Monthly challenges

Pick a challenge. Bank the points.

Five challenges to choose from, three at a time, and a fresh race every month. Seasonal events add limited-time badges on top.

Every month MoveTogether offers you five challenges, like Walk 9,000 steps or Exercise for 30 minutes on 5 days. Pick up to three at a time. Finish one and its points are banked, and a new challenge fills its spot. Your points rank you against a group of members at a similar level, and the race starts over each month.

How a month works

Challenges run on your steps, active calories, exercise minutes and workouts from Apple Health or Health Connect.

  1. Choose from five challenges. Each shows its points before you pick it, and harder ones pay more.
  2. Hold up to three at a time. Not keen on an offer? Swap it, up to 3 swaps a day.
  3. One-day challenges count from the moment you pick them. Challenges over several days count from the next day.
  4. Finish one and its points are banked for the month. A new challenge takes its spot right away.

A race you can win

Points this month

Every challenge you finish adds to your total. Each month starts from zero, so a slow month never follows you into the next.

Your group

You rank against around 50 members, grouped at the start of the month by last month’s points and active days. Not against the whole app.

Finish enough challenges in a month to earn that month’s badge. No Pro needed.

Seasonal events

Limited-time events show up in the Compete tab, each with a badge you can only earn while it runs. Most come in three paces, Easy, Steady and Strong, and we suggest one when you join.

Challenge

Hit your pace’s daily target on enough days and the badge is yours. You can move up a pace any time.

Competition

Finish near the top of the leaderboard. With paces, everyone is scored as a percent of their own daily target, up to 150% a day.

Community

Everyone works toward one shared total. Reach it and everyone who pitched in earns the badge.

Joining an event and earning its badge don’t need Pro.

Questions

What if I don’t finish a challenge?

It stays in Active until the month ends, so there is no deadline. You can also remove it. That earns no points and uses one of the day’s swaps.

Do monthly challenges need Pro?

No. Picking challenges, the monthly leaderboard and the monthly badge work without Pro.

What does Pro change in seasonal events?

Without Pro, an event counts from the day you join it. With Pro, the days before you joined count too, back to the event’s start or your signup, whichever is later.

Where do I find them?

Monthly challenges are on Home and on their own Challenges screen. Seasonal events are in the Compete tab.
