Vantage Fit turns daily steps into friendly competition with real rewards. Steps sync automatically from the phones and wearables your people already carry — and every walk shows up in reporting HR can stand behind.
A launch-day spike, a quiet leaderboard by week two, and a participation number you'd rather not present. It isn't motivation that's missing — it's mechanics.
If joining means installing a pedometer app and typing in totals, most of the company opts out by day three.
When only raw step totals count, your marathoners dominate and everyone else stops checking the leaderboard.
One bad day shouldn't end someone's challenge. Without streaks, milestones, and rewards, it does.
A screenshot of a spreadsheet isn't a result. Leadership asks who participated and what changed — and the answer is usually a shrug.
Every one of these is a design problem. Vantage Fit's step challenges are built around the fixes: automatic tracking, fair scoring, real rewards, and reporting that holds up in a leadership review.
Start from a ready-made template — format, targets, and scoring pre-set — or configure your own. Every format syncs steps automatically, scores in real time, and supports teams.
The classic: a straight step-count showdown on a live leaderboard. No targets, no tasks — just total steps. The fastest way to get a whole company moving.
Best for: a first challenge or company-wide energizer
Everyone chases the same daily step target and fights to keep their streak alive. Miss a day and the streak resets — rankings count total days completed, so a slip never ends the game.
Best for: building a daily walking habit
Steps move individuals or teams along a virtual map — the 7 Wonders of the World, Backpacking Europe, or an Everest climb — earning points at every milestone.
Best for: storytelling and themed campaigns
Steps convert to distance on the leaderboard — 1,000 steps to a kilometer by default, your ratio, your units. A marathon everyone in the company can enter.
Best for: event-style pushes with a finish line
Weekly themes with any mix of 27 task types — steps, distance, active minutes, water, sleep, meditation, and more. The format most long-running programs grow into.
Best for: keeping engagement past week two
No limit on concurrent challenges, and one walk counts toward every challenge an employee joins — each with its own leaderboard, points, and audience.
Best for: regions, departments, and squads at once
Four mechanics, working together, that keep a challenge alive after the launch-day buzz wears off.
Steps sync themselves. No manual entry, no extra hardware to buy or distribute.
Designed so the middle of the leaderboard still has a reason to walk.
Effort converts to points in real time — and points convert to things people actually want.
Only three people podium. Everyone else still needs a reason — so progress itself gets recognized.
You shouldn't need a wellness coordinator to run a wellness challenge. Templates carry the configuration; the dashboard carries the proof.
Pre-built challenges ship with format, targets, scoring, and weekly themes set. Choose dates and audience, and go live — a steps-only race can launch in 1–2 days.
Target by department, country, age group, or language. Enroll automatically or bulk-upload a CSV. Run separate challenges for regions or business units at the same time.
Starts, ends, and daily resets localize to each participant's midnight — a 30-day challenge is 30 true days everywhere. Rewards set in USD display in local currency.
Edit dates, themes, and tasks mid-challenge; send push notifications to participants; export the leaderboard to CSV any time.
Named outcomes from step challenges and walkathons run on Vantage Fit.
participation in a 14-day walkathon — 51,000+ steps per employee on average.
engagement in the "Step It Up!" walkathon — average step counts rose 19% in the final two weeks.
engagement across a 3-week step challenge — 1.49M steps and 1,500+ km logged.
steps logged by 1,100+ employees in the 5-week "Healthy Me" campaign.
Results from published Vantage Fit customer case studies. Engagement and participation figures are as reported by each customer's program.
A step challenge touches every employee's phone — so security, privacy, and residency are part of the product, not an appendix.
SOC 2 Type II compliant, with GDPR, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 practices. Documentation available during evaluation.
Employee data stays in its assigned region — US, EU, India, or UAE. Nothing moves across borders.
SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin, or Ping. HRIS and SFTP provisioning keep rosters in sync.
Admins see aggregate metrics — never individual health profiles. Leaderboard opt-out is built in, and employee data is never sold or shared for advertising.
No. iPhones and Android phones count steps on their own through Apple Health and Google Fit, so anyone with a smartphone can join. Employees who have them can connect Fitbit or Garmin directly, and Apple Watch plus most popular bands sync through Apple Health. One primary device is active at a time, so steps never double-count.
Yes — that's the default, not a special case. Start dates, end dates, and daily resets localize to each participant's midnight, so a 30-day challenge is 30 true calendar days for everyone. Rewards configured in USD display in each employee's local currency with a country-relevant gift-card catalogue.
Add teams to Streak, Journey, or Custom challenges. Team scores are the average of members' effort — not the sum — so every person's steps matter and a small squad of power walkers can't dominate. Create teams in the dashboard, bulk-upload them via CSV, or let employees form their own. A separate team leaderboard runs alongside the individual one.
Pre-built templates carry the format, targets, scoring, and weekly themes — you set the dates, audience, and rewards. Most teams launch in days; a steps-only race with CSV enrollment can go live in 1–2 days.
The admin dashboard tracks participation rate, active users, and team rankings live. After the challenge, export the leaderboard (weekly or overall, by department), a participation report with one row per enrolled employee, and a full points transaction ledger for reward-budget reconciliation — all as CSVs.
Step data only counts from trusted sources — phone sensors and connected wearables, not manual entries. Daily and hourly step caps flag inhuman totals, and admins can inspect suspicious activity. A 3-day sync buffer after the end date lets late wearable syncs count before winners are finalized.
