The problem
Most step challenges lose momentum in week one. Early leaders pull ahead, casual walkers disengage, and participation drops before the challenge ends.

Step challenge questions
Bring your headcount and calendar to the demo and we will map the right format.
Talk to a program specialist →Steps sync automatically from the phone through the Vantage Fit activity tracker on iOS and Android. No wearable is needed. Apple Watch, Fitbit and Garmin can be connected if employees already own one, and they only add accuracy.
Yes. Team score is the average of member scores, so a small consistent team can beat a large team carrying inactive seats.
Caps flag anomalies at 10,000 steps an hour, 50,000 a day and 18 hours of continuous activity, with trusted-source filtering on top. Only activity that passes those checks earns points.
Yes. Audience rules target by country, each participant gets a full local day so a global challenge closes fairly everywhere, and average-based team scoring means teams of different sizes still compete evenly.
Completing tasks, hitting milestones and earning badges all issue points, which redeem for gift cards priced in the employee local currency. Badges and certificates issue automatically alongside.
No. Target a single department, country or age band. Targeted challenges are private by default, so a pilot is not visible to the rest of the company.
Vantage Fit is sold on one paid plan at $1.00 per user per month. The pricing page sets out what is included and what needs an annual plan.
