motivates me to at least do minimum exercise and movement.

It's been great, I exercise daily and log my workouts/runs through my Garmin watch which automatically connects to CU move, and collect the $25 a month.

I really like this because it encourages me to exercise, track my health etc. If I get to my goals, it ends up covering the cost of my gym membership, which is awesome. I do have some issues with the technology. The Move app works fairly well, but when things like you get a new phone, or you get a new tracking device, or there's some software update on any one of these, often it gets really confusing as to if I got it set up right, or if it's correct. Lately I have had issues with it over-counting; not that it is a bad thing for me to have all the days easily counted-but when it overcounts it's harder to know if I'm actually putting in some effort if that makes sense. Usually the Move app customer service is pretty good about helping quickly but it is sometimes a challenge to get all that part working. Overall though it is a really good incentive to get moving and I appreciate it!!
 

I use the Move app when I work out, and it's making me cold, hard cash. All you have to do is download the app, set it up, and use it each time you do something active. It's a wonderful way to get rewarded for taking care of yourself. Thanks, CU!

I love using the Move app! It incentives me to work out more and I love tracking my progress from month to month. I think this is a great incentive provided by the University, and it makes it easier when you do it with your coworkers and can hold each other accountable.

Entering my monthly cardio workouts on the Move app has been a breeze! I already exercised regularly before using the Move app, but finding out that I can get reimbursed for my monthly cardio was great. Thank you, CU Advantage, for making this perk available!

Overall it's a great benefit! The incentive to move daily is great, and getting a couple extra dollars each quarter is very nice! 


The Move App is pretty antiquated, it can be glitchy and unreliable. But I appreciate the extra dollars so thanks!

Move encourages me to stay active throughout the week. I like being able to meet my goal of doing physical activity at least 12 days per month.

I appreciate the efforts of CU to promote various perks and options. The CU Move does motivate me to be more active.

I LOVE this app SO much, I use it every single day and it truly helps me keep in touch with my body and activity levels. The idea of getting $ from tracking keeps me very motivated, and I have a lot of fun looking at what I have tracked and accomplished each day.

The Move program helps to motivate me to get moving. Each month I check it to make sure that I am on track to move at least 30 minutes per day for 12 days. That $25 may not sound like much but it's a nice little perk! Thank you for offering this - a little motivation to get moving and be active (which is so easy to do where we live!)

I have really enjoyed using the MOVE app through the university. It really encourages me to get outside and get my steps in, which is beneficial for my health and my dog also benefits from it as she gets to go on walks! Making sure I get my steps in before the end of the month is very motivating and exciting to do!

I received an extra $75 in my last paycheck for reaching my goals on the CU Move app for the last three months. I had completely forgotten about this perk until it showed up on my paycheck. An extra $25 a month is awesome for just having an app downloaded on my phone!

I love the move app and all the incentives that some with it. Because of Move, I go on a 30 walk on my lunch break and also exercise at least 2 times per week.

I just started at CU Anschutz a couple of months ago and I am overwhelmed by the amount of amazing perks that are offered to employees! I downloaded the Move app and it was super easy to set up and navigate. I linked it to my Apple watch and I have already met my move goal for the month of February. Each month that I complete my move goal I will receive $25. What a great perk!

I just started the Move. app use. It got me to finally break down and buy an Apple watch as well. I exercise frequently so it seemed like a win-win but I think I've appreciated even more seeing more specific progress, calories burned in different scenarios, and my training zones. I love this incentive by CU. I think it is what MANY of my patients also need and the staff to get motivated to get healthier. Healthspan - not lifespan.

Amazing opportunity for passive income, up to $300 per year just for tapping start whenever you engage in any one of the MANY different forms of exercise/activity! Love it!

The Move app is great. All I have to do is open the app, select a workout, and track my activity during time in the gym to get some extra money in my paycheck. Everyone should take part in this perk if they don't already.

Getting activities counted through the Move app is pretty easy and I've been able to easily connect it with the other apps I use to track fitness. I will say that that Move app itself is not very user friendly for tracking activities. There are so many alternatives it makes it difficult to feel incentivized to use just Move, but since it connects with other apps like Strava and Apple health it is not too hard.

I love the simplicity and ease of use of the Move App. It easily motivates me and my family to log 12+ days of activity a month to stay mobile and healthy.

It is seamless and easy to use. It connects to my FitBit and this incentive encourages me to take a walk during my lunch. It is such a great perk and I'm so thankful for this program. I lost some pounds. Thank you!

It was so easy! I downloaded the CU Move App and linked my apple watch to it and my exercise automatically syncs to the app. You get $25/month added to your paycheck each quarter. The goal is very attainable and its great way to get rewarded for something you should be doing anyway!

I like it! It is a little slow to download the exercise, but it is motivating. $25 per month pays for my $17 per month gym membership so it is a win win.

I downloaded the move app and have used it to track workouts. I have not been the most consistent to be able to earn the additional pay but it is motivating! I love that we are encouraged to take care of ourselves and given the tools to do so.

This perk keeps me greatly motivated each and every month since my first month working at CU! It truly is a motivational tool to keep you moving!

It was pretty easy to use, as I just go to the gym and walk around so much already in the day to day basis. Now I am just waiting to get my first compensation for it!

I really enjoy using the Move. app. It is a great way to encourage employs to be active. I love that I am rewarded for moving my body and am encouraged by the University to stay healthy, both physically and mentally!

I love this incentive! I am very active so it is great to get rewarded for working out each month. It is easily tracked through my apple watch, so I don't have to do anything extra.

I've used the app since shortly after starting with CU. The app is pretty poorly designed, but it is functional. I think it would be cool to get a software design team to focus on the app for a month or two and make it a much more user-friendly, aesthetic app.

The app itself is simple, though not the smoothest, the ability for us to sync our own mobile tracking app helps. Better if the in-app calendar can track which day we actually achieved the goals.

I looked through CU Advantage and found the "Get paid to exercise" perk and thought it was perfect for me! I really enjoyed how easy it was to download the app and the description had instructions right there. I will be potentially utilizing this service in the future.

I love the Move App and the motivation it provides me to go out for a walk more often. As a remote employee living in another state, I sometimes feel like I lose out on a lot of the perks available to on-campus employees, so I love that this one doesn't have any physical location requirements. I often wish the app didn't require a specific watch (as I find Fitbits and Apple Watches to be rather uncomfortable), but I understand the value of the accuracy of the data.

Having the app work with my Fitbit was tricky, but the support desk was helpful and patient. It's been easy to use, and I've enjoyed this perk!
