Creating a Challenge in PushPress
Challenges in PushPress are interactive tools designed to motivate gym members, inspire them to push their fitness boundaries, and foster a sense of community through friendly competition. For example, a “Monthly Movement Challenge” could include exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, or step tracking. Members log their daily results, with a live leaderboard providing updates on progress.
Key Features of Challenges
Numerical Scoring: Track measurable activities like “Rowing for total meters/calories” or “Steps per day.”
Community Engagement: Encourages camaraderie and competition among participants.
Add-Ons to Memberships: Challenges are typically add-ons to existing plans and do not require check-in options.
Steps to Build a Paid Challenge Plan in PushPress Core
If your challenge requires payment, you’ll need to create a plan for it in PushPress Core. If the challenge will be visible to all members, you don't need to create a specific plan to grant access. Here’s how to set up your challenge plan (Core):
Steps to Build Your Challenge Plan
Create a “Challenges” Category:
Go to Plans > Plan Categories from the left-hand menu in PushPress Core.
Click Create Category and name it Challenges.
Add a New Challenge Plan:
In the left-hand menu, click on Plans.
Click the + Plan button to start building the new challenge plan.
Define the Challenge Details:
Name the challenge (e.g., 30-Day Step Challenge).
Follow the prompts to set up payment and other details.
Set Payment Options:
Non-Recurring Payment:
Ideal for challenges with an upfront cost.
Add an optional Setup Fee and the Challenge Price.
Recurring Payment:
Spread payments over “x” months for “x” dollars.
Useful for longer-term challenges with multiple installments.
Adjust Access Options: Since challenges are typically an add-on:
Select No Classes Access.
Select No Open Gym.
Select No Appointments.
Tax Rate and Quantity:
Apply a tax rate if applicable.
Limit the quantity if the challenge has a finite number of participants.
