How it works
This is a team-based challenge set up into three leagues
so that employees across all fitness levels can compete
fairly with employees at their same fitness level.
• Grab five to seven coworkers in your same fitness
level.
• As a team, pick ONE league to join and compete in.
Light, standard, and advanced
workouts
Vitality’s three levels of workouts account for increased
intensity of daily workouts. Vitality awards 5 points for light,
10 points for standard and 15 points for advanced
workouts. Self-reported workouts will not count towards
this challenge.
• Complete as many verified workouts as you can
during the challenge period.
Prizes
• The team with the highest average workouts over
the challenge period wins!
The top five teams in each league, top individual on each
team, and the team-voted MVP will earn prizes!
Only verified workouts will count towards this challenge.
No self-reported workouts will be accepted.
Pick your league
Be sure to pack your dugout with coworkers on your same
fitness level when considering which league to join.
• League I: Get in the game
This league is for employees who will track
mostly light workouts (and above) in Vitality.
• The top team in each league earns one pair of MLB tickets
per team member.
• The top five teams in each league earn bonus Vitality
Points.
• The top individual on each team (regardless of final team
ranking) earns bonus Vitality Points.
• The team-voted MVP (voting instructions provided at end
of challenge) earns bonus Vitality Points.
