How to set up a Fitness Challenge
The GoXPro platform offers two types of challenges:
- Fitness Challenges that revolve around activities and exercises,
- Body Transformation Challenges that focus on client transformation, generally about reducing fat and gaining muscle.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through setting up a Fitness Challenge, covering everything from naming the challenge to selecting criteria and activities. By following these steps, you can efficiently create engaging Fitness Challenges for Personal Training clients as well as gym members.

Fitness Challenge Leaderboard
The leaderboard for a Fitness Challenge is best showcased on a smart TV. When a new attempt by a participant is logged into the GoXPro app, the participant will move up the leaderboard based on their ranking. On the right, you can see any participants outside of the top 10 ranked, as well as any participants who haven't made an attempt yet. For a step-by-step guide on how to cast your leaderboard to a smart TV, watch our tutorial on this topic.
