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.

Thanks for the suggestion of everymove.  This looks like a nice app, but doesn't allow you to create the kind of challenge I'm looking for.

It really is a shame (and surprising!) that Fitbit doesn't take this feedback more seriously, considering getting people involved and excited about challenges would have a huge positive impact on sales and retention.

[SunsetRunner]

I think that would be a great idea

Custom challenges. I would love to make a challenge for step climbing and several other things.

Was looking for something similar as well. I want to be able to customize challenges with friends.

[SunsetRunner]

We have a group of friends that have a competition going on a social media group.  We would love not just the ability to create a custom group on Fitbit but to create custom challanges.  We find the choices that fitbit provides for weekly challanges become boring over time.

Getting bored of step challenges now. How about adding stair climbing challenges?

Right now, challenges with friends are pretty limited. However, one creation screen with 2 parameters would make a lot of cool challenges.

Just make a "Create Challenge" screen where we can select a start and end date and the type of value (activity, steps, km, floors, calories) to track. So then we could do

- weekend with most activity minutes

- 10 day challenge with most kms

- weekdays challenge with most calories burned

Why I need it? Currently it's only steps, which doesn't help me and my friends to get fit. Some of my friends are running, some are doing bodyweight, some are doing crossfit, so no chance to measure and compete.

Exactly what i need!

I added the "Challenges" screen:

[DuskWolf]

This is a great idea

[lymm]

Yes!!!
There should be other types of challenges that does not require steps!!! Since the Fitbit tracks different functions

 Agree!  I work at a desk and do hiit for exercise.  Not many steps inn a day for me. Was thinking active minute challenge would be great! 

[tlstevenson]

I think adding challenges that you can customize is a great idea! 

[BCav]

Agree!  I spin, do hot yoga and a number of other things that don't log steps.

Hello, 

I wanted to suggest customized challenges.  This could be used in corportate settings for a set period of days for Wellness Time Periods or even conferences that may span challenge dates (Friday- Sunday) or may only last 2-3 days within the one week period.  It would create a sense of interaction with other people you are at the conference with.

Hi I recently got in contact with you guys as a lot of my friends are doing this 1000 mile in a year challenge.  It is a shame that you don't do this as it can be. an challenge or a group challenge, me personally would like it to me personal.  Is there any way that you could put this challenge up for us fitbit users.

Or you could do what a lot of people are asking a let us create our own challenges please.

[BarbaraaF]

Hi 

I would also like to see customized challenges, where you can choose doing a year challenge and set how many miles you can do that year, a few people I know are dooing a 1000 mile challenge in 2017.  It would be great if fitbit did this as well.  I would love this to show on making your own challenge on the challenge dashboard.

Please fitbit do this for us fitbit fanatics.

Would this also work for you? Then like. 🙂 https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/More-flexible-challenges-with-friends/idi-p/1751...

[Cindygirl77]

I have a fitbit Flex and I would like to see a custom challenge option, and to be able to choose the number of participants to add (sometimes I just want to challenge myself).

[Hrkeenan]

Its a motivational feature to compete with ny friends on fitbit. So i would like to see more challenges available or a way we can customize a challenge.

[Jaddsion]

My department is doing a step challenge for January, it would be nice to be able to keep the challenge going all month instead of doing workweek hustle and then weekend warrior etc.. also, we'd like to be able to add more than 10 people as we had less than 10 at the beginning but lots of people wanted to get involved and bought a fitbit and now we all can't be in the same challenge. Please help!

[timborino]

Have you checked out Stridekick? There are a few third-party apps that have more options for challanges, including friends with non-fitbit trackers like Jawbone, etc. It would ne nice if Fitbit took some ideas from these other apps.

[MartinFriend]

I definately agree; we need more/custom challenges as soon as possible.

[Tiddleree]

Would love to see active minutes challenges, most effective workout, weight loss, most stairs climbed...

[GiulioC]

Yes! 

Definetly been able to create a custom challenge would be a good idea, the only challenge that I wouldn't find fair would be the Calories one since calories count your BMR which you would burn depending on your Height and weight
