Step Challenge
More energy, stronger teams, and better wellness, one step at a time!
A team challenge to get people moving and build connections
Sitting has quietly become our default mode — did you know the average adult now spends over 10 hours a day sitting?
Yet, the benefits of walking are substantial: lower stress, improved focus, and reduced musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
This Teamupp step challenge turns that reality into a fun and collective adventure: an accessible game that gets everyone to move a little more each day — one step at a time.
Using the app and the built-in pedometer on their smartphone, everyone can track their daily steps — whether it’s a short walk, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or simply moving more during a “no-email day” or an active break.
Real-time rankings on the interactive feed keep energy and motivation high throughout the program.
Step by step — no pun intended — employees build healthier habits together, reduce sedentary time, and cultivate a lasting culture of movement and wellness at work.
Walking together, moving forward together
The step challenge is designed to be inclusive, social, and accessible to everyone — regardless of age, role, or fitness level.
Walking is good for your health — but also for team morale.
By sharing their steps, tips, and photos, colleagues bond, cheer each other on, and spread positive energy across teams — whether in person or remote.
Through the app’s newsfeed and friendly leaderboards, motivation becomes contagious: people celebrate milestones, share encouragement, and enjoy a bit of light-hearted competition.
The experience stays friendly, inclusive, and balanced — everyone participates at their own pace, with absolutely zero pressure to perform.
An engaging, measurable format that keeps teams moving, strengthens cohesion, and brings employee wellness to life every day.
