Active Back-to-School

Summer's over, but the energy stays. For 21 days, teams compete to accumulate the most active minutes. Running, gym, yoga, cycling — no matter the activity, every minute counts. The perfect challenge to kickstart healthy back-to-school habits.

Available year-round. This theme is optimized for September, but our experts adapt it to your own HR calendar.

Active Back-to-School

Back-to-school is the best time to move

For 21 days, every team in your organization races to accumulate the most active minutes. The goal is simple: log as many minutes of physical activity as possible. It doesn't matter how you move — what matters is that you move.

September is the new January. The back-to-school energy is here, motivation is fresh, schedules are falling back into place. This is THE moment to anchor new habits. And when it's a team effort, staying on track is so much easier.

Why active minutes?

Active minutes are the most democratic metric. 30 minutes of yoga counts just as much as 30 minutes of running. A gym workout is worth just as much as a long walk. Nobody is disadvantaged by their fitness level or preferred sport — every active minute contributes to the team's score.

It's also the easiest metric to weave into a daily routine. No need to run a marathon — a 20-minute walk at lunch, a spinning class after work, some morning stretching. Little by little, the habit rebuilds itself.

The competition effect

The real-time leaderboard between teams creates healthy momentum. Every day, teams see their progress and where they stand against others. Conversations shift: "Our team is averaging 45 minutes per person, let's push to 50!" That's the kind of dynamic that turns a simple resolution into a lasting habit.

Why 21 days?

The duration is intentional. Three weeks is enough to build real momentum and anchor a routine, but not so long that fatigue sets in. By the end of the challenge, your employees will have rediscovered the reflex of moving daily — and some won't stop.
