Challenges are friendly competitions run by a coach, a gym or another member. You earn points for things you already do in CalCoach, such as logging food or hitting a step target.
Join
- Open the Challenges tab.
- Under Join challenges you'll see challenges you've been invited to, plus any open to your organisation or to everyone.
- Tap Join. For an invitation you can also tap Decline or Not now.
If someone invites you, you get a notification that opens this list. A private challenge can only be joined by invitation.
When you join part-way through, any qualifying activity you logged since the challenge started still counts.
Tracks and personal goals
Some challenges ask you to Pick your track, either Lean (lose body fat and build muscle), Power (build muscle and strength) or Athlete (build performance). Your track shows next to your name on the leaderboard. It doesn't change how you score. Some also ask for a personal goal, which is saved to your Notes so your coach can see it. You can change both later from Challenge information in the challenge menu.
What earns points
The organiser picks one or more activities, each worth a set number of points. Open Challenge information to see the exact rules. Activities can include:
- logging nutrition, weight, body fat, habits or exercise
- hitting a daily step target set by the organiser
- hitting your daily calorie, protein, carbs or fat goal
- completing all your habits
Challenges score either per day or per Monday–Sunday week (for example, "log your weight on 3 or more days").
Sprints and bonus points
A sprint is a stretch of the challenge where chosen activities earn extra points, shown as "Earn bonus points until…" with a multiplier such as ×2. Organisers can also award or deduct bonus points by hand for things the app can't track.
Leaderboards
The Leaderboard tab ranks everyone by points. Repeating challenges reset scores at the end of each week, month or cycle. Tap Share leaderboard to share it as an image. To leave, choose Leave challenge from the menu.
