Challenges not Based on Steps, eg. Sports, Stairs, Active Mins

[Lianne393]

It would be nice to have different types of challenges that aren't solely based on getting our steps in. 

For instance, the number of active minutes in a day, loss challenge, calories, water consumption. Some activities don't count steps such as cycling, skiing or skateboard.  I would like to be able to compete against my friends while doing other activities.

I really want a sleep challenge!!

[SunsetRunner]

We so need a stair challenge.

life has it's ups and downs so why not the Fitbit challenge 

[Akowalski04]

My kid and I use the fitbits. she has the charge hr and I have the flex2. I like watching what she is doing like moving, sleeping and such. is there any way to challenge sleep so I can really see how she is doing instead of looking at her account all the time? would like to see that added.

I would love love more options for challenges. The 4 available are the same. I think it would he amazing to have a 10k (goal etc) consecutive day challenge. For example, on New Years....who can keep up their step goal for the most amount of days. The other one is somehow incorporating other exersizes into challenges. I do an hour pump class on Saturdays ...and it is so challenging. But step wise, it is crap. As well as my hot yoga classes. So we need a challenge that can incorporate other exersizes too! Thanks!! I love my Fitbit!

I suggest to make different kind of challenges, such as "the exercise challenge ". It's much more effective than steps challenges.

I would love to see Fitbit create challenges for things other than steps, such as water intake goal challenges and food log challenges to help us all get our water in for the day and log all our food. Thank you for your consideration!

I agree with the OP. Could you please add a "Daily Floors Climbed Challenge" as a trial to the Challenge range. Most of your trackers have altimeters and for people that don't have a fitbit with an altimeter they may probably buy a new device just to compete in the new challenge, boosting fitbit sales and profits.

Kind Regards,

Fitbit user

I would love to see this water challenge on the Fitbit app! It would encourage my family members and friends to attempt to drink their daily water goal! 

[Snowalker]

wondering when Fitbit will add the calories burn challenge or any other new challenge at all. Why does it take this long? One developer can make this happen in one day, literaly. 

[JasonRankin]

Challenges based on active minutes or calories burned. I do Crossfit and my friends run. No way to challenge each other currently. They will always win at steps so we gave up weekly challenges. 

We we also need a full 7 day challenge. Do people only exercise for 5 days?

[Ryangflo]

When can we expect this to launch? It's pretty obvious this needs to be a thing. Let's go developers! Let's make your app useful again 😁

[April13]

Yes, please add more options for challenges. Fitbit collects so many metrics that I can't imagine this is a difficult request. Bored with current challenges. After requesting variety for over a year and not receiving any, I've stopped recommending your products to my fitness clients. 

[Michelleminnis]

I have the Fitbit mainly to track my running miles. I would love to see challenge options for active minutes and miles. Thank you

[CatC87]

Hi,

I am new to fitbit so I don't know if this has already been asked, but I would like to add a challenge/goal of completing my first half marathon in March. It would be great to have weekly mile targets that we can adjust in the run-up to events such as these. Can anyone point me in the direction of how I can set this up?

Thanks!

[CatC87]

I'd love to see challenges based on amounts of miles run and being able to customise your own goals/challenges! Loads of other free apps allow you to do this and having spent so much on a fitbit, I would hope that I could do this on the app too!

[Jennifer4610]

I would love to see a challenge where users that have the aria scale could do a biggest loser competition. The participants could weigh in each week but only have the pounds lost and/or percentage lost, which would be great for people who do not want to reveal their weight.

Please add a calorie challenge. I bike and weight lift more than run. Thanks

[apforfree]

I love the challenges. It would be great if there were one for most stairs climbed in a day or a week that we could do with others.

[KirraBurlor]

Yes! Calorie challenges please. As a Dragon Boater (a sport not recognised on fitbit charge2)  my exercise is done on the water, not measurable by steps. The calories burnt is always accurate though. It's about time a calories burnt challenge was added.

[Graveling]

Considering this thread is 18 months old, looks like Fitbit is ignoring us.

[dabdab]

I would love to be able to compete with my friends on the active minutes, sleep, and other things. I think it would add more interaction!

[KimHan]

Please add something other than steps to the challenges, as others have said, if your doing workouts not step based, weights etc, it's hard to compete! Please add calories burned, miles covered or active minutes etc. This would really make a difference to our challanges and would give me that extra drive and determination! 🙏🏼

[poebee]

Stair challenges wanted by so many fitpit pals I know. I live in s big city with subways... many stairs every day... also I decided to never use the elevator or escalater again. So often I reach over 100 floors although hardly reach 13k steps a day, sometimes merely 8k since I have an office job. I never ein a step challenge but sure would be able if there was a stair challenge. 

[Haytammy]

Please come up with a way for users to make their own challenges!

[JasonRankin]

I have been making suggestions to add new challenges that involve things other than steps for 2 years now. And the moderators are commenting so they obviously get read, but yet nothing has ever been done. Is that FitBit policy to only have step challenges? If so, we'll stop asking and just purchase a different tracker.
