Fitness challenge sign-up
Participants join a team or go solo and set a daily goal; each team caps at four.
What's inside
Each team shows its places left and fills at four; people who go solo are asked whether they want a check-in buddy.

A challenge people finish
Open sign-ups a week before day 1 and post the link where people already talk: the office chat, the gym's Instagram story or a friends' group.
Teams of four keep people honest. Name the teams yourself; funny names get more sign-ups than Team A and Team B.
A goal per person keeps the challenge fair for a new walker and a marathoner. Score teams by the share of days each member hits their own goal, not by total steps.
The why answers make good Monday messages. Quote one, with permission, when you send the weekly leaderboard.
Fitness challenge questions
Can I run a plank or push-up challenge instead?
Yes. Change the goal options to reps, for example 20, 50 or 100 a day, and the title. Teams and the buddy question work for any daily challenge. Rename the goal question too, like Daily push-up goal, and rewrite the intro with the new rule. For a plank challenge, use seconds instead, such as 30, 60 or 120.
How do people report their steps?
Ask for a Sunday count by message, or make a second short form with name, week and steps. Keep one reply per person per week. A dropdown for the week, from week 1 to week 5, stops typos and keeps the replies easy to sort. Make steps a number question, then export the replies as a CSV file each Monday to add them up for the leaderboard.
What if more than 16 people join?
Add more teams to the team question, each with four places, and give them names in the same spirit. Solo stays open with no limit, and solo walkers who asked for a buddy can be paired with each other. Open two new teams at a time, so they fill up instead of leaving several teams with one or two members.
