Next-Generation Fitness App W3:Ride Will Pay Users to Be Active and Convert Biking Energy to Real-Life Rewards
Dec 4, 2022
ZUG, Switzerland - December 4, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The W3:Ride app tracks details from any smartphone, Fitbit, Garmin, or smartwatch and automatically rewards a user's commutes, weekend rides or exercises.
Creative director and Co-Founder Thomas Pomarelle explains that W3:Ride's goals have always been to build an app that rewards users to get outside and explore the physical world, instead of being glued to a screen. "Cycling is a great way to explore your town, get fit and have fun with your friends, family, and community," Thomas adds.
Digital Rewards
The W3:Ride marketplace will include a rotating selection of products from its exclusive brand partnerships. Launching the marketplace, the app offers its users gift cards ranging from $5−10, redeemable in stores such as Starbucks, Amazon, Nike, Adidas, REI and more.
"The ability to convert your cycling efforts into physical products is a completely new experience for every rider out there," former pro cyclist and Co-Founder Thomas Wagner adds.
This new type of marketplace is made possible by utilizing new mobile first approaches to web3 technology. The app's development studio, Nexus Cognitive was brought in to create a web3 app that everyone could use. Andy Nardo, CTO of Nexus Cognitive explains that his team's goal has always been to make blockchain technology frictionless to the everyday user. W3:Rides digital marketplace will allow any user to begin collecting their first digital assets and collectibles with a simple press of a button.
BYOB: Bring your own Bike
Doing away with monthly fitness subscriptions, W3:Ride only requires the use of a rider's virtual bike. Upon account creation, each user receives a free virtual bike to begin collecting points for spending time on a real-world bicycle. And that's part of the brands philosophy: allow everyone free access to a new experience of cycling with a reward system and marketplace powered by a cycling economy.
The app is available to download in the Apple App Store or via Google Play.
