Challenge Description

Grab a partner and get moving! Partners in Fitness is a team-based challenge that brings coworkers together to walk, run, and cheer each other on as they work toward a shared movement goal.

Participants team up to track their daily steps through walking and running activities, whether they're squeezing in a lunchtime walk, starting the day with a jog, or finding little ways to move more throughout the week. Every step counts toward the team total, helping each partnership stay motivated and make progress together.

Progress can be tracked through synced devices or manual entry, making it easy for partners to see how they're doing and keep the momentum going. A live leaderboard adds some friendly competition as teams climb the ranks and push each other to finish strong.
