15 Minute Exercise Challenge Reviews 

Artem and the 15 Minute Exercise Challenge have been a wonderful addition to the wellbeing focus we are trying to encourage in our organisation. We had some fantastic results with many of our staff members making transformative changes (i.e. losing 11kg in the 6 weeks). I would have no qualms in recommending Artem and the program to anyone looking to implement an exercise focused initiative in to their wellbeing program.

Really great initiative, one that I thoroughly enjoyed! I am already an active person and don't need the encouragement to get out and exercise however it was great to bring the team together in a healthy and fun way. It really brought out the competitive nature in many people who are usually fairly reserved.

What a great experience! The 15 Minute Challenge got me up from my desk, kept me accountable and created a great sense of comradery (and friendly rivalry!) in our organisation.

Fantastic way to get the team motivated to build on work relationships and improve physical and mental health.

Fantastic Initiative.

This program was a breath of fresh air. Thanking you all.

I enjoyed the Challenge, and think it was a good initiative. The interface was easy to use, and the updates along the way helped to keep us motivated and committed. Nice way to build team morale within a workplace too.

I have two suggestions for you:

1) I recommend that the end of the challenge should then include a series of ongoing primers to keep people committed to their newfound habit of daily exercise, sent to people for the month thereafter. It was a bit of an anticlimax once the challenge had ended, even for people like me who exercise a lot, and I'm worried that a lot of people might have reverted to their old sedentary ways, without some kind of transition period. I reckon the message at that point should be- 'this is a beginning not an end' of good exercise habits. Videos, articles, testimonials, etc sent weekly for a month after the challenge finished would help a reinforcement. The excellent book 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg gives some great practical advice on how to ingrain habits within people.

2) There should be a prize for the most minutes done by a team. Our team (Bee Dee Ell Oh Yeah) felt a bit peeved afterwards that we'd blitzed the number of minutes and were clear winner in that respect, but still didn't get a prize. There should be separate prizes to incentivise both the consistency and the extent of exercise.

Thanks,

The challenge made me exercise more often and kick started some good habits for me going into spring/summer. Not sure if we got much back from paying the registration fee, reason for paying it wasn't apparent. Overall I felt better and more motivated to exercise by the end of the challenge. It is really easy to fit a 15 min walk into your day!

This was a team building challenge as much as an exercise challenge. Our team became very competitive and encouraged each other along. Was well worth be included and our ward will certainly participate again next year.

website was easy to navigate and enter data. email updates were fun and not too pushy

The 15 Minute Challenge was great fun, and great for you! It really encouraged everyone in our workplace to get moving, improving both overall health and team morale.
