IRL you can't link objective complete to rewards automatically, it requires human eval. which is too expensive.

Not necessarily, you could trust the accuracy of an activity tracker like fitbit, garmin, etc. Or the user could submit photo/video proof voted on by users. I think the more difficult side of the problem is consistently providing a reward that is valuable to he user.
