How it works
1. Using the Fitwins App
You can use the Fitwins App to track your progress during the challenge along the interactive map and earn stars as you complete each challenge milestone. The App syncs seamlessly with Strava to show your progress and you do not need to send screenshots or evidence to show that you have completed the challenge. The Fitwins App is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Playstore. You can then register and view the monthly challenges.
2. Challenge Entry
Choose to enter a monthly challenge as a gold, silver or bronze Fitwins member. You can enter the challenge using Fitwins coins. Fitwins coins can be purchased in coin bundles by selecting your coin balance. If you select gold entry, please make sure your address details are up to date in the profile section so that we can ship your awesome bespoke medal and pack out to you.
3. Track your progress
Record your activities using your watch, other wearable device, or mobile phone. We recommend syncing your activities with STRAVA. Fitwins syncs with STRAVA to track your activities and progress. Complete activity milestones to earn Fitwins stars, virtual medals, certificates and more in your locker. To sync with Strava select the profile image and 'link my STRAVA account'
If you have entered the challenge as a gold or silver member, we will ship your pack out at the end of the challenge month (there is no need to send evidence to us). All entrants receive medal badges in their app locker.
4. Challenge Stages
The challenge distances are set at 25, 50, 100 and 200 miles plus each month. You complete the distance that suits you, in your time, at your pace. Stage One is 25 miles, Stage Two is 50 miles, Stage Three is 100 miles and Stage Four is 200 miles. Once you have completed 25 miles, you have the option to extend your challenge. If you are not able to make it to the end of the next stage, your achievement and progress will still be awarded in your locker. Eg. If you have entered as a gold member and make it to 25 miles but are unable to get to 50 miles (eg. you get to 42 miles), you will still receive your 25 miles medal and 42 miles will be recorded in your locker
5. Group Features
You can create a group and invite others to join you in the challenge. Track your progress and motivate each other by creating or joining a group. Select 'create a group' and you will be given a shareable code. You can create a group with up to 5 members and see their progress on the interactive map. This is shown as 'relative progress' which means the map shows progress as a % of each stage that the group member has achieved. For example, if one runner in a group is at 140 miles (40% of stage four) and one runner is at 20 miles (80% of stage one), the runner at 80% of their stage will be in front on their map. This is to keep everyone in your group motivated. It means you can have an inclusive group, for all abilities. Check out our group features video below.
