Are you ready for some neighborly city vs. city competition? Are you looking for ways to get active and start crushing your goals?
Join Team Southlake for the first annual Fit City Challenge! We are going head-to-head with the City of Keller to prove we have what it takes to be the Most Fit City 2022! The challenge kicks off today!
Over the next 45 days, we challenge you to be physically active, focus on your well-being, and work with your fellow citizens to move Southlake to the top of the leaderboard! We teamed up with Wellable to be the health and wellness platform for the Fit City Challenge. With Wellable, you will have the opportunity to have fun while getting active, improve your health and well-being, and qualify for prizes!
Join the Challenge Today!
To get started, create a free Wellable account. Once completed, check your inbox for a welcome email containing your Wellable credentials for access to your account. You will also receive instructions for connecting an app or activity tracker to your account—it’s the easiest way to track your activity and earn points!
Registration opened on March 28th, 2022, but you can join at any point throughout the challenge, which runs from April 1st, 2022, through May 15th, 2022.
How the Challenge Works
The goal for this challenge is to achieve 2,022 points. That’s 45 minutes of activity a day over the 45 days of the challenge!
Earning Points for this challenge is super simple! For every minute of intentional activity completed, you will earn yourself and your team 1 point! Please note that some activities listed are recorded based on the distance completed. To distribute points accurately, we have taken the average time it takes to complete each distance and will convert that distance to points.
*If you prefer to record these activities based upon time, simply select “Other Sports and Activities” listed under the Physical Activity tab and record the time spent being active.
*A daily maximum of 45 points is set to encourage an ongoing active lifestyle.
A random participant will be drawn from each team to win a prize each week! At the end of the challenge, the individual with the most Active Minutes/Points on each team will win an Apple Watch! In the case of a tie, the participants will be put into a drawing, and the winner will be chosen at random.
The team that finishes the challenge with the highest average of points per user will be crowned the Fit City Challenge Champions!
Weekly Prizes
Prize for Overall Challenge Winners
At the end of the challenge, the individual from each team with the greatest number of Active Minutes/ Points will be crowned the overall challenge winner for their city and will receive the grand prize– an Apple Watch!
How Teams are Ranked
Teams are ranked by the average number of points for all members. Teammates without any points will lower the score of the entire team! Encouraging your teammates to stay active throughout the challenge is critical to maintaining your average! The leaderboard will default to team rankings, but you can see how you rank as an overall individual or an individual on your team by selecting a new view under the options menu.
Added Bonus!
Members of The Keller Pointe and members of Champions Club will have open access to both facilities for the duration of the challenge! Just show proof of current membership, complete your waiver, and you’re good to go! Now let’s get ready to log some activities!
