How to Create a Fitness Challenge for Your Friends
Want to get fit with your friends, roommates, or coworkers? A little friendly competition is the best motivation. You can easily set up a challenge like the "Roommate Gym Wars" in just a few minutes.
Create Your Challenge
Navigate to "My Challenges" and select "Multiplayer Challenge". Give it a name and set a point goal (e.g., 300 points) and a win condition, like "First to Goal".
Pro Tip: Choose a fun, competitive name like "Roommate Gym Wars" or "Summer Shred Challenge" to make it more engaging!
Add Your Activities
This is where the fun begins. Add the activities you all agree on and assign points based on difficulty. For example:
- 🏋️♂️"Gym Session (60 min)" - 10 points
- 🏃♂️"Cardio Day (30 min)" - 7 points
- 🤸"Mobility Cooldown (15 min)" - 3 points
You can add any activity you want, from "Brisk Walk" to "Heavy Compound Sets".
Set the Dates
Pick a start and end date for your challenge using the date pickers. A typical challenge runs for 30-90 days, giving everyone time to build momentum while maintaining urgency.
Recommendation: Start on a Monday and end on a Sunday for clean weekly planning. Most successful challenges run 6-12 weeks.
Invite Your Friends
Once your challenge is created, go to the "Manage Players" page. Here, you can add your friends by name. This will generate a unique invite link for each person. Just copy the link and send it to them!
Your friends can click the link to join the challenge instantly—no complex setup required on their end.
Start Playing!
As everyone logs their activities, you can all watch the leaderboard in real-time to see who's pulling ahead. The competitive element keeps everyone motivated and accountable.
Don't forget to check the Calendar View to see your "wall of wins" and visualize your consistency over time!
