Percentage of Goals

Percentage of Goals is MoveTogether's flagship 'cross-fitness-level' scoring method. A beginner with a 5,000-step goal who hits 5,000 scores the same as a marathon trainer with a 15,000-step goal who hits 15,000. Effort relative to your own targets is what counts.

MoveTogether recommends Percentage of Goals for mixed-device groups specifically, it sidesteps the fact that different sources report things slightly differently (MoveTogether doesn't ingest WHOOP step data, Strava is workout-only, etc.). Everyone competes against their own goal completion rate.

It's also the recommendation when group fitness levels vary widely (parents and teenagers, beginners and athletes).

The trade-off to understand is that it scores against targets each person sets for themselves, so it rewards honest goal-setting: lower your goals and every point gets cheaper to earn. In practice this matters far less than it sounds, because goals are visible in the app and you generally compete with people you know. Where the method genuinely earns its place is any group that spans fitness levels or device brands, which is most groups. It is the option that comes closest to letting people on very different hardware finish next to each other on merit. One limit worth knowing: the method sums three capped rings, Move, Exercise and Steps, so a source MoveTogether reads no steps from (WHOOP today) tops out at two of the three. In a group that mixes WHOOP with step-reporting devices, Workout Based is the cleaner call.
