Virtual challenges can help you make exercising into a habit. You are 4 times more likely to achieve your goal if you also join a Conqueror challenge, because it helps you setup a SMART fitness goal and it motivates you from start to finish.
Completing any of the challenges rewards you with a stunning finisher’s medal that will stand up in your collection.
You can choose a timeframe for each challenge of up to 78 weeks, and can either complete it solo or as a team
