Fitbit Community

There should be features to enable you to create custom challenges or competition with friends/groups... over a certain period of time, or the first one to reach a certain goal, most steps in the working days, ...
At this point the competition aspect is quite poor, you can only compete on a 7-day rolling window with friends or on a monthly total in groups. There are a lot of improvement opportunities here!!

I would like to see how long it takes me, and be able to visualize my progress on a map, over the course of several days or several months, depending on the distance. Example would be walking from Los Angels to San Francisco. I think people would find this entertaining and could make challenges last longer for those invited to join a journey

Bingo is way too hard.  4 days into a 10 day challenge and I’ve only got 2 badges.  It would be nice if it was more achievable or you could choose how hard to make it.

Hi! Our office is started to revamp our wellness program. Ever staff member is given a Fitbit, they can choose from the Fitbit Flex or Fitbit One. We give prizes to top performers, but I feel the community dashboard and information needs to be more robust.

1. Leaderboard - It only shows myself and everyone ranked higher than me. There's the rest of the staff that don't show up. In order to properly track everyone, I'd like to see all 60 employees.

2. Rankings History - The rankings only show three options: 7 days, the current month, and the previous. It would be nice to have the rankings saved for a historical standpoint, which could be used for award prizes those people with the most improved steps. It'd be also nice to be able to download reports.

3. Challenges - Challenges can only invite 10 people. I don't want to create separate challenges and divide the staff. I'd like everyone who wants to participate to be able to do so together.

I would be willing to pay a premium or corporate account for these features. Thanks!

I've seen the results of the Celebrity Challenges but have you thought about Corporate Challenges?  I know my company is very interested in improving the health of all it's employees (albeit not purely alltrueistic) 

Wouldn't it be fun to say, have a competition by industry?  You can even offer employees of the participating companies a discount on select devices (possibly even subsidized by the company)  You can then follow the progress during the challenge, Company with the most steps, company with the highest average steps by participant and Company with the individual with the highest step count.

This could be a boon for sales and good advertising for all companies.

Would fitbit consider giving first, second, and third place winner awards out for challenges? It would be more motivating and rewarding to more people, stimulating more interaction among players. I would be more encouraged to know I had a better chance to win a trophy. Sometimes one person is so far ahead of all others that you give up. But second and third place prizes would inspire more competition and gratification.
