Gym-Pact – The unmistakable allure of splashing out on an expensive gym membership is something many of us just can’t resist, with the opportunity to transform from Mr.Measly to Mr.Muscle too good to pass up.

And that’s where Gym-Pact.com comes in, ensuring that the couch potato in you will remain firmly locked away until after you’ve been to the gym!

Routine Tap – Ever felt like you need a bit of help to reach those goals you set yourself at the beginning of the year? Do you really not have the time to learn that second language, or could you fit it in if your life was more organized?
Routine Tap – a free web application – helps you answer those questions; providing you with reports on your life, daily habits and routines, so you can see exactly how you’re spending your time. To get the best out of it, you need to set up a mini survey covering goals you want to achieve (losing weight for example), and then spend a couple of minutes each day answering a couple of questions to tell the clever Routine Tap computers about how you’re spending your time. It’s quick, easy to do and could potentially ‘enhance your life’! Click on the preview below, or here, to ‘track your habits’ today!
Now I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely not the only average Joe who made a New Years’ Resolution this year, and doesn’t actually believe they’re going to keep it! Stickk knows guys and girls like us… and it loves us! It’s basically a helpful planner to help you stick to a commitment you’ve decided to make, whether it be to quit smoking, lose weight (or gain it), or even to give time volunteering.
The clever part however, is what comes after you select your commitment. You get support through a referee and support from friends, and then set the stakes for failing to meet your commitment. This can be anything from giving money to a friend or foe, a random charity, or even donating to a non-profit you hate… What better motivation to keep to your New Years Resolution than to know that you’ll have to give money to the George W. Bush Presidential Library if you fail!? Click here or the pic below to find out more!

Fed up of online classes? Watching virtual people and ridiculous glossy videos, and not being able to ask question or get a personal answer when you don’t understand something? Well, so are the makers of Skillshare!
The site is pretty much an online noticeboard, telling you about classes being put on in your local area (although so far the only way to get listings for places not in the USA is to ‘vote’ for it to be expanded to your area…). And there really are classes about anything, from how to live in New York City rent free, to how to develop your own website. If you think you’re able to teach skills that you have, you can sign up and list your class on the site too. It’s a great idea, we really like it here at All My Faves. To learn more, watch the video below, or click here to share some skills!
Well folks, the nominees have been announced. Amid a flurry of elbowing, scheming and shadowy wealthy donors (not really, that was an attempt at a joke), the candidates have jumped every hurdle and secured enough votes in the primaries to make it onto the Official Longlist for the 5th Annual All My Faves Site of the Year Awards.
