Q: Can I join on my own?

Yes! Absolutely. We created GoJoe to motivate and inspire people to exercise, through the power of the team. Whether you are entering on your own or with others, this challenge (and GoJoe) is all about motivating and inspiring people to get moving in a fun way, even though the exercise is on your own.

Question 1

Is this a step challenge?

Accepted Answer

No. GoJoe is an activity-based app involving planned or set activities (walks, runs, cycles or swims) which are measured in kilometres. It is not about steps. This is intentional to encourage movement in the form of an actual walk or run (for example) rather than tracking routine steps. The benefits of a planned activity include helping to clear the mind rather than focussing on tracking boring steps from the sofa to the fridge!

Question 2

What will happen during the challenge?

Accepted Answer

You have a choice as to whether to join Team Jordynn, or Team Rest of the World.  Whichever team you choose, you'll be automatically entered into the private challenge chat room, where you can chat with others in the challenge, give and receive encouragement and share content and photos (including with Jordynn herself).   Once you've entered your team, from 17 January 2022, every km you log to the GoJoe app (details on how to do this are below) will count towards your team, whether a run, walk, cycle or swim.  The activities are 'weighted', so that - for example - swimmers are not disadvantaged (it's easier to cycle a long way than swim a long way!), and you'll rack up points.  The team with the most-points wins.

Question 3

How does the scoring work?

Accepted Answer

This challenge is a 'most points' challenge - the kms you do generate points which count for the team.    To level the playing field, the activities are weighted so that you earn points as follows: Walks: 1km (0.62 miles) = 1 point; Runs: 1km (0.62 miles) = 1 point; Cycles: 3km (1.86 miles) = 1 point; Swims: 250m (0.15 miles) = 1 point.

Question 4

Can I join on my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Absolutely. ​ We created GoJoe to motivate and inspire people to exercise, through the power of the team.  Whether you are entering on your own or with others, this challenge (and GoJoe) is all about motivating and inspiring people to get moving in a fun way, even though the exercise is on your own.

Question 5

How do I log activities?

Accepted Answer

You can log kms by either: (1) syncing a wearable (Garmin, Fitbit, Apple Watch, Suunto or Polar) to the GoJoe app; (2) use GoJoe's in-app GPS tracker; or (3) manually adding the activities to the challenge (but beware we have ways and means of identifying cheaters!).

Question 6

What if I have another question or need help?

Accepted Answer

You can email help@gojoe.com or use the live chat on our website or in-app.
