Gym Attendance Data from a Randomized Field Experiment on Reminders

A dataset from a randomized field experiment analyzing the effects of reminders and feedback on gym attendance. The study was conducted by Mattia Nardotto of KU Leuven. It shows that simple weekly reminders can substantially increase physical exercise levels.

Use Cases

• Modeling the effect of reminders on gym attendance based on the experimental design
• Analyzing mental accounting in user responses to informational stimuli as described
• Studying limited attention as a factor in investment activities with delayed benefits
• Evaluating cost-effective alternatives to monetary incentives for promoting healthy behavior

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized field experiment, which suggests a strong causal inference design.
• The description provides a clear theoretical and empirical analysis framework for the results.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
