Getting started
How does a corporate or team walking challenge work?
You choose the dates, the teams and a goal. Employees join the app and their walks sync from a wearable or straight from the phone. Everyone has a personal ranking and daily goal, and teams compete on average per person.
How long should a walking challenge last?
Four weeks is a common choice: long enough to build a habit, short enough to keep the energy up. You can set any length that fits your calendar.
What goal should we set?
Pick a goal a typical participant can reach with steady effort. The average YuMuuv participant takes 8,448 steps a day, about 6 km, so a daily goal of around 8,000 steps suits most groups.
How much work is it for HR?
You set up the challenge in the admin dashboard and invite people. A success manager helps you plan the first one, and communication templates help you announce it. On G2, customers report going live in under a month on average.
Joining in
Can people without a wearable join?
Yes. The YuMuuv app counts steps on the phone, so no wearable is needed.
Which devices and apps work with YuMuuv?
Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, Suunto, Apple Health, Google Fit, Health Connect and Google Health, plus iPhone and Android phones. People connect once and walks sync automatically.
Does it work for a group walking challenge outside work?
Yes. You can run walking challenges for any group, and employees can invite family and friends to private challenges.
Which languages is the app available in?
47 languages, on the web, iOS and Android. Each person can use the app in their own language.
During the challenge
How are teams ranked fairly?
On average per person, not totals. A team of 8 can beat a team of 80.
Can people compete as individuals as well as in teams?
Yes. Every participant has an individual rank and a personal daily goal alongside the team leaderboards.
Does it work for office, remote and global teams?
Yes. Everyone walks wherever they are, and you can split teams by office, department or country.
Can colleagues talk to each other in the app?
Yes. Each challenge has a chat where people post messages and photos from their walks.
Security and cost
Is YuMuuv secure and accessible?
Yes. YuMuuv is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant, and the app meets WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards. Security documentation is available for your IT team.
What can employees and HR see?
Colleagues see the leaderboards and the challenge chat. HR sees participation and challenge results in the admin dashboard.
How do we measure the results?
The admin dashboard shows sign-ups and participation by team during the challenge, and you can export the results for leadership.
What does it cost?
You pay only for employees who take part, with unlimited challenges during your period. See pricing or ask for a quote on the demo.
How far could your company walk together?
Move the sliders to see how far your people could walk together. Sign-ups use YuMuuv’s 53% average adoption on G2. Distance uses 8,448 steps a day, the average for a YuMuuv participant.
