Fitness Challenge

Great for Improved Activity, Team Building, LOT'S of FUN!

Are you ready to take your daily fitness goals to the next level?

The STEPPI Fitness Challenge is designed to "inspire consistency, motivation, and friendly competition - one goal at a time!" Participants track daily activity through steps, active minutes, or exercise sessions, with individual achievements contributing to team scores and leaderboard rankings.

"This challenge isn't just about movement - it's about creating healthy habits, supporting your teammates, and celebrating progress together."

How does the STEPPI Fitness Challenge work?

Participants join teams where individual goal completions add points to the team's total score. Each participant works towards a daily fitness goal through:

• Steps – reaching your daily step target

• Active Minutes – movement tracked via wearable device

• Exercise/Workout Minutes – manually logged workouts in the STEPPI app

Fitness Challenge Leaderboards

The challenge features four leaderboard types:

1. Top 10 Animated Leaderboard: Shows the top 10 teams' positions

2. Challenge Overview: Displays team count, total steps, dates, and ranked team list

3. Team Leaderboard: Individual positions within your team

4. Personal Leaderboard: Your progress including total steps, daily average, goals achieved, and daily activity

How the Leaderboard Formula Works

The leaderboard ranks teams based on "daily goal completions and participation rates, rewarding consistency and teamwork."

1. Daily Score Formula

*Daily Score = (Goal Completions / Total Participants) × 100*

"If every team member completes their goal, the team earns 100 points for that day. If half the team meets the goal, they earn 50 points, and so on."

Example: If 300 out of 300 participants complete their goal, the team's score = (300 ÷ 300) × 100 = 100 points

2. Challenge Score Formula

Challenge Score = Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3 + …

Teams are ranked according to their total challenge score from highest to lowest.

3. Tie-Breaker: Participation Score

*Participation Score = (Total Active Participants / Group Size) × 100*

"The team with the higher participation score ranks higher in the event of a draw."

Example: Both Emaar and DEWA had 300 challenge points after Day 3. Emaar's participation score (199) exceeded DEWA's (182), so Emaar ranked 1st.
