What Types of Health and Fitness Competitions are available on Strive?
- Strive offers a variety of health and fitness competitions that run for 1 to 10 weeks. These challenges are designed to help participants stay active and motivated while working toward their personal fitness goals.

How Do I Weagh in using my smart scale?
- To weigh in using your smart scale, simply step on the scale with bare feet and allow it to complete the measurement. Make sure the scale is connected to your phone or app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
- Once synced, your weight and other body metrics will automatically upload to the health app or platform connected to your smart scale. This data can then be used to track your progress in fitness competitions or personal goals.
What if I don't have a Smart Scale, can I still Weigh In and use the Strive App?
- Yes, you can still use the Strive App even if you don’t have a smart scale. The app allows manual entry of your weight.
- To weigh in, simply use any standard scale to measure your weight accurately.
- Then, open the Strive App and enter your weight manually on the weigh-in screen.
- This way, you can continue participating in weight-based competitions and track your progress without needing a smart scale.
What is the formula for Weight Loss Percentage to determine the winner?
- The formula for calculating Weight Loss Percentage is: (Starting Weight − Current Weight) ÷ Starting Weight × 100.
- This gives the percentage of total body weight lost, making it a fair way to compare progress among participants of different sizes.
- In Strive competitions, the person with the highest weight loss percentage is declared the winner in weight-loss-based challenges.
Do my competitors see my Body Measurements such as Weight, Body Fat Percentage, and BMI?
- No, your competitors do not see your personal body measurements such as weight, body fat percentage, or BMI.
- Strive values your privacy and only displays progress in terms of percentages or rankings on the leaderboard. This means others can see how you're doing in the competition, but not your actual numbers or sensitive data.
