Challenges
Compete in fitness challenges to earn exclusive rewards and XP.
What Are Challenges?
Challenges are time-limited fitness goals you can join to push yourself further. They range from step challenges to workout completions, and are created by coaches, the FitConnect team, or your own coach specifically for their clients.
Completing challenges earns you XP, badges, and sometimes exclusive avatars that aren't available any other way.
Types of Challenges

Coach Challenges
Created by coaches for their clients. These might be specific to a training program or designed to motivate a group of clients working towards similar goals.
