Some days the hardest part of training is starting, so FITIV gives you a few extra reasons to show up. Workouts earn points that move you up Career Mode levels, and you can join challenges with friends, collect badges for your milestones, and see how your week stacks up against theirs on the leaderboard.
FITIV Points: Credit for Effort
Workouts you record earn FITIV Points based on how hard and how long you worked: your average METs multiplied by the workout's minutes. Points start once a workout averages at least 3 METs, so light activity like a slow walk or gentle stretching may not earn any, and neither do workouts you add manually. If a workout you expected to count shows no points, see the help center's guide on why you might not be earning FITIV Points. Because points reward effort rather than distance or steps, a tough lifting session counts just like a run or a ride, so it stays fair whether you're a runner, a lifter, or just getting started.
Each workout on your Today tab shows the points it earned, and FITIV Points is one of the live metrics you can show during a workout on iPhone or Apple Watch.
Career Mode
Your points add up in Career on your Profile, which moves you through levels as you stay consistent. There's always a next level to work toward, which helps on the weeks when motivation dips.
Leaderboards
The Leaderboard on your Profile ranks you against the people you follow by FITIV Points, distance (overall, running, or cycling), workout time, workout count, or active calories, for the week, month, or year. A friend's strong week is often the nudge you need to get your own session in. To add friends, follow them from your Profile; the help center explains how to use the leaderboard with friends.
Achievement Badges
Your badges collect under Achievements on your Profile: milestone badges for things like workout counts and points totals, badges for completed challenges, and limited-edition badges. Over time, they become a record of your consistency.
Challenges
A challenge gives your training a target and a deadline. Each one sets a goal over set dates: a number of workouts, FITIV Points, distance, training time, or active calories, sometimes for specific workout types. Challenges can be individual or group, and each has its own leaderboard so you can see where you stand.
Find suggested challenges under Challenges in your Profile, or join a friend's from their invite link. Completing a challenge earns you a badge on top of the points you're already collecting, and a home screen widget keeps your progress in view. FITIV also runs themed challenges tied to the season.
Push Hard, Recover Smart
Competition gets you out the door, and recovery lets you keep doing it. Say it's Saturday, you're a few points behind a friend, and you slept badly. Check your Training Readiness before you chase them: if it's Low, the points can wait until you're fresher.
Try this: pick one training partner and compare your week on the leaderboard every Sunday. That small habit makes Monday a lot harder to skip.
