Save your activities: your runs, bike rides and exercises done at home!Bet on healthy competition where everyone is a winner. What counts is regularity and team motivation.

#StayActiveTogether

Following the government’s recommendations and taking care of your safety, we have introduced a daily limit of the open-air activities and added the option of saving the “at home” activities. We measure the duration of your workout (and not its intensity) and we accept the indoor activities saved in your Garmin and Strava accounts.

FAQ

  • How long does the Business Active Challenge last and when can I join?
    faq-icon
    Business Active Challenge has no end date :) Throughout the year you can join the challenge and compare yourself with others. Thanks to the fact that queues (editions) last one week (Monday to Sunday), every 7 days there is a new chance for a perfect place in the ranking.
  • Is the challenge divided into editions? From when to when do queues last?
    faq-icon
    The challenge is divided into queues. Each queue lasts a week, starts on Monday at 00:00 and ends on Sunday at 23:59. After each queue the points will break, so the game starts again. But your points are not forfeited, you can always check the general classification, the sum of all queues. All your activities are also saved in your profile (click on your avatar).
  • Who can take part in the Business Active Challenge?
    faq-icon
    Everyone can join the challenge. A person who registers in the Activy application is automatically added to the individual ranking. However, we encourage you to join the team competition, after entering the application you should start a team or join an existing one. We mainly focus on competition between 5-person company teams, if your friends from work are not willing, you can invite family and friends.
  • Do I need a team to take part in a challenge?
    faq-icon
    You can compete individually, but we encourage you to set up teams. In a group it is always easier to get motivated :)
  • What can I get points in the challenge for? Do my kilometres do not count at all?
    faq-icon
    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have disabled the awarding of points for kilometres. However, each of your trips will have distance statistics, and you will analyze your exact results and statistics at different times in the "My Profile" panel. Now is not the time to beat the records in distances, putting your health and others at risk. In this competition we focus on maintaining physical fitness and regularity of undertaken activities. Therefore, you can only receive points for activity: - 10 points for 1 exercise at home, the exercise has to last for at least one minute. 10 minutes, the points will be counted only up to 3 activities per day (of course you can do more, but you will not receive points for them), - 10 points for 1 running activity, covering a minimum of 1.5 km, points will only be counted for one activity per day (temporary restriction), - 10 points for 1 bicycle activity per day, cover a minimum of 1.5 km, points will be counted only for one such activity per day (temporary restriction), - points for regularity, i.e. consecutive days with activity (of any kind) performed: - 50 points for 3 days in a row with activity, - 100 points for 5 days in a row with activity, - 200 points for 7 days in a row with activity. - The score can change when the world gets over the pandemic, top-down restrictions disappear and we return to work from offices. Activy will then again award points for distance and bonuses for cycling or running to work.
  • What activities are counted in the challenge?
    faq-icon
    In the current version of the Business Active Challenge, activities in three categories count towards points: - Exercises - any exercise performed e.g. at home, saved in Activy using the stopwatch function or through integration with Strava, Garmin and soon also Polar. Examples of exercises: yoga, cardio, orbit, paddle, strength, stretching, etc., - Cycling - recorded in Activy or synchronized applications, the ride must be at least 1.5 km.

  • Do I have to change accounts to save different activities?
    faq-icon
    No, just one account. When you start an activity, you choose its type: Bike, Run, Exercise. Rankings are conducted for all activities together, but also separately for cycling, running and exercise. Therefore, you can compare yourself in each of them separately or together (total points for all activities).
  • Are there any prizes to be won for participating in the challenge?
    faq-icon
    We do not want the main motivation for the activity to be the carrot approach, so we do not sponsor prizes. Additionally, participation in the challenge is free. We focus on mutual motivation and good fun. We do not exclude that in the following months there will be partners with symbolic prizes for the best teams. If you have your own team, you can think about internal rewarding the best members. Remember that you don't have to spend a fortune, it can be a nice gesture, a virtual diploma or a healthy cake delivered to the door.

  • Do I have to use the Activy app to save activities?
    faq-icon
    The Activy application has its own activity log system, just press the big green button and select an activity type. If you don't want to use Activy recording, you can synchronize Activy with your accounts in Strava, Garmin and soon with the Polar Watch app. You can find the possibility of synchronization by going to Settings by clicking on the button in the top right corner of the main application screen.
  • Why is there no integration with Endomondo?
    faq-icon
    Unfortunately, Endomondo does not provide developers with the ability to connect to external applications (API). We have been in contact with Endomondo for 2 years now and as soon as the situation changes we will make this integration possible.
  • Is it possible to save activities from trainer/trainer devices in the application?
    faq-icon
    Yes, any training on the trainer and treadmill can be included in the challenge by integrating Activy with the Strava, Garmin and Polar applications. The activities are then included as cycling and running respectively. If you are not using the Activy synchronization applications, you can enter a workout manually, but only as an activity of the exercise type that is not included in the cycling and running rankings.
  • How can I report my company to take part in the Business Active Challenge?
    faq-icon

If your company would like to organize a dedicated competition for its employees, go to the Schedule a demo page and leave a contact or write to patryk@activy.pl. Our team will contact you and send you the necessary information.
  • My company is not on the list of companies entered in the application. What to do?
    faq-icon
    Go to the challenge and click sign up a team. In the team wizard you will find the item Company. There is already an extensive list of companies, but if you don't have one, just enter its name. A team does not have to have a company. You can enter the name of your organization, college or come up with your Nilfgaard ;)

    No, team points are the sum of individual points of all team members.
  • Can team members change?

The replaced player must leave the team (more button > leave the team in the team view) and a new person joins the team to take up the vacancy. Remember, however, that only those activities of the new person that were saved after registering an account in Activy will count.
  • Do I need a full 5-person team to start the competition?
    faq-icon
    No, one team member is enough, but the more people you have, the better the chances for a high position in the ranking. The team can have a maximum of 5 people.
  • Does the team have to be set up right away, or can I gather friends only after some time?
    faq-icon
    When you start a team, you set up a name and a password for access, which you can send to your friends. The team will be visible in the ranking immediately after founding, even if your friends do not join it yet. The result of the team is the sum of individual results, so even if other members join later (and have already been registered in the application), their results will be included in the team statistics. By registering in the Activy application and selecting the country "Poland", your account is automatically assigned to the Business Active Challenge and is visible in the individual ranking.
  • What should I do if my route was not credited by the application / I have problems with the application?
    faq-icon
    There are very rare cases when such a situation may be caused by the application. Most often it is only necessary to change settings on the phone to optimize the battery and work in the background of applications saving routes with GPS. This is especially true for Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung phones. The application informs you if your phone needs to check if your settings are adjusted to save routes in the application. You can find all the information in Activy's Help, and you can also check the information about problematic phones at https://dontkillmyapp.com/. Remember also that an Internet connection is required for the correct calculation of the route and the points. If you have other problems, you can also contact us by writing to help@activy.bike - we will be happy to help you! :)
