Viva Move

Viva Move is a fitness app that uses the same game mechanics as fantasy sports. You go head-to-head with your friends in weekly matchups. Whoever has the most points at the end of the week wins. Your real fitness activity goes on the scoreboard across five categories: 1. Steps 2. Active calories 3. Move minutes 4. Strength training 5. Sleep Every activity counts. Any workout, some extra steps, or even a great night of sleep can move the score and change the lead. Most fitness apps are built around tracking your activity on leaderboards. Viva Move turns it into a fantasy sports-style game. Head-to-head matchups, multi-category scoring, league standings, and single-elimination playoffs to raise the stakes even higher. When your workouts and activity are no longer a solo pursuit, it changes your behavior. You might be ready to skip another day until you see your friend just put in the work. Suddenly you’re taking an extra walk, squeezing in another workout, or doing jumping jacks in your living room. The competition gives you a reason to do a little more. Viva Move turns your group chat into a full-on fitness league. You can compete even if everyone has different routines, different schedules, different fitness trackers. The idea started with friends competing against friends, but the same game mechanics can work for larger groups too. Run clubs, personal trainers, gyms, fitness communities and companies can use Viva Move leagues to make fitness challenges more engaging instead of another leaderboard based only on steps. At its core, Viva Move is simple: fantasy sports, except you’re the athlete. Your workouts power the stats. Your friends are the competition. Your fitness tracker keeps score. If fantasy sports can make millions care about athletes they’ll never meet, imagine what it could do to make them care about the stats shaping their own future. It’s time to find out.
