Move to earn fitness apps can be described as the digitization of physical activity to advance health and wellbeing. The novel use of a technology called "move-to-earn," or M2E, encourages individuals to get up and move around.

The concept is not new, but move-to-earn applications make it simpler to get paid for exercising. Wellness initiatives supported by employers offer incentives for staying healthy.
Apps that leverage the move-to-earn principle reward users for exercising. Employees who visit the gym or complete particular wellness-related duties will receive gift cards or discounts from companies with corporate wellness programs. The payment varies and is determined by performance.
Some sites charge a fee to join, and those who accomplish a fitness goal successfully split the winnings at the end. Other websites allow participants to sync their fitness tracker, and they give points for every taken step. The latest trend in payment involves digital payment modes like e-wallets, cryptocurrencies, or the newer mode - NFT.

These virtual tokens stand for resources that might increase in value independently of the user's involvement in any move to earn the app. Most of the apps that engage in NFT only allow those accounts that have made any prior NFT purchase. Token owners can exchange their NFTs for cryptocurrencies or sell them for fiat money through third-party exchanges.
