> "Fitness" as a concept pertains to the "dating/relationships" market and is therefore linked to the strongest motivator ie. gettig laid.

Looking like an almost-Adonis certainly helps in the looks department, but if I cared only for vanity, then I'd be working to get myself a 6-pack.

I use a fitness app to help program and track my workouts, so that I can more steadily progress to lifting bigger weights, because it feels fantastic to get a new personal record in the gym. It was free, but a ~$5ish one-time fee unlocked a lot more 'nice things'.

I didn't need to pay for my use case, but chose to because the app showed that it was worth it. Now, I have a page of graphs that helps me estimate when I can expect to be setting a new 1rm.

some fun trivia: I've performed 693 deadlifts, and moved a total of 120,870 lbs of weight since tracking things in the app.
