Most people struggle to find the motivation to exercise, and even when they do, it’s just too boring. That’s why we created A Step Ahead™.

A Step Ahead turns everyday walking into playable adventures where teams race through stories like the zombie apocalypse, superhero missions, an alien invasion, fairy-tale quests, and more. Your team’s real-world steps move the story forward, and friendly fun keeps everyone motivated.

Complements your other corporate wellness initiatives.

A Step Ahead™ isn’t a replacement for your other corporate wellness programs, it’s designed to complement them by filling in the engagement gap.

Walk now. Play later.

A Step Ahead™ is designed to be complementary to employees’ physical activity. The app doesn’t need to be open while you walk or exercise. Simply track your activity, using a fitness wearable or your smartphone’s internal pedometer, then open the app to sync your activity at any time.

Use your real-world steps for movement.

In A Step Ahead™ employees are chased from behind by an enemy horde (like zombies, alien invaders, supervillain minions etc.). You need to take enough real-world steps to stay ahead of the in-game horde.

Use your real-world exercise to battle.

Battling in-game obstacles requires Power. You earn 1 Power point for each minute of exercise you sync. You receive some Power just from taking steps, but syncing workouts will give you an edge on obstacles.

Boost Wellness, Connection, and Engagement.

A Step Ahead Virtual Walking Challenges help your company stay active physically, mentally, and socially with world-class engagement.

Companies using A Step Ahead see a 32.5% average increase in participation over their past wellness challenges.

Employees Love It

A Step Ahead has an excellent 4.8/5 app store rating across thousands of reviews.

Supports all the most popular wearables and apps

A Step Ahead™ syncs directly with popular devices like Apple Watch, Fitbit and Garmin, or you can sync your activity from your favorite wearable or fitness app through Apple Health (on iOS) or Google Fit (on Android). 

Don’t have a wearable? No problem! A Step Ahead™ can sync steps using just your smartphone. Just remember to bring it with you!

Common Questions

No. You can walk and exercise throughout the day and the A Step Ahead™ app will sync all of that activity when you open it. You can then use all the activity you accrued to advance your adventure forward at any time.

In each ASA™ Mission you’ll be chased from behind by an enemy horde (like zombies, aliens, robots etc.). If you fall behind, you risk being captured or assimilated. You can stay ahead of the horde and progress toward your distance target using your steps.

Along the way, you’ll run into obstacles that block your path. Obstacles range from everyday packs of enemies to creatures, monsters, barricades, and boss villains. You use your exercise to battle/conquer obstacles, as well as heal yourself and/or your teammates when you take health damage.

In game, you get some exercise points just for walking, but you can make overcoming obstacles much easier by tracking non-walking exercise.

Teams can be 1-10 players and all goals are per team member.

For example, if a safehouse is 100,000 steps away, a team of 3 would need to cover 300,000 steps, collectively, to reach it. 

Obstacles also scale to your team size, so the bigger your team, the more enemies you’ll have to fight!

Yep, start now or schedule your Mission to start at a future date. The world is your oyster!

A Step Ahead™ is designed to be complementary to your other wellness platforms. What we specialize in is world-class employee engagement.

By getting more of your employees to participate, then creating a buzz-worthy shared experience, A Step Ahead helps jumpstart your employee engagement, which benefits all aspects of your corporate wellness programs. 

On the employee side, A Step Ahead is complementary to any other fitness apps your employees may use. 

Employees can still use their favorite exercise apps and sync their activity into A Step Ahead to advance their team’s adventure forward.

A Step Ahead™ is for employees of all fitness levels.

For employees just starting (or re-starting) their fitness journey, it can be really difficult to find the motivation and consistency needed to get a fitness routine to turn into a consistent lifestyle habit, and A Step Ahead is a great tool for helping get there.

If fitness is already part of your employees’ lifestyle, A Step Ahead enhances what they’re already doing by turning fitness into an interactive adventure.

Not at all. In fact, the majority of A Step Ahead participants identify as non-gamers.

Demographics wise, A Step Ahead has a fairly even split between male and female participants, and engages evenly across age bands, including the notoriously hard-to-reach 40-59 age range.

A Step Ahead Users, by Age:

20-29: 15.4%, 30-39: 28.7%, 40-49: 26.6%, 50-59: 22.0%

Yes! The art, animation and storytelling are all family friendly and work appropriate.

There’s no other Virtual Walking Challenge like A Step Ahead™, but you don’t have to take our word for it

With over 7,000 reviews and counting, ASA™ has a stellar 4.8 / 5 rating on the App Store.
