Get fit and healthy with your colleagues! All Aetna-covered employees through Pima County insurance are welcome to join. Connect through our online social network for fitness, health, and wellness.

  1. Track Progress: Set goals, track progress, compare results with peers, and share your successes.
  2. Find Supporters: Search the network and browse profiles to find colleagues to support you.
  3. Join Fun Challenges: Find challenges you like, invite your colleagues, and spread good health.
Compete start tracking your daily physical activity and working
  1. Minutes spent exercising each day
  2. Number of steps walked each day
  3. Percentage of weight lost

Each participant can choose which division to participate in, but keep in mind, teams must have at least five people competing in a category for scores to be official. If a team has fewer than five people in a category, team results will not be calculated in overall standings for that category.

Teams are ranked in the challenge standings each week, depending on their team member average for each activity. Teams with the most per-member exercise, steps, and weight loss will rank at the top of the charts.

Track your progress each day to chart your health across the challenge and help your team win!
