Why Weekly Challenges Work

A 7-day format keeps everyone engaged with achievable milestones, weekend push potential, and fresh starts every week.

Weekly Resets

Every week is a brand-new race. One tough day won't ruin your chances to claim 1st place on the podium.

Manual Step Filtering

Fair competition guaranteed. Typed steps in health apps are automatically excluded from the board.

Daily Activity Rings

Close your Move, Exercise, and Stand rings each day with fluid visual feedback on iOS and Android.

Live Standings

Real-time background sync updates positions as everyone walks throughout the week.

In-App Cheer & Chat

Motivate friends directly inside your private challenge group with custom reactions and cheers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hosting weekly step challenges.

How does a weekly step challenge work?

You create a 7-day challenge window or set recurring weekly cycles. Participants join via a 4-letter group code or link, sync Apple Health or Google Health Connect, and compete on a live weekly leaderboard.

Why are 7-day weekly challenges effective?

Weekly sprints keep urgency high from Monday morning to Sunday evening. Even if someone falls behind one week, the leaderboard resets fresh each week so everyone always has a chance to win.

Can iPhone and Android participants compete together?

Yes. Fitness Challenge features full cross-platform parity. iPhone users sync with Apple Health and Android users sync with Google Health Connect.

Does the app filter out manually entered steps?

Yes. Manual step filtering automatically excludes manually entered steps from health apps so only steps tracked normally by your phone or watch count toward the weekly board.
