How it works
How to run a step challenge at work
Choose a format, set the dates, and invite your people. Each person sets a goal and syncs steps from a phone or tracker. On Coached and Annual, your Success Coach handles setup, comms and the daily running of it. Challenges run for 7, 14 or 28 days. Most teams choose 28 days (4 weeks).
How it works
Six steps, from invite to medals
Pick your challenge
Go for Gold, Leave No One Behind, Charity Challenge and more. On Coached, we match the format to your culture, set up the teams and write the launch comms.
Set a goal that fits
Every teammate picks a personal daily goal. Lunchtime strolls and marathon training both count, and progress shows as a percentage so nobody is judged on raw numbers.
Move as one team
Steps sync automatically from the phone or tracker people already have. Every walk and run pushes the whole team forward.
Chat, cheer, repeat
Team chat, stories and shout-outs bring the banter. On Coached and Annual, a real Success Coach keeps energy high with tips, check-ins and celebrations.
Race for the top spot
Live leaderboards, medals and company-wide progress keep everyone playing to the final day. On Coached and Annual, you then get the full impact report.

How do you run a step challenge at work?
Set a date, invite the team, and let each person join with a personal goal that syncs from their phone or tracker. On Coached and Annual, your Success Coach handles setup, comms and the daily running of it.
How much time does it take to run?
On Coached and Annual, most HR teams spend under 30 minutes in total. We set up everything, including teams, mascots and messaging, and provide ready-made launch comms. You approve, announce and watch it run.
How quickly can you get this up and running?
Once you're signed up we can move fast, or work to your timeline. We typically recommend leaving a few weeks before the challenge starts so we can help you drive sign-up rates and get everyone onboarded and excited.
Do employees need fitness trackers?
No. The GoChallenge app connects to most phones via free apps like Google Fit, Fitbit or Apple Health. People with wearables such as Garmin or Fitbit can sync them; everyone else can track steps using their phone's sensors.
Can we customise it to our culture or brand?
Yes. You can add your logo to the app and comms, shape messaging around your company's values and more. The goal is for it to feel like yours, not another external app.
How do we measure impact?
Coached and Annual include an impact report at the end of each challenge, with metrics on activity levels, team connection and wellbeing sentiment, plus fun highlights and content from the whole challenge.
What support do managers get?
On Coached and Annual, your Success Coach is there every step of the way. We send simple toolkits with short comms, mini challenges and recognition ideas so managers can motivate without extra workload.
