Five formats

One goal. Five ways to run it.

Every workforce competes differently. Pick the format that fits yours, or run several at once: challenges stack without limit, and a single walk counts toward every challenge it matches.

Race

No targets, no setup debates. Everyone climbs the same live leaderboard, and the most steps win.

Best foryour first challenge, 2 to 4 weeks

Streak

A daily step goal, scored by days completed. Miss a day and the streak resets, so showing up beats sprinting.

Best forhabit building, e.g. 8,000 steps on 4 days a week

Journey

Walk a themed route together. Milestones unlock on a visual map, with three ready-made journeys: 7 Wonders, Backpacking Europe, Everest Run.

Best forteams that want a story, 4 to 8 weeks

E-Marathon

Steps become distance, 1,000 steps to the kilometer, in km or miles. A finish line your whole company can cross from anywhere.

Best forone-day events and global offices

Custom

Multi-week themes with steps at the core and 27 task types around them: hydration, mindfulness, sleep. The format most clients settle into.

Best formonth-long programs with variety

All five are self-serve from the admin dashboard. Team mode, points, and certificates work in every format.

For employees

Joining is automatic. Staying is the point.

Most step challenges are won by the same five people while everyone else quietly stops opening the app. Vantage Fit is designed against that.

Enrollment without a signup drive

Audience rules add a department, a region, or the whole company automatically. New hires who match are enrolled when they become active.

Any phone counts

Apple Health on iPhone, Google Fit on Android, and direct Fitbit and Garmin connections. Apple Watch, Samsung, and 70+ tracking apps sync through. No wearable required.

Teams score by average, not total

A team of 5 that averages 80 beats a team of 10 that averages 70. Small teams compete, and every member's effort moves the number.

Progress from the first 3,000 steps

The badge ladder starts at 3,000 steps a day, with streak and milestone badges that reward consistency, not podiums.

Private by choice

A leaderboard opt-out keeps points and team contribution while hiding the name. Wheelchair mode is built in. Mood and health logs are never public.

Rewards that feel local

Points become gift cards in each employee's currency and market, from one wallet shared with Vantage Circle recognition.

Data integrity

Leaderboards your skeptics can audit.

One impossible number at the top kills a challenge faster than low turnout. Vantage Fit filters the data before winners are ever named.

Trusted sources only

Steps are accepted from recognized apps and devices. Anything from an unrecognized source is rejected.

One device at a time

Each person has one primary step source. Connecting a new device disconnects the old one, so nothing double-counts.

Anomaly and GPS checks

Implausible spikes are filtered. GPS workouts are validated for realistic pace, and vehicle movement stops the workout.

A 3-day results buffer

Wearables sync late. Winners are confirmed only after a 3-day post-challenge window, so final standings hold up.

Manual step entry stays off unless your company chooses to enable it.

For HR teams

Launch in minutes. Run it without babysitting.

The whole lifecycle lives in one dashboard: create, enroll, nudge, and report, without a spreadsheet in sight.

  • A wizard, not a project

    Name it, set dates, pick the format. Help docs put the whole flow at 5 to 10 minutes, and templates ship with tasks and scoring preset.

  • Audience rules with a live count

    Target by country, city, department, gender, age, language, or health-risk band, and see how many employees match before you publish.

  • Comms on autopilot

    Enrollment, start, weekly progress, and completion emails send themselves. Push notifications go out from the challenge page when you want a nudge.

  • Fair across every time zone

    Start, end, and the daily reset land at each participant's local midnight. One challenge covers New York to Singapore.
