Are Virtual Challenges a SCAM?

Virtual Challenge could be expensive sometime, and are we really paying for nothing? What are we really getting out of a virtual challenge?

I ran my first marathon because of these challenges. I wasn't confident to sign up to a real marathon and this was way cheaper and less pressure... Yes it took me 5hrs but i did it and ive got a cool medal to show for it

It's not a scam per se. You are paying for a medal. Which means Nothing to anyone BUT YOU
its a reward to yourself for Actually giving a shit about yourself and your health.

I've just started the LORD OF RINGS challenge...they innovate and find new challenges every time. The medals are great and with quality! Not a scam at all, it's my 4th challenge!

Apart from the medal, I find it interesting that they offer some type of helping the environment through planting trees and cleaning the ocean (I want to believe they actually do that). Personally, I see it as motivation and charity. The medal is a sweet bonus for me :D

This is great for the Office or Gamer type a person. I am a professional game artist and I spend up to 15h+ on a chair. With this challenge, I managed to have a reason (The Medal) to move my dead body. As a Gamer myself, I like collecting items, so these medals have 2 meanings for me. 1. Collector item 2. Cookie Jar item (David Goggins reference) You can look back and be proud of running 100km/miles+.

If you are already into sports and running, I don't see a reason to join this tbh. Anyway, great content!

I just joined my first 2 challenges this year and you aren’t wrong about the simplicity. I didn’t realize how much walking I did until I did my first challenge and completed in 1 week. The FB group is amazing as well. I have never seen such a collection of positive people.

It seems that there are a lot of people who do not know the meaning of the word scam. It also seems like there are a lot of people that are overly worried about what others decide to spend their money on.

They've changed pricing - shortest Challenges are around $25 USD, then 100miles - 900 range between $30-$35 USD (plus shipping) other than that, absolutely worth it!

My family and I live hundreds and even thousands of miles from each other. These challenges have helped me connect with some of them on an almost daily basis. I've done 2 challenges w/my mom and 1 w/an aunt so far. If you do a challenge a month, that's like the price of a gym membership. To me, it's worth it

[natsnicnacs]

I didn't hear him mention that trees get planted and plastic bottles get picked up on your behalf every 20% accomplished you get to pick from the two options, I picked plant a tree and I do my own clean up on walks that I take ✌️

[serobinson]

I think it depends on the person . If rewards and community help this is great! I'm gonna start with a short one just to feel good about myself since I'm just getting back into fitness

[stargateerica]

A scam would be if you paid the money and don't the thing you pay for. If the motivation to move and the medal is worth the money, than it good, if it's not worth your money, don't do it. It's not a scam.

[questionablyelven]

I bought the Shire challenge in December and lost 23lbs so far. They're literally just giving you a medal and a fun form of motivation. I regret nothing and will probably buy another, honestly.

[theth]

this idea is the future of the fitness industry... I can see this being incorporated in every single gym membership, subscription fitness service Imagine Pelaton actually has similar medals ... or every workout you do at your gym is tallied for medals... this is AWESOME

[curtrodriguez]

I absolutely love the Conquerer virtual challenges for all the reasons you have pointed out. I have completed six challenges (now on my 7th) and have walked, swam, cycled, and boxed well over 500 miles!! I have also lost 20 pounds! I now have my wife and daughter doing them, so it's a family thing that we share! Thanks for the video, and happy conquering!

[joshuagrill]

I found it to be a scam. App didn't work and customer service was non-existent. I couldn't even communicate with their AI customer service. I had to call the bank to dispute the charges

[SethKamins]

You are paying for very high quality medals and t shirts. It's worth it for me!

[aura.mp]

I love these challenges, building a medal collection is something I wanted since I was a kid but I was never in any sports, so now I’m living out my childhood dreams lol

[Monkeytown]

I think it's worth the money. A single participation in running race is the same price of one of these medals. Some take months to finish. I'm now trying one of 500k and I'm learning new things about a far away country along the way.

[doraedwards]

I enjoy the races and community. The medals are for me a nice motivator. I can respect that there are many people who feel like just doing the run or activity and being consistent is a reward in itself and I truly admire that. Unfortunately I am not built that way and so I use these races as an incentive to do the work that I should do but don’t want to do.
