STEPPI Fitness Challenge 💪

Are you ready to take your daily fitness goals to the next level?

The STEPPI Fitness Challenge is here to inspire consistency, motivation, and friendly competition - one goal at a time! This challenge is all about completing daily activity targets that keep you moving and feeling your best. Whether it’s counting your steps, tracking your active minutes, or logging your exercise sessions, every completed goal brings your team closer to victory.

This challenge isn’t just about movement - it’s about creating healthy habits, supporting your teammates, and celebrating progress together. Each day you achieve a goal, you contribute to your team’s overall score, motivating everyone to stay active and consistent. The more participants who complete their goals, the higher your team climbs on the leaderboard!

So get ready to stay active, cheer on your teammates, and turn small daily wins into lasting habits!

Participants join teams, but it’s your individual effort that makes the difference. Each time you complete your daily activity goal, your personal achievement adds points to your team’s total score - the more teammates who hit their goals, the higher your team climbs on the leaderboard!

Each participant works towards a daily fitness goal, which can be achieved in one of the following ways:

• Steps – reaching your daily step target
• Active Minutes – recording a set amount of movement throughout the day (automatically tracked via your wearable device)
• Exercise Minutes – logging workouts or activity sessions that get your heart rate up (manually entered in the STEPPI app)

It’s all about teamwork, motivation, and staying active together — every goal completed makes a difference.

1. Daily Score Formula

Each day, a team’s score is calculated based on how many participants complete at least one of the daily activity goals (e.g. 10,000 steps or 30 active minutes).

Formula:

Daily Score = (Goal Completions / Total Participants) × 100

This formula converts the team’s completion rate into a percentage score out of 100.

• If every team member completes their goal, the team earns 100 points for that day.
• If half the team meets the goal, they earn 50 points, and so on.

Example:

If 300 out of 300 participants complete their goal, the team’s score = (300 ÷ 300) × 100 = 100 points

2. Challenge Score Formula

The challenge score is the total accumulated score across all days of the challenge.

Formula:

Challenge Score = Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3 + …

Teams are ranked on the leaderboard according to their total challenge score, from highest to lowest

3. Tie-Breaker: Participation Score

If two or more teams have the same total challenge score, the tie is broken by the participation score, which measures how many employees actively participated relative to the team’s total size.

Formula.

Participation Score = (Total Active Participants / Group Size) × 100

The daily participation scores are accumulated just like the challenge score.

The team with the higher participation score ranks higher in the event of a draw

Example:

At the end of Day 3, both Emaar and DEWA had 300 challenge points.

However, Emaar’s participation score (199) was higher than DEWA’s (182), so Emaar ranked 1st
