StepSmash has always been built around the idea that exercise is more fun when other people are involved.
Friends. Family. Coworkers. That one person who runs a marathon every weekend and wins every step race they join.
We love the energy.
But sometimes you want a goal that belongs entirely to you. No invitations to send. No leaderboard to check. No learning, at 9:47 p.m. on Sunday, that your cousin apparently spent the entire weekend crossing a mountain range.
Sometimes you want to pick a goal, get moving, and see where you end up.
So we built Personal Challenges.
A challenge of your very own
Choose your challenge, track your workouts, and watch your progress add up as activity syncs from your connected fitness platform. Reach the goal before the deadline and the badge is yours.
Your active challenges appear on the home screen and in the Challenges hub, so you can follow your progress throughout the month. StepSmash shows what you need to average each day to finish, celebrates your progress, and cheers you on when you catch up. Taking the long way home is starting to look like an excellent idea.
Of course your dog can join you
You didn’t think we’d let you compete with your dog in Smash Bingo and leave it at that, did you?
The monthly Zoomies challenge gives you and your dog a reason to take the long way home. Connect FitBark and work toward a distance goal together.
This makes you a tiny fitness team with one member responsible for operating the technology and another whose primary responsibilities include enthusiasm, sniffing things, and walking directly across your path.
For the badge collectors
Choosing a challenge because you want the badge is a perfectly good strategy. Each month’s badges have a unique combination of colors, so there’s always something new to collect. If you find yourself heading out for another walk to get a little closer to earning one, welcome to the club.
Available now
Everyone can join one Personal Challenge at a time for free.
StepSmash+ members can join as many challenges as they like. You can work toward a running badge while your dog helps you earn another.
Personal Challenges are available now in the latest version of StepSmash.
Open the Challenges tab and pick something that sounds fun. We’ll see you at the finish line.
Note: Personal Challenges require the latest version of StepSmash. Update the app if you do not see them yet, or download StepSmash from the App Store or Google Play to get started.
