Dear colleagues,
A little over a week ago, we launched the brand new BESIX Fit App, a sports community App which allows you to connect with colleagues all over the world over shared sports interests.
Haven’t signed up yet? Don’t postpone it any longer, go to your phone’s App Store, look for ‘BESIX Fit’ and download the App.
Based on your location and the sports preferences you entered when setting up your profile, you will be shown relevant groups, events, challenges and coworkers.
Step Up Your Summer with BESIX Fit
In true BESIX Fit tradition, it’s time for a first sports challenge since launching the App!
BESIX Fit challenges you to Step Up Your Summer. The warmer temperatures and longer days are the perfect time to embrace the great outdoors, stay active, and connect with colleagues in a fun and healthy way.
Our common goal: collect a total of 100.000 km by walking, running, hiking or even on a treadmill. Any way in which you can collect steps, counts!
For those of you who love a bit of friendly competition, you can see which colleague has collected the most kilometers per day in the challenge stats.
How to join the challenge
- Download the BESIX Fit App.
- Set up your profile by choosing your favourite sports activities and indicate your level of proficiency.
- Go to the BESIX tab in the App (bottom left) and click ‘Challenge’.
- Enroll to the Challenge by linking your favourite sports tracking app or sports wearable to the BESIX Fit App & start collecting those km’s 👟👟.
Which sports tracking apps or wearables can you connect to BESIX Fit?
There are different sports wearables that connect to the App:
If you don’t have a wearable, you can track your progress by connecting any of the following apps on your phone:
- Use the free app Google Fit to track your activity on you Android or Apple phone. You can even connect your Apple Health App, which is the automatic activity tracker in your Apple phone, to Google Fit.
- Use UnderArmour’s free ‘MapMyFitness’, ‘MapMyRun’ or ‘MapMyWalk’ Apps every time you are working out, walking or hiking.
Lastly, here are some more Apps you can connect to BESIX Fit:
We are working on connecting Strava and the Apple Health app to BESIX Fit, so if you’re using those, sit tight and in the meantime, you can try an alternative. You can change Apps without losing your progress.
