Challenge instructions
1. Joining
To participate in the challenge, every participant must log in with an existing FitQ account or, if they do not have one, create a new account. Creating an account is free. Then register for the challenge here on the challenge page, either on your own or as a team.
2. Forming a team
One team member must register the team using the registration form. More members can be added later: open the challenge, select “Results” from the menu and find the “+ADD NEW MEMBER” button.
The team member’s email address must be the same one previously used to register their FitQ account. If they do not have an account, they must create one.
All participants will receive a confirmation email. If you cannot find the confirmation email, check your junk mail folder (spam) and make sure the team member’s email address was entered correctly.
Once the team has been registered, all members automatically gain access to the challenge. They only need to log in to the FitQ account created with the same email address. If they do not have an account, they must create one.
3. Challenge cost
Registration for the challenge is free. All users get one selected workout from our video library free each day (7 different workouts in total), while FitQ Premium customers receive a completely new workout every day.

4. Workout content and tasks
The video workouts last 15–30 minutes. As several coaches are involved in the challenge, the workout styles also vary. The challenge includes both short, intense sessions and more relaxing workouts. The overall workout plan is designed to cover all your major muscle groups.
5. Equipment needed
For most of the workouts, all you need to exercise at home is a workout mat. Depending on your fitness level, you can always make any workout more challenging by using additional resistance such as dumbbells or resistance bands.
6. How challenge points are calculated
JõuluQ leaderboard points are calculated according to the FitQ points system:
You can earn points by watching workout videos. Premium users earn 10 points per minute of exercise, while free users earn 6 points per minute of exercise. Any video workout on the FitQ platform counts. You can also earn points from AI tests (for example, 1 squat = 1 point). In programmes, you earn 125 points for marking a task as complete, while Premium users earn 250 points. Team members’ points are added together in the results table.
7. Announcing the winners
If you complete all the workouts and tasks, the team members with the highest point totals will have a chance to win prize-draw rewards. We will announce the winners no later than 27.12.2023.
Stay active with your friends over the holidays, and we’ll see you in the JõuluQ challenge!
