The fitness challenge app: full feature set

When our clients ask, we listen. Multiple fitness studios asked us for a feature to make it easy to host fitness challenges for their members. 

So we designed the challenge feature: a beautiful, clean, modern and intuitive app for your members to sign up to and track any challenge. 

The challenge app feature has been introduced into Hapana’s offering, and trialed with amazing results. Here’s the full list of features that have been released (but watch this space - there’s many more to come).

How it works

Hapana’s fitness challenge app is designed to streamline the process of creating and managing studio challenges, ensuring easy creation, flexible starts, and effective goal tracking. With easy billing and aesthetically pleasing metrics, it will make your members feel connected, have fun, help them smash their goals, and stay looped into the community.

Main features

Challenge Configuration

Creating a studio challenge can be hard to track, difficult to maintain traction, and almost impossible to run in tangent to other in-studio offers. Hapana streamlines challenges, offering easy creation, flexible starts, and effective goal tracking.

  • Defined durations, goals, metrics, and customizable settings
  • Schedule timed launches with countdowns or activate instantly
  • Customizable templates for specific workout or attendance goals
  • Add objectives and prompt members to log their achievements
  • App banners target specific stages of the challenge
  • Business reporting tools giving insight into challenge statistics
  • Ability to sign up to challenges at a specific location or via an HQ account (for revenue to flow to HQ)
  • Fixed and rolling versions of the challenges
    • Fixed – starting on a specific date for a fixed period. Pre-purchase or enroll in a fixed challenge with a countdown timer until the challenge begins.
    • Rolling – starting on purchase for a fixed period (consider a dynamic challenge that a member is enrolled into when purchasing an intro offer).

Member engagement tools

Fighting low engagement in client activation campaigns can be tedious but see little return on effort. Use Hapana’s in app progress tracker to motivate members and heighten attendance.

  • Access challenge metrics, countdowns, and daily targets
  • Revise goals until the challenge begins
  • Create a list of goals for challenge users to select and track on a daily basis through the challenge period
  • Automatic achievement tick-offs for daily milestones
  • Detailed insights into members overall progress and key metrics
  • View progress for attendance, goals and metrics on graphs and progress bars
  • Specify assessment metrics to track on specific days of the challenge
  • Members can celebrate achievements across social media platforms, either during the challenge or on completion. Option to include "refer a friend" QR codes.
  • Record and display weekly attendance for a visually engaging journey
  • Members can mark instructors as favorites and access them through a dedicated module on the home screen

Additional features

Hapana’s fitness challenge app offers several other valuable features:

  • Countdown until challenge start date: A widget on the home screen displaying days until the challenge begins and the name of the challenge
  • Selecting challenge performance and accountability goals: Users can select and save goals from a configurable checklist, including options like sleep, meditation, water intake, and stretching.
  • Starting a challenge: The home screen widget prompts users to select their challenge goals, which must be done to proceed once the challenge starts.
  • Client data entry: Configurable data entry points on specific challenge days, prompting users to enter performance metrics (e.g., 5-minute row, push-up challenge).
  • Training tracker and daily goal submission: A progress tracker to monitor total attendances and remaining workouts, with celebration of achieving or exceeding goals.
  • Home screen block for challenge activation: A form for users to activate a challenge they qualify for, which will then show them the details of the challenges.
  • Rolling start modes for challenges: Options for challenges to start immediately upon purchase or upon the user’s first session attendance.
  • Membership and challenge linking: If the selected challenge is linked to a membership/package that the user has not purchased yet, they will be prompted to purchase it.
  • Challenge duration control: After a challenge duration exceeds the membership/package, the user will not be allowed to continue.
  • Challenge progress and completion: If the user clicks to view more of the performance metrics or daily progress, detailed metrics are displayed. When a challenge is completed, it will be archived with the option to view the history.
