0:03Hey guys, in this video we're going to
0:05be looking at Hope Fit's challenges
0:07feature. I'm going to show you how it
0:08works in both the coach side and the
0:10client side. Right now I am logged in as
0:12a coach and I am in the challenges
0:15section. This is where you can create
0:17and manage all of your challenges. So to
0:19create a challenge, you will see this
0:21add challenge option over here.
0:23You'll see here you're able to create
0:25two types of challenges. One is the
0:27leaderboard challenge and the other is
0:28the milestone challenge. The leaderboard
0:30challenge is where participants will
0:32compete for the highest rank. It is
0:34ideal for a competitive challenge.
0:36Clients will be ranked and first,
0:38second, and third place will appear on a
0:40podium. The milestone challenge is a
0:42challenge where all clients can win by
0:45unlocking badges as they hit each
0:47milestone. I'm going to show you how
0:48both the leaderboard and the milestone
0:50challenge works. So if we want to create
0:52a leaderboard challenge, we can click on
0:54this and then click continue. Here
0:56you'll see you'll have the option to
0:57pick your cover image. You can click on
0:59the change option to change the cover
1:01image. Here you'll see Hope Fit's
1:03pre-built library of cover images, but
1:05you can also add your own images over
1:07here. You can pick the challenge name,
1:09the description, and then you can pick
1:11the challenge type. There are several
1:13different challenge types. So here you
1:15have total steps. For clients to
1:17participate in this challenge, they will
1:19need to connect either Apple Health or
1:21Health Connect and the steps from there
1:23will count towards this challenge. You
1:25then have the workouts challenge. So you
1:27have three different challenges for
1:29workout, the total workouts completed,
1:31the total workout volume, and the total
1:33reps. For clients to participate in this
1:35challenge, they need to track their
1:36workouts within the Hope Fit app. And
1:39over here you have the nutrition
1:40challenges. So there's total days
1:42logged, the calorie target days, so the
1:44days that they were within their calorie
1:46target, and then the days that they were
1:48within their protein target. For clients
1:50to participate in the nutrition
1:51challenges, they will need to log their
1:53meals in the Hope Fit in-app tracker. So
1:56you can select the challenge that you
1:57want, and then you can pick a start and
2:00end date. You can pick a challenge for a
2:02future day if you want to pre-build your
2:04challenges and have them ready
2:05beforehand. So, that's how you can
2:07create your leaderboard challenge. I'm
2:09now going to go back and show you how we
2:10can create a milestone challenge. So, if
2:13I click on milestone and click continue,
2:15you'll see here you'll have the same
2:17options for adding the challenge with
2:19the same challenge types. The only
2:21difference is picking a badge theme and
2:23then picking the milestone where each
2:25badge is earned. If I click on the badge
2:27theme, you'll see all the different
2:28types of themes you can have for the
2:30badges. For example, if you click on
2:32animals, you'll see the badge theme is
2:34animals. If you want just a standard
2:36medal, you can pick that, and that is
2:38the badges that they will earn as they
2:39hit each milestone. So, if we selected
2:42the total steps challenge, I can then go
2:45ahead and pick the threshold for each of
2:47the milestones. So, let's say for
2:49bronze, they can earn this when they get
2:5110,000 steps, and then when they get
2:5320,000 steps, they will get the silver,
2:55and if they get 50,000 steps, they can
2:57get the gold, and so on until you fill
2:59the last one. So, you can preset the
3:01milestones however you want, and you can
3:03pick the themes to match the challenge
3:05that you want to run. So, that is all
3:07for creating a challenge. You also have
3:09the templates over here. Here you can
3:11browse templates to get ideas of
3:13different challenges to run, and you can
3:15quickly set up a challenge by using one
3:17of these templates. For example, over
3:19here we have a 1 million steps
3:21challenge. If I click on this, I can
3:23preview the challenge, see the different
3:25badges that's earned, and the
3:26milestones. And here I can preview what
3:28it would look like in the app. To use a
3:30template, you can click on this use
3:32template. So, if we click on this,
3:34you'll see here it will pre-fill
3:35everything. You can further modify the
3:37challenge if you want to, and then you
3:38can hit create challenge. So, that's how
3:40you can create challenges and browse the
3:42templates. I'm now going to show you how
3:44the challenges actually look. Over here
3:46we have two different challenges.
3:47They're both step challenges. One is a
3:49milestone challenge, and one is a
3:51leaderboard challenge. I'm going to show
3:52you how each of these different modes
3:54look like. We can start off with the
3:56leaderboard challenge. So, if I go ahead
3:58and click on this leaderboard challenge,
4:00over here you can see the cover image,
4:03you can see the name and the
4:04participants and about section. This is
4:07where you have your description. Here
4:08you have an overview of the challenge
4:10and here you have your leaderboard with
4:12the clients that are participating. So,
4:14you'll see here you have your podium
4:16with the top three clients. Here you can
4:18see this client is ranked number one and
4:20you can see how many steps they've
4:21gotten in total and over here you can
4:23see the remaining clients. Here you'll
4:25see the countdown for how long is left
4:27for the challenge. To add a client to a
4:29challenge, you can click on this manage
4:31access. You will receive notifications
4:33for the challenge. You can control that
4:35here if you want to turn them off. You
4:37can edit a challenge by clicking on this
4:38option here. You'll be able to edit the
4:40image, the name, description and the end
4:43date if you want to extend the
4:45challenge.
4:46So, that's the leaderboard challenge.
4:48I'm now going to head over to the
4:49milestone challenge to show you what
4:51that looks like.
4:53So, here you'll see the challenge looks
4:54the same. The only difference is there's
4:56no leaderboard where the clients are
4:57ranked. Instead, they all collect badges
5:00and then you'll see in the list ordered
5:02by who's collected the most badges right
5:04now. So, for example, you'll see this
5:06client over here has collected all five
5:08badges and you can see the total steps
5:10they've gotten so far in this challenge.
5:12You can see the milestones that you've
5:14set for this challenge over here. So,
5:16that is how you can create and manage
5:17your challenges. I'm now going to switch
5:19over to the client app to show you how
5:20the challenges looks like from the
5:22client side. So, I now have the client
5:24app open and I'm logged in as a client.
5:27I have the home tab open over here and
5:29this is where the clients can see their
5:31challenges. So, here you can see that I
5:33am in two challenges. One thing that's
5:35nice about Hope fitness challenge system
5:37is that clients can be in multiple
5:39challenges at the one time. You'll see
5:41here the first challenge is the
5:42milestone challenge and the client can
5:44see the badges that they have earned
5:46from the outside. And here this is a
5:48leaderboard challenge, and the client
5:50can see their current leaderboard rank
5:52from outside. I will go ahead and click
5:54on the leaderboard first to show you
5:55what that looks like.
5:57So here, the clients will be able to see
5:59the countdown for the challenge. If
6:01you've added any instructions, notes, or
6:02rules, they'll be able to view it by
6:04clicking this. And here, they can see
6:06the leaderboard with all the
6:07participants. Here, clients can share
6:10their current challenge progress to
6:12their social media, such as Instagram or
6:14Facebook. So it's integrated directly.
6:16If I click this, you can see all the
6:18different badges that they can share. So
6:20if we swipe, they can share and show the
6:23top five. They can show the top three in
6:26the podium, and there's several
6:28different options that they can share.
6:30So if I go ahead and click on the
6:31Instagram option here, it will open it
6:34directly in the story.
6:36And here, you can see the client can
6:37move this around. They can tag you. If
6:40you have your branding set within
6:41Hopefit, that will appear here instead
6:43of the Hopefit logo and the name. And
6:46the colors here will be based on your
6:47branding theme color once that is set.
6:50So this is a good way to get brand
6:51awareness from your clients sharing
6:54their challenges. I will now go ahead
6:56and show you what the milestone
6:58challenge looks like. So I will click on
6:59this first challenge here. The clients
7:01will be able to see all of the milestone
7:03over here and the threshold they have to
7:05achieve to earn each badge. Over here,
7:08the client can see the total steps that
7:10they have earned throughout this
7:11challenge. And here, they can see all
7:13the participants. Now, the participants
7:15do not display any sort of ranking, so
7:17it's just purely based on the badges
7:19that they've earned. Here, you can see
7:21each badge that the participant have
7:23earned. So in this case, they've earned
7:24five. This participant here has earned
7:27four. For the milestone, there's also
7:29special cards that can be shared by
7:30clicking this. I'll show you what that
7:32looks like. Here, the client can share
7:34specific badges,
7:36the badges that they're earning, and
7:38they have several different options that
7:40they can and onto social media. They can
7:42also click on these milestones if
7:44they've earned a badge and they want to
7:46share it. So, for example, if I want to
7:48share this gold badge, I can click on
7:50this and I can click on share to
7:52Instagram. So, that's how the challenges
7:54looks like from the client side on the
7:56app. I will now switch over to the coach
7:58side of the app to show you how it looks
8:00like on the coach app. So, here I am
8:01logged in as the coach and these are the
8:04challenges that we currently have
8:05running. I'll go ahead and click on the
8:07first challenge.
8:08And here you'll see this is the
8:09milestone challenge. So, similar to what
8:11we just saw on the client side, one
8:13difference here is that you will see the
8:15total steps across all clients. So,
8:17you'll see here the total steps is 2
8:19million across all the clients that are
8:21in this challenge. And here you'll see
8:23the total badges across all clients and
8:25how many have been earned so far. You
8:27can control your settings from here for
8:29the notifications. And you also have the
8:31ability to share to social media. From
8:34the coach side, you will get different
8:35sort of cards that you can share. So,
8:37I'll show you what that looks like.
8:38Here, for example, if you have an
8:39upcoming challenge with the dates and
8:42the different milestones, you can share
8:43that. So, if you want to show a teaser
8:45of an upcoming challenge, you can use
8:47this card. And then you have multiple
8:49different cards to show the top five
8:51badges that were earned, to show the
8:53hall of fame of the different users. So,
8:55there's several different options where
8:56you can show upcoming challenge or the
8:58current challenge progress. I will now
9:00show you what the leaderboard looks like
9:01from the coach point of view. So, I'll
9:03click on this leaderboard challenge.
9:05Here you will see the leaderboard,
9:07similar to what we just saw. And in this
9:09case, you also get certain cards that
9:11you can share onto social media. I'll go
9:13ahead and show you what that looks like.
9:15Here you can see you can share several
9:17different cards. You can share the
9:18podium.
9:20And you have several different options.
9:22So, that is everything when it comes to
9:23the challenges in Hopefit. If you have
9:25any questions, feel free to leave them
