Team challenges your whole workforce will actually join

A workplace fitness challenge, also called a corporate wellness challenge, is a team-based activity competition that an employer runs for its people over a set period, usually 2 to 6 weeks. Employees join teams, log activity and climb shared leaderboards toward a common goal.

On GoJoe, every one of 80+ activity types earns weighted points, so walkers, swimmers, cyclists and gym-goers compete on equal terms.

You can run a GoJoe team challenge in four steps:

1. Set it up in the GoJoe Performance Hub: pick a theme or route, teams, leaderboards, dates and scoring.
2. Invite your people with ready-made, brandable email, poster, intranet and social templates.
3. Run it live, watching participation by team, site and region and posting updates as you go.
4. Share the results when it ends, then plan the next one.

You can run it yourself, or have GoJoe run it for you.

A GoJoe Challenge One-off is priced per person, per challenge, and the rate falls as your population grows. As an indicative guide, a challenge for 2,000 people costs about $6.36 per person, and the rate drops to about $2.10 per person at 20,000 people.

Standard plans have no setup fee. Use the calculator on this page for your own estimate, or send us your details for an exact quote.

Most workplace challenges run for 2 to 6 weeks. That is long enough to build a habit and short enough to keep energy high.

A GoJoe Challenge One-off includes around 8 weeks of platform access, so you have time to launch, run and review. Employers who want challenges all year move to the GoJoe Platform, which includes unlimited challenges.

GoJoe counts 80+ activity types, not just steps. These include:

• Walking, running and hiking
• Cycling, spin and rowing
• Swimming
• Yoga, Pilates and gym workouts
• Team and racket sports

Each activity earns weighted points, so a 30-minute swim and a 30-minute walk both count fairly.

Count more than steps. Step-only challenges reward people who already walk a lot and leave out swimmers, cyclists and anyone who cannot easily rack up steps.

GoJoe uses weighted points across 80+ activity types, works with or without a wearable, and lets people log manually, so every fitness level, role and location can compete on equal terms.

GoJoe syncs with all major wearables and apps, including Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Google Fit and Samsung Health.

Employees without a wearable can use the built-in GPS tracker in the GoJoe app or log activity manually, so nobody is left out.

Make it social, make it fair and make it easy to join. Teams, live leaderboards, route maps and team chat give people a reason to come back, and weighted points mean everyone can contribute.

GoJoe achieves 80-90% average engagement in organizational challenges, according to GoJoe platform data. GoJoe averages more than 50% participation, against an industry norm of fewer than one in three.

Team challenges get inactive people moving and bring colleagues closer together. Results from GoJoe platform data and user surveys:

• Three in four previously inactive GoJoe users exceed WHO weekly physical activity guidelines during a challenge.
• Previously sedentary GoJoe users increase their exercise levels by 400% during a challenge (2024).
• More than 82% of employees feel more socially connected after using GoJoe.
