Active April Challenge

It’s easy to sit all day – let’s make movement non-negotiable this month.

The Goal?

Walk 250,000 steps by April 30 - about 8,000 steps per day.

Some days you’ll do more. Some days less.

It all adds up to healthier habits.

Sit Less.

Why is This Only $2?

We priced the Automation Coach at $2 so everyone can have a clear, reliable place to come to when they need help deciding what to automate next.

Instead of spending hours setting up automations you don’t need — or investing in support & tools before you’re ready — the Automation Coach gives you fast, tangible advice when you need it.

Frequently Asked

Questions

Why did you create this challenge?

I’ve been working at a desk for years and sitting all day is easy.

Between emails, Zoom calls, and backend tech, movement slowly became optional… and that wasn’t working for me.

I wanted built-in accountability.

And if I’m being honest? The best way to motivate me — and most people — is with money.

So I created a simple challenge with a clear goal and optional cash on the line.

Because accountability works and when money’s involved, people actually follow through.

Do I have to pay to join?

No. You can join the challenge for free and participate all month — track your steps, stay accountable, and be part of the group.

The paid option is completely optional and only required if you want to be eligible to split 100% of the entry fee cash and qualify for visibility bonuses.

How does the prize pot work?

The pot is made up of all paid entries for the month.

At the end of the month the remaining amount is split evenly among all paid participants who reach 250,000 steps (less processing fees).

If a paid participant does not reach 250,000 steps, their entry remains in the pot and increases the payout for those who finish.

Example: If 100 people join the paid challenge: 100 × $99 = $9,900 collected

We deduct approx $317 in processing fees from Stripe/PayPal ≈ $9,583 remaining in the pot

If 60 people finish, each person would receive about $159.

How are steps tracked?

We use a free app called StepUp. It syncs with Apple Health, Fitbit, Apple Watch, and most major trackers.

If a step is tracked on your device, it counts!

You must use StepUp to qualify for payout in the paid challenge.

Can I join after the 1st of the month?

You can join the free version at any time during the month.

The paid version is open from the 1st–15th only. After the 15th, paid registration closes for the current month.

Can I start in the free challenge and upgrade to paid?

Yes — as long as it’s before the 15th of the month.

You can begin in the free version and upgrade to the paid version anytime before paid registration closes on the 15th. After the 15th, you will have to wait to upgrade for the next month's challenge.

How does the payout work?

All paid participants who reach 250,000 steps will split 100% of the pot (minus processing fees).

Payouts are processed within 7 days after the month ends.

To receive payout, you must complete the payout form we send at the time of joining. If you do not submit the payout form within 7 days after the month ends, you forfeit your payout.

If you do not have a PayPal account, we can't send the payout to you.

Is there a leaderboard?

Yes! There will be a live leaderboard inside the StepUp app so you can see where you stand throughout the month. At the end of the month, we’ll verify final totals before announcing the official top participant.

What happens if I sign up for paid and don’t reach 250,000 steps?

If you don’t hit 250,000 steps, you do not qualify to split the pot.

There are no refunds for missed goals. Your entry remains in the pot and increases the payout for those who finish.

Do you offer refunds?

No. All paid entries are final. If you sign up for the paid challenge and do not reach 250,000 steps, you do not receive a refund.

What happens if there’s a tech glitch?

Participants are responsible for ensuring their StepUp app is properly synced and tracking correctly.

We are not responsible for technical issues, syncing problems, device errors, or glitches within the StepUp app itself that impact your step count.

By joining the challenge, you understand that tracking relies on third-party technology and you participate knowing that technical issues are possible.

Can I invite a friend to join?

Yes! You’re welcome to invite friends to join the free or paid challenge. The more accountability, the better. Just send them the link to this page.

Do I have to be a business owner to join?

No. This challenge is open to everyone. You do not need to own a business to participate.

Is there a community?

Yes. Inside the StepUp app, there’s a group chat where participants can share progress, encourage each other, and stay motivated throughout the month.

You’re welcome to join or keep it quiet and just focus on your steps.

Can I use manual step entry?

No. Steps must be tracked through the StepUp app and synced with a device. Manual entries will not qualify for payout.

What if I get injured, sick or miss a day?

The challenge is cumulative so if you miss a day or two, it's no problem.

We are looking for a total step count of 250,000 for the month so if that's 1K one day and 12K another, that's fine.

Paid entries are non-refundable and only those who reach 250,000 steps qualify for payout.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. You can use your phone’s built-in tracker or any compatible device that syncs with StepUp.

Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

For years, I taught people how to work less, automate more, and design businesses that don’t own their lives.

I was building systems. Increasing my revenue. Working fewer hours.

But I was sitting too much and not moving.

So I built this challenge to change that.

Because consistency works and accountability works even better.

It's time to design a better systems for our businesses and bodies.

Let's move together! 💪
