The purpose of a Fitness Challenge is to motivate group members to adopt a healthy lifestyle as part of a friendly competition. The person who records the greatest weight loss, measurement loss, logs the most time or meals and / or completes an HRA by the end of the challenge wins. To track progress against your group, you can use the Fitness Challenge report on the Reporting page.
