Creating Challenges for Your Clients

Challenges in ABC Trainerize allow clients to compete and earn points by working out, achieving personal bests, completing habits, and more! 

In this article, we will go over how you can create challenges for your clients. 
 

Check out this how-to video to get started:

Types of Challenges

How to Create a Challenge

1. Click on the Challenges tab from the left menu and select the blue NEW button.

2. Select a Challenge Type and click CONTINUE.

3. Add Challenge Details:

• Input the Name of your Challenge (must be unique).
• Select a Start Date and Tim (must be in the future).
• Set the Duration.
• Add a Description.
• Select a Thumbnail Image.

Important Notes about Challenge Details:

• Challenge start times are based on the trainer/creator's time zone (the trainer's timezone can be edited on their profile).
• Challenges must be created at least 1 hour before start time to ensure the Challenge begins on time.
• If tracking daily nutrition goal hits, create the challenge at least 24 hours in advance. 
• Thumbnail images must be in .jpeg, .jpg, or .png format with a maximum file size of 5MB.
• There may be a slight delay in the Challenge start time selected. Please allow a few minutes after the intended start time for the app to refresh and the Challenge to start.
   

4. Click the Grey NEXT Button.

5. Set the rules for your Challenge:

• Leaderboard Challenges: 
  Select the tick boxes next to the ways of earning points you would like to apply  > Set the number of points each occurrence is worth > Hit the Blue CREATE button! 

• Threshold Challenges: 
  Select the tick boxes next to the ways of earning points you would like to apply  > Set the number of points each occurrence is worth > Select the points threshold participants need in order to pass the challenge > Hit the Blue CREATE button! 
   

Now that you've created your challenge– you can review the details, and add additional team members, and participants! 

Setting a Daily Cap Limit

You can set a daily cap under the Rules section when creating a Leaderboard or Threshold challenge. This limits daily points per earning method, allowing every client an equal chance to win a challenge. 

• Once selected, the drop-down allows you to choose from No Daily Cap to 5x a day. The default value is 1x a day. 
• If a daily cap is added to a challenge, then clients will only receive points for an activity if it's within that cap. For example, a daily cap of 1x a day means clients will receive points for their first cardio activity logged, but not the second or third on the same day. A daily cap of 2x a day means clients could receive points for up to 2 habits logged in a single day, but no more. 
• With the No Daily Cap option, clients do not have a limit on their activities completed that will receive points in the Challenge. 

How to Add Team Members

1. Select the Challenges Tab from the left-hand and navigate to the Rules & Settings Tab.
2. Hit the blue ADD Button.

3. Select team members from the drop-down options and hi the Blue ADD button. 

4. Select clients individually OR Select the tag to add clients by.
