Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

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 love to be able to customize my challenges.. Have an active min challenge or a team challenge like 3vs3, or a who can take the most steps by 10 am , who can take the most steps in the next 2 hours.....
I had a jaw bone and switched to Fitbit mostly due to the challenges. I love there to bemore options

I'd love to see the ability to designate your own challenge on the app! I'm making enemies with the weekly challenge because I have ONE day that I put in 20,000 or more steps. If I could base the challenge on 3 days, for example, then it would be more "fair"!

I actually turned to Twitter and asked Fitbit about this, they said they are in the process of developing new challenges, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Fantastic! Shame they haven't informed everyone who has contributed directly on here.

Customer services on email didn't know anything new about it.

Would love to see a "# of floors" challenge! Just step challenges are good, but getting boring! Also, would like to be able to track floors going down (working different muscle groups)... Thanks, and love my Fitbit charge!

Why can't we have more than 10 people in a challenge? I can't see any reason why you would even need a limit.. I love the motivation & competitiveness the challenges bring, so why not have as many friends/friends of friends as you like to compete against?!

I like that idea also ... the active hour challenge ... as in how many
hours people get 250 steps or more consecutively. ..

Sorry if this is a repeat but I'd really LOVE it if Fitbit would get rid of the 5 challenges limit that a person is allowed to be signed up for at one time. It doesn't take into account whether the challenge has started or closed (everyone in challenge all synced in and winner tallied). Really annoying because I have a couple of friends that would rather just do 1:1 challenges for personal reasons. Yet, I don't want to be locked into only group or only 1:1 challenges. I wouldn't mind doing a combo but the 5 challenge limit keeps me from doing this. Also, I'd love to hit rematch button after a Weekend Warrior or Workweek Hustle, but then that counts as 1 of my challenges even though it may not start for 2-5 days from time I hit rematch... I really wish Fitbit would take that into account when keeping track of how many challenges we're really signed up for vs challenges that are actively occurring on our accounts....

I see that it has been mentioned but can the 5 Challenge limit be increased.  It would be helpful/motivating to be able to participate/compete with more than a few groups at a time.

Can we have a stairs challenge?.... For the most flights of stairs in a day.

The challages Definitely need to be spiced up a bit. Calories burned, active minutes, steps for different times of day are all brilliant ideas. I love competing and would love to do other challages.

I would like a step challenge for all 7 days rather than the work week and weekend challenges!

I would like to add as many people in a challenge as I like. Currently have a group of people doing an online weight loss contest, would love to have all of them challenge each other at once to keep them motivated through the week.

Hi ! What's point of having 30 friends ! When you can only have 10 doing a workweek hustle and on track exercise should tell you how much distance you have covered !!

I definitely would love to have more challenge options.

Activity minutes would be fantastic! I would love to challenge my friends to be more active.

I do the step challenge weekly and that's fun to participate and compete in, but I need more to elevate my interest

Thank you

I would like to see Team challenges added. so you can have 5 teams of max 5 compete against each other for a specified time , day, weekend, week. We have family in 4 different towns and would like to have a couples challenge.

t is really sad when my Fitbit doesn't let me do more than 5 challenges...

I'd love to see some additional challenges besides oh let me count thy steps. My job and some medical conditions prohibit me from getting the steps in that I'd like to get, but I workout 6 days a week. So I'd love to see some challenges for workout times per week, minutes per week, maybe hitting a target heart rate or sustaining it... Something that matches the variety of information my Fitbit collects. It doesn't JUST count steps so why should the challenges only count steps? Thanks!
