A personal “finish line” everyone can work toward
Target Mode gives participants a clear, achievable goal to work toward over the course of your challenge.
Instead of focusing on daily totals, participants aim to reach a specific cumulative goal — like 200,000 steps or 500 active minutes.
This mode is one of the most inclusive options because everyone sets their own pace.
🎯 What Target Mode Measures
Target Mode tracks:
Total individual steps, or
Total active minutes, or
Total individual distance completed by the end of your challenge.
It’s all about accumulation, not streaks.
📏 What Goal You’ll Set
You’ll set one total individual goal, such as:
200,000 steps
15 hours of active minutes
60 miles
Admins can also turn on Personalized Goals, allowing participants to choose their own goal from a range you define (example: 120k–300k steps). This dramatically boosts accessibility and participation.
📐 How to Choose the Right Total Goal (Simple Formula)
Setting the right goal is easy when you use this formula:
Total Goal = Daily Average × Number of Days
Use these baselines:
Most participants fall into these daily activity ranges:
Metric | Beginner | Mixed | Active |
Steps/day | 4–6k | 6–8k | 8–12k |
Miles/day | 1.5–2 | 2–3 | 3–5 |
Active minutes/day | 10–15 | 15–20 | 20–30 |
Pick the column that reflects your group.
Plug Into the Formula
Example A — 30-Day Challenge (Steps)
Daily average: 6,000/day
6,000 × 30 = 180,000 steps
Recommended goal: 180,000–240,000 steps
Example B — 14-Day Challenge (Miles)
Daily average: 2.5 miles/day
2.5 × 14 = 35 miles
Recommended goal: 30–40 miles
📊 Recommended Goal Ranges
Length | Steps | Miles | Active Minutes |
7 days | 45k–70k | 15–25 | 150–200 |
14 days | 90k–140k | 30–40 | 300–400 |
21 days | 135k–210k | 45–70 | 450–600 |
30 days | 180k–300k | 60–100 | 600–900 |
These ranges work for most mixed groups.
🧠 How Scoring Works
Participants earn progress toward their total goal throughout the challenge.
Their progress meter fills as they accumulate activity
Leaderboards (if stacked) show total progress
Users can exceed their goal — extra activity still counts
No penalties for off days
It’s incredibly easy to understand and satisfying to track.
💡 Best For
