Achieve greater results, and have more fun, when a buddy is involved!
We support multiple types of challenges: Buddy Challenges, Group Challenges, and Sponsored Challenges.
🏆 Challenge Types
Sponsored Challenges (Community-Wide)
What they are: Organization-wide challenges created by BetterYou for special events, wellness initiatives, and seasonal campaigns.
Examples include:
Mental Health Month (May)
Worldwide Day of Sleep (March)
Seasonal wellness campaigns
Organization-specific initiatives
How to join:
Navigate to the Community tab
Look for challenges in the "Sponsored Challenges" section
Ensure you have a corresponding goal set in the Goals tab
Tap on the challenge to view details and join
Important: You must have a goal set that matches the challenge type (e.g., if it's a STEPS challenge, you need a steps goal active).
Common Question: Getting an error but confident your goal is set? When you first set up your account or set a goal for the first time, the system takes up to 30 minutes to pull you into the challenge. Give it a minute and it should pull you in.
Group Challenges
What they are: Challenges created within specific Groups you're a member of, allowing you to compete with your team or department.
How to access:
Go to the Community tab
Tap on the Groups tab
Select your group to see available challenges
Join challenges or create new ones for your group
See our Groups article for more!
Buddy Challenges
What they are: One-on-one challenges with your accountability buddies to keep each other motivated and on track.
Having an "accountability buddy" really does make you 90% more likely to hit your goals!
