Teams and Competition

  • How do teams work?
    Teams can have between 1 and 8 members.
    After joining the challenge, you can create your own team, join one via an invite code, or be auto-assigned to a system-generated team.
  • How do I invite teammates?
    You can invite others via email (if they are already active Well users) or by sharing a unique invite code, which can be copied to your clipboard and sent via text or email.
    Please note: you may not invite others to a system-generated team.
  • How do I use my invite code?
    If you received an invite email, open the Well app and tap “Join Challenge” on the “Steps with the Squad” card. Select “Enter an invite code” and paste the code from your email to review and join your team.
  • Can I leave the challenge?
    Once you tap “Join Challenge,” you are officially part of the squad! You cannot leave or delete the challenge from your app after you join, so make sure you’re ready to move before you join.
  • Can I switch teams?
    Team switches are permitted at any time during the challenge, up until the final day. No changes will be allowed once the challenge has ended.

    • Mobile App: Leave your team by tapping the three dots in the top-right corner of the challenge screen, then “Switch teams”.
    • Web App: Leave your team by clicking “Switch teams” at the bottom of the challenge screen.
  • How is the challenge scored?
    Total steps: determined based on the teams’ total steps during the challenge period.
    Average steps: calculated by dividing the teams’ total steps accumulated by all members by the number of team members.

Tracking Your Steps

  • How do I log my steps?
    • Connected Devices: Sync a wearable or phone source (Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.) for automatic tracking.
    • Manual Entry: You can manually log steps in the MyHealth section of the app. 
  • Is there a daily step limit?
    Yes. While you can log up to 100,000 per day for your personal goals, only a maximum of 30,000 steps per day per person will count toward the challenge total.
  • Can non-step activities count?
    Yes. Activities without native steps (like swimming) can be manually converted into steps within the MyHealth section of the app, by using the toggle at the bottom of the MyHealth activity entry.
  • What if I forget to sync?
    Don’t worry, if you are adding your activity manually in MyHealth you have until August 23 to add steps from up to 14 days in the past.

Pro Tip: Use the Leaderboard in the challenge details to see the top 10 teams and check the “Rivals” section. Add a Rival by searching for their name or team name. It’s a great way to see how you’re stacking up against the other teams!

Please note: This Challenge is based on the honor system. It’s up to you to track your weekly goals and report your progress and participation. Staying accountable helps you feel proud of your achievements — and remember, if you miss a day, no worries. Just start back tomorrow!
