15 Prize ideas for a company steps challenge

A corporate steps challenge is a great way to boost employee wellbeing and get people moving. As well as bragging rights, offering prizes is a great way to incentivise your team. Here are some ideas you can use for your next walking or steps challenge!
1. A day off
Everyone could use an extra day to relax, recharge, and reset. Offer a day off as a prize for whoever logs the most steps or has the biggest percentage increase in their step count from the previous week.
2. A gift card to a local restaurant or shop
Who doesn't love free money to spend however they want? Whether it's a voucher their favourite restaurant or a gift card to a nearby shopping center, your employees will appreciate this prize.
3. A fitness tracker
Help your employees reach their fitness goals by giving them a new fitness tracker. This prize is especially motivating if you include a challenge to see who can rack up the most steps in a week or month.
4. A massage
Everyone could use a little bit of extra pampering. Offer a free 30-minute massage as a prize for whoever completes the most steps in a given week.
5. A free month of gym membership
If your company already offers gym membership as an employee benefit, take it one step further and offer a free month of membership as a prize.

For the ultimate health and wellness prize, offer a weekend stay at a nearby spa or resort. This is sure to motivate your employees to reach their step goals!

11. Movie tickets
Movie tickets make great prizes because they can be used again and again. Whether your employees prefer going to the latest blockbuster hit or catching up on classic films, they'll appreciate this prize
