## Your employees are unique, and so are their fitness goals.

Clients often ask us how to run a challenge that works for a group of users with a wide range of fitness levels and abilities. A challenge goal should be just challenging enough to engage your most active users, while still being attainable for your less active users. A bit of competition can be motivating, but too much comparison can discourage participants from striving to achieve their personal best. Sometimes one overall challenge goal just can’t accommodate everyone.

### Our solution? Let your employees set their own, personalized goals in your next challenge!

With our latest update, admins have the ability to allow users to set their own challenge goals from within an admin-specified goal range. Personalized goals are compatible with three challenge modes: Streak, Stick to It, and Target.

![image-02.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1641591787/blog/image_02_94405ff66e.jpg)

## Great for groups of varying fitness levels

Personal goals allow you to build a more inclusive challenge that accommodates a wider range of abilities. Instead of setting one goal for every challenge participant, now each user can determine an appropriate goal for their activity level. 

For an employee who consistently runs 5 miles every morning or hits the gym each night after work, reaching 7,000 steps a day might not be particularly challenging. For someone who is just starting out on their fitness journey and spends a lot of their day sitting at their desk, trying to find the time to reach 7,000 steps might be too much of a stretch.

A one-size-fits-all approach can run the risk of disengaging both sets of employees. Put your employees in charge of their own fitness by letting them select the goal that works for them. 

## Set a range for goals to fall within

Personalized goals are compatible with three challenge modes:

- Streak: Users aim to reach the same daily goal every day of your challenge.
- Stick to It: Users aim to reach the same daily goal a set number of times during your challenge.
- Target: Users aim to reach a large, total activity goal by challenge end.

Once you’ve chosen your challenge mode, select your activity metric (steps, distance, or active minutes). Then, set a range for participant goals to fall within. This range reflects the minimum and maximum-effort option for your challenge to accommodate a variety of fitness levels. From the range provided, your employees can set a realistic goal that works best for them.

![image-03.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1641591862/blog/image_03_77b87b2d67.jpg)

**Pro tip:** If you’re not sure what range to set, look at the data from your previous challenges to see what your participants typically achieve. Or, use our suggested [goal ranges](http://help.movespring.com/en/articles/5745854-how-to-set-a-range-for-a-personalized-goal).

## Participants can set their own goal and track their progress.

Once participants join the challenge, they will be prompted to enter a goal that falls within the range you specified when creating the challenge. This allows participants to select a goal that works for them—regardless of their fitness level.

![image-04.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1641591894/blog/image_04_0808bad078.jpg)

Once the challenge starts, each participant will be able to track their own progress towards their personalized goal. They’ll also be able to view the progress of the other challenge participants as they work towards their individualized goals. Everyone will be scored based on the personalized goal they set.

![image-05.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1641591927/blog/image_05_494bcea1b5.jpg)

### With a personalized goal challenge, participants compete at a pace that works for them.

Regardless of their personalized goal, participants can view each other’s progress and cheer each other on as they work toward their individual goals. As a program administrator, you can embrace each participant’s unique needs and level the playing field with personalized goals.

Workplace Health and Wellness Calendar 2022

The new year creates an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to focus on personal goals. Many clients run activity challenges at the beginning of the year to help their employees prioritize health in the new year.

However, New Year's resolutions rarely stick. Roughly 8% of Americans who set New Year's goals actually achieve them. In fact, 80% of people abandon their New Year's resolutions by February.* 

## This year, help your employees reach their goals by focusing on resilience. Our Climb to the Top challenge explores grit, overcoming fear, and taking risks.

Encourage your employees to dream big and take the risks needed to overcome life's challenges. Help them understand that failure is part of the journey to success, and that periodic stumbles shouldn't keep them from reaching their goals.

This challenge embraces the messiness of adversity. As participants move in real life, they will virtually progress up a mountainside. Along the way, they will unlock motivating content that provides encouragement and discover tools to help them reach their goals, even if they stumble.

Climb to the Top is a fun way to kick off the new year. However, building resilience can be a focus at any time during the year. Incorporate a Climb to the Top challenge in your annual program by following this guide.

Help your employees become more resilient in the new year

## Building on our latest Virtual Race [updates](https://movespring.com/blog/virtual-race-run-walk-event-mode-72), we are excited to announce the ability for all clients to fully customize a Virtual Race challenge right from the MoveSpring Admin Center.

Clients of all plan types can customize their map, milestones, and more in our new Racetrack Creator. 

Previously, we offered clients the option to customize their map and milestones for a fee. Over the past few years, the enthusiasm and demand for customized virtual races has quickly grown. We find that clients who customize their Virtual Race often have higher participation, engagement, and overall satisfaction with their challenge experience. We wanted to bring this opportunity to every client, without the extra cost. 

## Now, every client has the ability to customize the map, milestones, and more in our Virtual Race mode—at no additional cost.

![Main Image 02.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1633984481/blog/Main_Image_02_effaeb4c89.png)


## How it works
We built our Racetrack Creator tool to be flexible. Keep it simple by customizing milestones for our existing maps. Or, upload your own map, with the option to include milestones.

### Access the tool from the Challenges section of the Admin Center
Then, click on the “Custom racetracks” tab at the top of the page.

![1. Navigate to creator.gif](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1633984606/blog/1_Navigate_to_creator_41c1b93931.gif)


### Use a MoveSpring map and customize your milestones.
Select from our [entire library](http://help.movespring.com/en/articles/4201968-guide-to-virtual-race-themes) of existing virtual race maps. Then, upload your own milestone content.

![3. Create milestone.gif](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1633984609/blog/3_Create_milestone_6f041bc9e2.gif)


### Or, upload your own custom map for a fully branded challenge experience.

![6. Create challenge.gif](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1633984608/blog/6_Create_challenge_f6b570e40a.gif)


## Tap into your creative side and build a personalized challenge experience
Try some of these fun ideas to customize your next Virtual Race challenge.

### Feature celebrity shoutouts on Cameo
Check out [Cameo ](https://www.cameo.com)to feature inspiring or silly shout-outs from your employees’ favorite celebrities and athletes. Use these videos in your milestones to make the challenge extra special.

### Share motivational messages from leadership
Have your top leadership record a quick, motivational video message right from their phone, then add the videos to your milestones.

### Inspire with videos from around the web
Pick a theme for your map, then find educational or entertaining videos on YouTube that go deeper on specific aspects of your theme. For example, our *Climb to the Top* racetrack takes participants up a mountain while exploring the theme of overcoming challenges. While the users move in real life, they progress up the mountain and unlock milestones about grit, setting goals, and [taking risks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6A7kLf-cfw).

### Reward and recognize employees
Use milestones to reward and celebrate your employees. Reward employees with things like additional PTO days or a free UberEats lunch. Try recognizing or highlighting random employees in the milestones to celebrate top performers, birthdays, or to get to know new employees.

### Get in the seasonal spirit
Get in the seasonal spirit by creating racetracks for upcoming seasons or holidays. Customize the milestones in our spring, summer, fall, winter, or holiday maps. Upload your own map for an event that is specific to your organization. 

### Take a global office tour
Bring your remote workforce together with a custom racetrack that travels to all your offices across the country or world. Each milestone can feature a video or fun fact about a different office.

### Use free stock photos for a fast custom map
Download a series of photos from [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com) or [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) to quickly create a high-quality custom map.

Customize your next Virtual Race challenge

So you've decided to run a corporate step challenge and need some great prize ideas to go along with it. You've come to the right place! 

We'll be covering 70 prize ideas for any budget to help you find the right rewards for your company step challenge.  Incentivizing with rewards and prizes is a great way to motivate your participants to do their best and have some fun.

After years of running challenges for companies of all sizes at MoveSpring, we've discovered 4 key points about rewarding and employee recognition:

 - Rewards can help to drive engagement.
 - Rewards work best when they are customized & thoughtful.
 - Rewards should be available to more than just the top steppers.
 - Rewards can fit any budget!

Rewards are a cornerstone of a successful wellness program and can incentivize habit change and health engagement. While the saying goes "cash is king", prizes actually work best when they're uniquely curated to your challenge theme or organization itself! When you take the time to reward participants based on their interests and goals, it helps to foster appreciation between employer and employees. 

If you're feeling worried that you don't have a large budget to spend on prizes, no sweat! You can show recognition to your participants with any budget. Really!

![prize-ideas-4.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1634073064/blog/prize_ideas_4_00d8246f7a.jpg)

In this blog post, we'll be covering creative ways to reward your participants that go beyond recognizing top steppers. In addition, you'll find our favorite 70 prize ideas for a corporate step challenge broken down by category and budget.

If you're ready to create a reward strategy for your challenge that ensures participants are engaged, excited, and ultimately more active, read on!


## Rewards: The Basics


Let's start off with the basics. When creating a reward strategy for your company step challenge, you'll want to decide on a couple of key points upfront:

### What's your overall budget & how many prizes will you be offering?

Budget is a big thing to consider starting out. By identifying your total allocated budget, you'll be better prepared to figure out what kinds of prizes you can offer for your step challenge!  If you're only running one challenge, we recommend offering around 5-10 different prizes for participants to win. If you're running company step challenges often, 2-3 prizes should be enough per challenge to keep competition and excitement high. Keep in mind, prize number recommendations might vary based on the size of your organization.

With the prizes we've listed below, we're sure you'll find some great options, no matter what your budget may be.

### How will you structure your rewards strategy?

Next, you'll want to decide how you'll structure your rewards strategy. Rewards can be based on the entire duration of the challenge, or you can make users eligible for different rewards weekly for more fun! 

For example, include smaller weekly prizes for participants who average a certain amount of steps. Then, announce the grand prizes after the challenge ends based on total challenge stats. Participants will have something to look forward to every week!

Looking for an extra-exciting option? Create a raffle where participants become eligible for entry when they meet certain challenge goals or maintain activity averages. This keeps anticipation high and ensures everyone has a chance to win while they're crushing their goals. 

### How will your participants qualify for prizes?

Finally, you'll want to determine exactly how participants qualify for prizes. While you may feel tempted to reward the top steppers on the Leaderboard, this method can be a bit disheartening! You may inadvertently discourage other participants who are trying their best, but ultimately can't compete with your most athletic employees. After all, the goal is to be inclusive and reward everyone who is working hard to be engaged and more active!

There are many ways to recognize participants that go beyond just recognizing your top steppers. We recommend giving participants a few different ways to earn a reward to diversify your reward strategy. The more ways they have to participate and engage, the more chances they have to win! 

![prize-ideas-7.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/movespring/image/upload/v1634073218/blog/prize_ideas_7_194582cd94.jpg)


## Ways to Reward Participants

Below, you'll find four ways to reward your participants creatively, whether you're using the MoveSpring platform or not:

### **Achievement**

Reward top-stepping participants as one part of your overall reward strategy. We also recommend recognizing users who are most improved over the course of the challenge. Additionally, you can recognize participants who made new personal records (like most activity in one day)!

**For example, reward a few users who are most improved from weeks 1-2 to weeks 3-4 with PTO half day passes.**

*💡The Leaderboard, Journey, and Target modes on MoveSpring are ideal to measure individual achievement.*

### **Teamwork**

Reward winning teams in competitive challenges or celebrate goal completion in collaborative challenges.

**For example, reward the team with the highest average steps with a team pizza party.**

*💡Try the Team Leaderboard, Group Journey, Group Target, or Group Target Fundraiser modes on MoveSpring to recognize teamwork.*

### **Consistency**

Reward participants who consistently meet their activity goals over time. Those who average a certain number of steps, distance, or active minutes throughout the duration of the challenge become eligible for prizes.

**For example, create a raffle to reward users who maintain a 5k step average for 30 days with a $20 gift card to a local grocer.**

*💡The Streak & Stick to It modes in MoveSpring are a great way to measure consistency and stay on top of your goals.*

### **Participation & Engagement**

Reward participants for joining the challenge and actively syncing. With the help of MoveSpring admin reports, you can also recognize those who engage with the app, content, or chat on a regular basis.

**For example, reward the most engaged user in the MoveSpring app with a healthy snack box.**

*💡With MoveSpring’s Engagement Reports, you’ll have access to engagement stats from the MoveSpring Admin Center.*


## Reward Ideas for Any Budget

Now that you've got your reward strategy basics down, let's get to the fun part: prizes! 

Sure, we all love an Amazon gift card, but there are plenty of other outside-of-the-box prize options for you to choose from as well. We recommend tailoring your rewards specifically to your challenge theme or your employees' goals and interests. Your employees will appreciate the personal touch, and they'll be more motivated to engage with your challenge and ultimately their health.

Our favorite 70 prize ideas are broken down into five main reward categories: wellness prizes, prizes beyond wellness, experiences, corporate benefits, and recognition. Each category has options for any budget; the opportunities to get challenge participants pumped are endless!
