Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

[Cheddarbill]

I would like to be able to set which days I want for a challenge. Not all of my friends work a workweek (Mon-Fri). I would like to be able to make a challenge thats like Thurs-Sun or Mon-Wed-Fri. Or whatever days my friends work during that week. Choose teams and partners.

I would like to see an option for creating our own challenges, like a day off chocolate to increase the chance to lose weight while increasing steps. Making steps for the sake of it can be counter productive if in the end we eat more unhealthy foods and too big quantities of anything. Let us figure out what challenges we want to make Fitbit work better for us

[JonoB]

How about an hourly challenge between 2 players, any amount of hours, any time of day.
Player 1 suggests amount of hours and a start time, Player 2 can either accept or edit the the times and send it back to Player 1 to accept or edit.

I really like competing with friends by doing all the challenges. However, my husband and I are very different in height, therefore if we go for a walk together I can take 600 more steps than him in a mile. Obviously it's easier for me to win a step based challenge, but often he has covered more distance than me anyway. It would be great to level the playing field by being able to set a daily distance challenge instead if this would be possibe!

Would be cool to have a weekday warrior leaderboard for people who get the closest to 8 hrs of sleep per day. Total calories burned, total distance traveled, etc. Something other than just steps all the time would be nice.

Think we all wasting our time voicing things as it falling on deaf ears never mind shiny new models you mmm listen and talk to the grass roots people or we quit and buy another product with a rival company

[Zachadamson]

Hi Fitbit! I think that I have a pretty good idea for a new challenge which is based off of steps, flights of stairs, and total miles. Instead of the winner having the most steps, it would be the person with the most in all three categories.

Hi, I live in the GCC (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) where the weekend is Friday and Saturday. Would it be possible to tailor the weekend / working week challenges to these dates? The Challenges feature is very interesting but lacking customization (Period setting). I suggest having customized challenges where we can amend the challenge period. Regards

I would also like to see a non-step challenge.  I have joint issues, so 10,000 steps is beyond what I can do.  I'd like to see some based on active minutes, or calories burned and also water drunk.  These would be some I could participate in.

[LugNuts]

I'd like to see more challenge options, such as distance. My wife and I can take the same walk together, but she will get twice the step credit because one of my steps is nearly two of hers. At the end of the day I will be ahead in distance, but lose the step challenge.

It would also be fun to challenge floors climbed too, but I'm a Mountain Goat!

[dirtydizzle]

It would be much more fun to do challenges other than steps, such as most number of flights of stairs, most calories burned, most activity for the week, etc. Even the option to custom make your own challenges based on fitbit parameters like hitting your water intake everyday! 

Challenge options are endless, I was very surprised to only see 4 available when I got my fitbit. 

[Synne]

I would love to havethe option to chose between total numer of steps OR % of personal goal (like in goal day) for more challanges - weekend and week. My group of friends on different levels find it more motivating to compete when everybody can win - and demotivating when i have like 20 000 more steps every time...no competition for me either!

[Henriu]

I am also waiting for these options!

[CaptainAshBacon]

I'd LOVE for there to be a way to customise the name of the weekly challenge, I am in two and it's confusing which one is with which people without going in and checking all the names!

Also i'd love a challenge that goes for 7Days not 5 & 2

[Tabbybelton]

Please allow more than 10 people to a challenge!!

[Tabbybelton]

I agree!!!!!

[AnnaW79]

Hi when will a more than 5 challenges option be available please???

[FatMatDamon]

I wish there were more challenge types. Number of floors would be excellent. This could be similar to steps with day long, work week, and weekend options. Also, a challenge for meeting your individual goals. A month long challenge to see who meets the most daily goals (bonus point for meeting all of yours.) Bonus feature... suggestions of when to up your goal. (i.e. after a month of hitting 10000 step a popup suggestion to make your goal 12000 or 15000.)

[Calicrunch]

I would like to see the ability to fully customize challenges within all parameters 

Examples:

Challenge your friends to:

log x minutes of exercise x times a week.

or

achieve x goal

or anything...

[Hopers44]

Have more challenge options.
1. Challenge to get 10,000 steps every day for a week.
2. Challenge to get the most steps between a certain time frame like 5pm to 8pm.
3. Challenge to have a certain number of exercise mins per day.
4. Challenge to have reached certain heart rate level for a certain amount of minutes.

[skccer]

Wish you would add more challenges

[LouH]

It would be great to be able to create / customise our own challenges. I have a group of ladies at weight watchers in the uk and they are actively trying to walk more but all are at different stages. I need to be able to set the challenges to accommodate them. Thanks

[maz2510]

I would also be interested in this feature as I also live in the GCC.  I know my friends and I who participate in the Workweek hustle would appreciate this feature.

Thanks!

[dgreenbe]

My biggest request here is for challenges to be available for metrics other than steps. I'm most interested in: time in heart rate zones, active minutes, and exercise. Sleep would be another interesting one!

[Walk500miles]

I agree!! This new policy is SO disappointing!!  Why did they change it?  The FitBit community idea and the challenges are something that sets FitBit apart from the other watches but now I find that I am very limited  in the challenges that I can particpate  in.  I am not happy with this. 😞

[Walk500miles]

I agree!!  Those are all very good ideas!  I am finding the FitBit community to be very limiting right now with the 5 challenge limit.  Especially since they are counting the challenges that are over but haven't finished syncing yet and also challenges that I have signed up for but haven't begun yet.  I hope that they fix this soon!
