Start with the goal for your program.

Choose the activities and format that fit what you want the challenge to support.

    You can create these five formats in the dashboard. For Level, Marathon Event, Weight Burn, unit-conversion or charity, and Training Plans, the Vantage Fit team handles setup.

    Set up the challenge. Keep control as it runs.

    1. Choose who can take part

      Use audience rules for country, city, department, age, gender, language, or health-risk profile. Targeted challenges are private by default.

    2. Add matching employees

      Employees who match the rules are added immediately. They can choose to leave.

    3. Choose how activities count

      Phone steps can sync automatically. In Custom challenges, other tasks may use a manual log, habit check-in, content action, or upload.

    4. Recognize progress

      Use points, badges, certificates, or rewards when the challenge and account settings support them.

    Give more employees a meaningful way to take part.

    Challenges can recognize steady participation, not just the highest activity totals. Employees have more than one way to contribute.

    • Give every team a fair shot

      Average scoring helps smaller teams compete with larger teams.

    • Keep rankings private

      Employees can hide their individual rank and keep contributing to their team score.

    • Make consistency count

      In Streak challenges, employees work toward a daily target on the number of days you choose.
