Step into spring with the CFA Steptember exercise challenge
CFA Health Services are running the annual Steptember Team Exercise Challenge again in 2025.
This challenge has been a favourite among past participants so we are pleased to be running it again in 2025.
Last year, the challenge attracted 83 teams of CFA volunteers and employees, all working together to accumulate as many steps as possible during the month of September. The challenge provides a way to continue momentum and healthy habits from Active April, and an incentive to emerge from our winter hibernation back into some spring sunshine, support your physical pre-season preparedness and connect or reconnect with others.
We know regular exercise is important for both physical and mental wellbeing, with benefits ranging from improved mood to reduced risk of chronic disease.
Previous participants have also stated the value of the social connections that the challenge helps to build. "The social aspects of the challenge shouldn't be underestimated."
Still not sure if you want to register? All participants of registered teams receive a small gift once the challenge commences. This year, participants will get a Team Exercise Challenge branded gym towel.
Major prizes will also be distributed to teams who place first, second and third at the end of the challenge, as well as to the individual who takes the highest number of steps throughout September!
There are some new rules to be aware of this year, including team sizes and what can be included as steps to go towards your scores. All information can be found on Members Online.
