Step Challenge Champions (Q2 2022)

Another quarter has passed, which means another Multi-Jurisdictional Step Challenge has been completed!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our quarterly Step Challenge. We have a handful of new champions on the block. Our new champions are…(drum roll):

Shara Seymour, Audrea Dean, Thereze Missick, Phylicia DeGregory Brennen, and Charrise Minus from DELTEC Bank, Bahamas.

Congrats! Our new champions have only been CG Zest Wellness members for a few months and were kind enough to share their experiences so far in addition to some tips on how to stay motivated to reach the top. Here’s what they had to say:

1. What are your first impressions of the CG Zest Wellness program?

We were excited about the program and what it had to offer for us to live a more healthier lifestyle. The program seems to be inclusive regardless of your fitness level and very user-friendly. We also love the health resources found on the app and always look forward to the comradery with our colleagues.

2. How did you stay motivated throughout the challenge to come out on top?

We came 2nd in the first challenge, but this time we wanted the win. We don’t like to lose so we had to keep pushing to try our best to meet the daily step minimum of 30K. Additionally, we didn’t want to let the team down, especially after we came second in the first challenge. Competition drives everyone to want to win. Our team members checked in daily with encouraging words. We assured each other that we would not be defeated!

3. Are there other areas of the CG Zest Platform that you have discovered, used, or are excited about?

We’re excited about the drop-in group fitness classes. We also enjoy the health check and the daily card benefits, not only because they give you extra points, but they also give you daily wellness tips.

4. Besides being winners and each receiving 500pts for your achievement, how has being part of CG Zest Wellness benefited you so far?

The CG Zest Wellness Platform, powered by Virgin Pulse helps to keep you active and regain focus on personal health goals. When you start to fall off, the challenges help you to get back on track. It has given that extra push to stay consistent and fully embrace a healthier lifestyle.

5. What advice would you give other teams who want to follow in your "digital footsteps" to be multi-jurisdictional step challenge champions?

Choose the right teammates – teamwork makes the dream work! Everyone needs to be as determined and dedicated to the goal as you are. Be sure to team up with like-minded individuals who too are up for the challenge. In addition, always remember the reason you started your health journey, set attainable goals and each day smash them bit by bit.

Don’t give up! Put in the work! You can achieve better results as a team.

6. Will you be joining the Q3 step challenge to defend your title?!

Without a doubt!

And there you have it! As our champions have mentioned, it’s important to never give up even when the going gets tough and to find yourself a support circle that is willing to help you stay accountable.

Try to incorporate some of these tips into our next Q3 Multi-Jurisdictional Step Challenge on the CG Zest Wellness App. Round up your teammates and stay tuned for our Q3 Step Challenge announcement as we look to step it up across Hawaii’s five most populated islands!
