Sounds a bit similar to Pru Vitality which I used to have through work as our health insurance scheme. Benefits included free cinema tickets but also discounts of trainers, bicycles, gym membership etc, and the more exercise you do the bigger the discounts get. I saved £100 on trainer and £150 on a bike in 2 years on the scheme. Several people joined local gyms, I did a few extra runs to make sure I hit my targets. Worked pretty well IMO

I have vitality health insurance and it does exactly this.

I get a cinema ticket each week and a free starbucks,

have also gotten an apple watch for £100, £250 off a new bike, half price gym membership and half price trainers - could also get 30/40% off a Garmin but I already have those.

All for doing exercise I was going to do anyway.

NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens should have said, "And you thought the NHS was running out of ideas for wasting your money!"
