If you’re looking for an extra dose of motivation, it’s time to check out the Challenges feature and pit yourself against other Free Athletes!
Research shows that training with others is a powerful motivator, and competing against your friends or other Free Athletes is also incredibly fun. Training together is a great way to drive yourself to new heights of fitness and feel a part of the Freeletics Community.
Joining or creating challenges is open to anyone with the app. You can choose from a variety of exercises and workouts, pick the details, duration, and name, and then invite anyone you want to join in or set it as open to the entire Community.
What kind of challenges can I create?
You can create a challenge with any of the Single exercises, Signature God workouts, or other workouts below based on either consistency or repetitions (volume).
Single exercises | God workouts | Other workouts |
Burpees Corkscrew Reverse Crunches Ground Supermen Inchworm Pushups Plank Shoulder Taps Plank Switches Pullups Pushups Squat Reverse Lunges Squats | Amazona Athena Charon Morpheus Prometheus Rhea Selene | 360 Flexibility Flow Daily Stretch On Your Marks Dumbbell Quick HIIT Full Core Control Jump Rope Fundamentals Kettlebell Activation |
How to access & create challenges
- Click on the Community tab and open the Challenges section to see a random selection of challenges that have been created by other Free Athletes that you can join
- Create your own by clicking on “Create a challenge”
- Choose what type of challenge you want: “Consistency” or “Repetitions”
- Follow the prompts to choose your exercise or workout, select how many repetitions you want to complete, choose the start and end dates, create a name, and set the visibility of your challenge
The app will then generate a link unique to your challenge that you use to invite others to join. Once you start a challenge, you can also access it from the Coach tab.
If you need ideas, check out some challenges other Free Athletes have created, find something new to try, or pick a workout or exercise you want to master. Go big and push yourself with a tough God workout, or go smaller with something like doing 25 Crunches every day. It’s up to you!
If you’re just getting started or maybe coming back to training after a break, challenges are a great way to get into a consistent workout routine.
Take part in a Freeletics Community Challenge
We also periodically launch sponsored Challenges (that are open to everyone) in your Community tab feed, so keep an eye out to join in and show the whole Free Athlete community what you’re made of. They’re a great way to get a sample of what training with Freeletics is all about. But beware, we make them tough!
Challenge FAQs
Do I need to have a Coach subscription to access challenges?
No. A Coach subscription is not required to create or take part in a challenge, but everyone participating needs to have downloaded the Freeletics Training app.
How do I share my challenge with others?
Take your competition to the next level by inviting friends with the unique challenge link via SMS, email, or via social media (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, etc.) using the “Invite Friends” button when you create the challenge or the “Invite Participants” button on the challenge once it’s created.
Am I required to invite other people to my challenge?
No, but we really recommend you do! Why? Research suggests that training with others can go a long way in motivating you to achieve your goals.
Can I participate in more than one challenge?
Yes! But keep in mind that challenges are meant to be completed in addition to your assigned training sessions and the Coach will take into account your completed challenge tasks. So, set yourself up for success by not taking on too much in one day!
Do the exercises I complete in my Coach-assigned training sessions count toward my challenges?
No, challenges are completed in addition to your Coach-assigned training sessions. However, any additional exercises you complete outside of your Coach will be calculated towards your challenge goal.
What happens if I miss a day?
It happens. Pick yourself up and keep going! There are no make-up days in challenges, so just get right back to it when you can! And you can also join a challenge after it’s started. You might not win, but it’s still a fun way to train alongside other Free Athletes and show off your strength.
